Dreamworks Animation’s Trolls World Tour is going where No Time to Die vacated: April 10. Originally the DWA pic, released via Universal, was to go April 17.
This is the first major studio move in the wake of MGM/Eon/Universal moving the global day and date release of the 25th 007 pic this morning, which Deadline exclusively broke. It also will ease fears among exhibition. While studios can sustain and weather marco shifts in their movie re-dates, having consistent product is the bread and butter for theaters. The DWA sequel is also sneaking for exhibitors at the studio-theater chain confab Cinemacon at the end of March.
