Paramount has set a July 16, 2027 release date for its Alexandre Aja-directed Crawl sequel, while Heart Eyes 2 will shift a week from February 11, 2028 to February 4, 2028.
The follow-up to 2019’s alligator movie Crawl, which grossed close to $92 million, stars Mason Gooding and Emily Rudd in a new survival story against the reptiles. The original movie was set during a hurricane that creates a massive flood — with alligators.
Producers are Craig Flores, Sam Raimi and Aja. Gregory Levasseur, Kevan Van Thompson and Zainab Azizi are executive producers.
Paramount already had the mid-July date on hold. Crawl 2 will be up against Sony’s Fake Skating and also bows the week after Warner Bros/DC’s Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow.
A Spyglass co-production, Heart Eyes 2 is now up against Universal’s Murder, She Wrote, and has moved away from a Disney event film on February 11. Josh Ruben directs and co-wrote with Darcy Fowler from a story by Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy. Producers are Landon and Divide/Conquer.
