- ‘Fast 9’ takes its premiere date a month later than expected
- Minions movie delayed a year
- Both sagas have made billions at the global box office
Finally Universal has changed the theatrical release dates of two of its heavyweights: ‘Fast and Furious 9’ and ‘Minions: The Origin of Gru’. The ninth installment of the Vin Diesel saga will not be available on May 28, but on June 25. For its part, the Minions movie will arrive on July 1, 2022 instead of July 2.
The change of ‘F9’ is due to how the market situation is. For now, while theaters in New York have opened, those in Los Angeles are expected to reopen in the near future as coronavirus cases decline and vaccines increase in the city. There is a chance that foreign markets will improve during the pandemic, that F9 may begin its journey to theaters abroad earlier than in the United States. Nonetheless, Universal is trying to have as many markets as possible for ‘Full Gas’ delivery at once.
In this way, F9 leaves behind Cruella and the movie of Mark Wahlberg, ‘Infinite’, scheduled for May 28. In its new date, ‘F9’ faces ‘Blue Bayou’, from Focus Features and ‘Venom: there will be carnage’, which may change the opening day.
Universal has released two ‘F9’ trailers in the last two Super Bowls, and that’s due to the release date change due to the pandemic. The ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise has made more than $ 5 billion worldwide.
As for Minions, it is the most profitable saga for Universal, hence the great change in its premiere date. Gru’s films – along with the Minions – four titles in all, have grossed more than 3.7 billion in theaters internationally.
