‘Minions: Rise of Gru,’ ‘Sing 2’ Release Dates Pushed Back, ‘Wicked’ Indefinitely Delayed1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteUniversal Pictures is shaking up its release calendar, setting new dates for Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru and Sing 2.
The Minions sequel will now hit theatres next summer, on 2 July, 2021. Sing 2, originally set to open on that date, has been pushed to 22 Dec, 2021, leaving Wicked, an adaptation of the Broadway musical, undated.
Last week, Universal announced that Minions: The Rise of Gru would be delayed because Illumination had to close its studios in France. As a result, post-production work would not be completed by the its 3 July 2020, release. But even if Minions: The Rise of Gru was ready for the big screen in time, there’s a chance that cinemas across the country will still be shuttered well into summer.
