Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media has dated its first crop of movies, formalizing its evolution from a financing and production company to a mini-major.

Relativity announced Thursday that it, instead of Universal, will distribute “The Dark Fields” and “Kids in America,” following its acquisition of Overture Films’ distribution and marketing operation. Both are Relativity films.

“Kids in America,” produced by Imagine Entertainment and shot in 2007, opens nationwide on March 4, 2011. “Dark Fields,” toplining Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper and Abbie Cornish, opens March 18.

U had been set to open “Kids” on Dec. 3 and “Dark Fields” on Jan. 21.

Relativity also dated martial arts Western “The Warrior’s Way” for Dec. 3, although that is a rent-a-system deal with Emerald City and Sad Flutes.
