The Weinstein Co. bumped up the release of Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight” to New Year’s Day, giving it an extra week before going head-to-head with Leonardo DiCaprio-helmed “The Revenant.”

The move announced Friday won’t affect “The Hateful Eight’s” so-called “road show” run on old-fashioned ­70 mm celluloid. That ambitious effort, which had the Harvey Weinstein studio turning to eBay to round up discarded projectors capable of playing 70 mm prints, will go forward in 100 theaters on Christmas Day.

The earlier digital drop brings “The Hateful Eight,” previously slated to open Jan. 8, into the competitive orbit of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” a week sooner than originally planned. The Disney tentpole, set for Dec. 18, is widely considered the 800-pound gorilla of Hollywood’s congested holiday season.

Tarantino’s film is set in post-Civil War Wyoming and follows duplicitous bounty hunters who shelter from a blizzard at a trading post. “The Revenant,” still slated for release on Jan. 8, also features the great outdoors of yore with DiCaprio’s character seeking vengeance against those who left him for dead.

Noting the films’ similarities, Hollywood bloggers approved the revised schedule. “The Star Wars effect will be limited,” one posted. “But ‘The Revenant’ and ‘Hateful Eight’ are clearly going up after the same audience.”
