Universal and DreamWorks Animation announced Friday that their live-action take on the animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon" is moving from March 14, 2025, to June 13, 2025.
The theatrical release date changes due to the actors strike that is clocking 113 days.
Uni had the latter date already on hold on the release calendar. Any rivals out there, March 14, 2025 is now empty of any wide entries.
The adaptation‘s new date currently has an untitled Pixar movie on it.
The Live-action is written and directed by three-time Oscar nominee Dean DeBlois, who has written and directed the entire Dragon trilogy based on the bestselling books series by Cressida Cowell.
The new movie will be produced by three-time Oscar nominee Marc Platt (La La Land, Bridge of Spies), DeBlois and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (2 Guns, Drive).
The Dragon franchise have grossed more than $1.6 billion worldwide and nabbed four Oscar noms, and a Golden Globe win for "How to Train Your Dragon 2".
"How to Train Your Dragon" follows a hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons and becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself. The young lad learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed.
Universal also announced that it has an untitled event movie going on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
There are several untitled holds by major studios across the 2024 calendar.
It is yet to be seen whether those holds are real or whether they’re just temporary placeholders which will in and of themselves be moved.
