Two weeks after pulling from the schedule<\/a> due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, Deadline<\/a> has reported that Universal Pictures and Illumination have given Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/strong><\/em> a new release date. With a one-year delay, the Minions<\/em> sequel\/Despicable Me<\/em> prequel is now scheduled for a July 2, 2021<\/strong> release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new release date takes over the date originally assigned for Illumination\u2019s other upcoming sequel Sing 2<\/em><\/strong>. That film is now assigned for December 22, 2021<\/strong>, currently sharing with Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s Hotel Transylvania 4<\/em>. Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date fits comfortable in tradition with the first Sing<\/em>\u2019s Christmas 2016 release, which now proceeds the sequel by five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence for Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date, Universal has pulled their original Christmas 2021 tentpole release Wicked<\/em> from their schedule. The adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical remains undated for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the current nationwide lockdown in France, the production of Illumination\u2019s movies have been drastically impacted with the temporary closure of their Paris-based animation unit Illumination Mac Guff. As a result, the unfinished Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> would miss its original Summer 2020 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new 2021 schedule, this will be the second time Illumination will release two features in one year. The first time was back in 2016 with the releases of the first Secret Life of Pets<\/em> and Sing<\/em> movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of writing, the current schedule sees Universal releasing a record six theatrical animated features in one year. In addition to Illumination\u2019s Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> and Sing 2<\/em>, DreamWorks Animation has three features in the 2021 lineup, with The Boss Baby 2<\/em>, a Spirit Riding Free<\/em> movie, and The Bad Guys<\/em>. Universal is also internationally distributing MGM's The Addams Family 2<\/em> as they have done with the first film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not even SpongeBob\u2019s newest big-screen adventure is safe from the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. Variety<\/a> reported that Paramount Pictures has delayed The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run<\/em><\/strong> amongst their other future releases.

Another change in the Paramount Pictures schedule was the studio's then-summer tentpole flick Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>. The Tom Cruise sequel has now been pushed back six months to December 23, 2020. Paramount's previously-assigned Christmas 2020 release The Tomorrow War<\/em> was pulled from the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks after pulling from the schedule<\/a> due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, Deadline<\/a> has reported that Universal Pictures and Illumination have given Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/strong><\/em> a new release date. With a one-year delay, the Minions<\/em> sequel\/Despicable Me<\/em> prequel is now scheduled for a July 2, 2021<\/strong> release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new release date takes over the date originally assigned for Illumination\u2019s other upcoming sequel Sing 2<\/em><\/strong>. That film is now assigned for December 22, 2021<\/strong>, currently sharing with Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s Hotel Transylvania 4<\/em>. Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date fits comfortable in tradition with the first Sing<\/em>\u2019s Christmas 2016 release, which now proceeds the sequel by five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence for Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date, Universal has pulled their original Christmas 2021 tentpole release Wicked<\/em> from their schedule. The adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical remains undated for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the current nationwide lockdown in France, the production of Illumination\u2019s movies have been drastically impacted with the temporary closure of their Paris-based animation unit Illumination Mac Guff. As a result, the unfinished Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> would miss its original Summer 2020 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new 2021 schedule, this will be the second time Illumination will release two features in one year. The first time was back in 2016 with the releases of the first Secret Life of Pets<\/em> and Sing<\/em> movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of writing, the current schedule sees Universal releasing a record six theatrical animated features in one year. In addition to Illumination\u2019s Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> and Sing 2<\/em>, DreamWorks Animation has three features in the 2021 lineup, with The Boss Baby 2<\/em>, a Spirit Riding Free<\/em> movie, and The Bad Guys<\/em>. Universal is also internationally distributing MGM's The Addams Family 2<\/em> as they have done with the first film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another change in the Paramount Pictures schedule was the studio's then-summer tentpole flick Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>. The Tom Cruise sequel has now been pushed back six months to December 23, 2020. Paramount's previously-assigned Christmas 2020 release The Tomorrow War<\/em> was pulled from the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks after pulling from the schedule<\/a> due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, Deadline<\/a> has reported that Universal Pictures and Illumination have given Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/strong><\/em> a new release date. With a one-year delay, the Minions<\/em> sequel\/Despicable Me<\/em> prequel is now scheduled for a July 2, 2021<\/strong> release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new release date takes over the date originally assigned for Illumination\u2019s other upcoming sequel Sing 2<\/em><\/strong>. That film is now assigned for December 22, 2021<\/strong>, currently sharing with Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s Hotel Transylvania 4<\/em>. Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date fits comfortable in tradition with the first Sing<\/em>\u2019s Christmas 2016 release, which now proceeds the sequel by five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence for Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date, Universal has pulled their original Christmas 2021 tentpole release Wicked<\/em> from their schedule. The adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical remains undated for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the current nationwide lockdown in France, the production of Illumination\u2019s movies have been drastically impacted with the temporary closure of their Paris-based animation unit Illumination Mac Guff. As a result, the unfinished Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> would miss its original Summer 2020 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new 2021 schedule, this will be the second time Illumination will release two features in one year. The first time was back in 2016 with the releases of the first Secret Life of Pets<\/em> and Sing<\/em> movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of writing, the current schedule sees Universal releasing a record six theatrical animated features in one year. In addition to Illumination\u2019s Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> and Sing 2<\/em>, DreamWorks Animation has three features in the 2021 lineup, with The Boss Baby 2<\/em>, a Spirit Riding Free<\/em> movie, and The Bad Guys<\/em>. Universal is also internationally distributing MGM's The Addams Family 2<\/em> as they have done with the first film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Walt Disney Studios has revealed<\/a> a new batch of film delays in response to the accelerating COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. Among those films in the schedule, the only animated feature affected so far is Bob's Burgers: The Movie<\/em><\/strong> from 20th Century Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the hit Fox animated sitcom, the big-screen adventure of Bob Belcher and his loving family was originally supposed to release on July 17 this year but has now been pushed back nine months to April 9, 2021<\/strong>. Considering the lack of advertising and press releases preceding its former date, this delay was rather expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob's Burgers<\/em> creator Loren Bouchard (who's also directing the movie) confirmed the film's delay through two Twitter responses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20th Century's two other animated features including Locksmith's Ron's Gone Wrong<\/em> and Blue Sky's Nimona<\/em> remain on the schedule unchanged. This also applies to all future Pixar and Disney Animation releases like Soul<\/em> and Raya and the Last Dragon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the live-action side Disney, the Mulan<\/em> remake has been optimistically rescheduled for July 24, 2020, while Jungle Cruise<\/em> has been pushed back a full year to July 30, 2021. 20th Century's Ryan Reynolds comedy Free Guy<\/em> got postponed to December 11, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Marvel Cinematic Universe also got its setback with their lineup of movies being delayed. Disney and Marvel hope to get the universe back on track with Black Widow rescheduled for November 6, 2020, and The Eternals moving to February 12, 2021, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more notably-affected movies is Disney's live-action science fantasy Artemis Fowl<\/em>, which was removed from its May 2020 theatrical release. Instead, it will be sent directly to Disney+ at an unspecified date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20th Century's The New Mutants<\/em>, Antlers<\/em>, and The Woman in the Window<\/em> remain undated after earlier been pulled from the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not even SpongeBob\u2019s newest big-screen adventure is safe from the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. Variety<\/a> reported that Paramount Pictures has delayed The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run<\/em><\/strong> amongst their other future releases.

While other animated releases have been pulled from schedule like Warner Bros.'

The new theatrical release will be July 31, 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed and written by early SpongeBob<\/em> writer Tim Hill, Sponge on the Run<\/em> is the third theatrical outing of Nickelodeon\u2019s hit series, and the first to be fully animated in CGI (provided by Mikros Image Canada). The new movie see\u2019s SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) on a road trip to rescue SpongeBob\u2019s \u201csnailnapped\u201d pet snail Gary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another change in the Paramount Pictures schedule was the studio's then-summer tentpole flick Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>. The Tom Cruise sequel has now been pushed back six months to December 23, 2020. Paramount's previously-assigned Christmas 2020 release The Tomorrow War<\/em> was pulled from the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Paramount has given a new date for A Quiet Place Part II<\/em>, which had its original March release pulled at the last minute. The anticipated horror sequel is now aiming for a September 4, 2020 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paramount Animation\u2019s other upcoming films like Rumble<\/em>, Luck<\/em>, Paw Patrol: The Movie<\/em>, and untitled My Little Pony<\/em> reboot film, and The Tiger's Apprentice<\/em>, currently have their release dates unchanged for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks after pulling from the schedule<\/a> due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, Deadline<\/a> has reported that Universal Pictures and Illumination have given Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/strong><\/em> a new release date. With a one-year delay, the Minions<\/em> sequel\/Despicable Me<\/em> prequel is now scheduled for a July 2, 2021<\/strong> release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new release date takes over the date originally assigned for Illumination\u2019s other upcoming sequel Sing 2<\/em><\/strong>. That film is now assigned for December 22, 2021<\/strong>, currently sharing with Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s Hotel Transylvania 4<\/em>. Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date fits comfortable in tradition with the first Sing<\/em>\u2019s Christmas 2016 release, which now proceeds the sequel by five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence for Sing 2<\/em>\u2019s new date, Universal has pulled their original Christmas 2021 tentpole release Wicked<\/em> from their schedule. The adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical remains undated for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the current nationwide lockdown in France, the production of Illumination\u2019s movies have been drastically impacted with the temporary closure of their Paris-based animation unit Illumination Mac Guff. As a result, the unfinished Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> would miss its original Summer 2020 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new 2021 schedule, this will be the second time Illumination will release two features in one year. The first time was back in 2016 with the releases of the first Secret Life of Pets<\/em> and Sing<\/em> movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of writing, the current schedule sees Universal releasing a record six theatrical animated features in one year. In addition to Illumination\u2019s Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/em> and Sing 2<\/em>, DreamWorks Animation has three features in the 2021 lineup, with The Boss Baby 2<\/em>, a Spirit Riding Free<\/em> movie, and The Bad Guys<\/em>. Universal is also internationally distributing MGM's The Addams Family 2<\/em> as they have done with the first film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
