Due to the delays in animated physical production, Paramount is pushing two movies, while moving one title up.
Spin Master
Spinmaster’s threequel Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie which was previously set for July 31, 2026 will move up a week to July 24 next year. Pic moves away from Sony and Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day with Tom Holland, and onto a weekend where it’s up against New Line’s Evil Dead sequel.
Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender which was set for Jan. 30, 2026 moves to Oct. 9, 2026. Aang takes over the slot previously owned by Paramount’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem which now heads to Sept. 17, 2027.
Aang on its new fall date is up against a Universal Blumhouse movie. Director Lauren Montgomery and co-director William Mata’s movie follows Aang and his friends who are now young adults several years after the events of the ending of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Point Grey’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 is being helmed by Jeff Rowe, Yashar Kassai and Kyler Spears. Donnie, Raph, Leo, and Mikey are back for their next adventure with Master Splinter, the Mutants, April, and a new villain they have to face: The Shredder. The 2023 animated movie minted close to $182M worldwide in a strike-impacted box office and netted Paramount a near estimated $205M profit after all global home entertainment, streaming and TV ancillaries. TMNT retail product cleared $1 billion in 2023 alone as Paramount revitalized the brand under studio boss Brian Robbins.
