Find out The LEGO Movie 2 release date and the rest of the calendar shuffling after the jump.
Originally slated for May 18, 2018, Warner Bros. has pushed back The LEGO Movie 2 all the way to February 8, 2019. That’s a big delay, and there’s no reason given for the shift. But The LEGO Movie debuted around the same time back in 2014, and there will be very little competition for the sequel during that month. It puts the film in a much better position for box office number than having an early summer release just before all the blockbusters arrive. The good news is you can still get your LEGO fix next year with The LEGO Batman Movie on February 10, 2017 and Ninjago on September 17, 2017.
In addition, Variety reveals Geostorm starring Gerard Butler has been delayed yet again, this time all the way back to October 20, 2017. It was previously slated for a release this fall, got pushed back to January of 2017, and now it’s been pushed another nine months. Again, no reason was given for the delay.
Finally, the studio has also pushed back the comedy Bastards, starring Ed Helms and Owen Wilson. The film was originally set to arrive on November 4 this year, but has been pushed to January 27, 2017 instead. That doesn’t bode well for the comedy, but maybe the release will put the movie in a better position at the box office.
