You’re going to be waiting a full year longer to see the Minions on screen once again. After pulling Minions: The Rise of Gru from its July 3rd 2020 date due to theater closures, Universal has decided to move (via THR) the animated sequel all the way to July 2nd 2021.
The decision is interesting because Universal made a completely different choice when it comes to Trolls World Tour, which they decided would go straight to streaming later this month.
So a move like this causes a domino effect. The July 2nd date now occupied by Minions had been for Sing 2. Now that animated musical has been shuffled to December 22nd 2021. However, that date belonged to the adaptation of Broadway musical, Wicked, which has now been pulled off the schedule entirely.
