Toy Story 4 and The Incredibles 2 are switching release dates, due to “an accelerated production schedule for Incredibles 2.”
Toy Story 4 was originally scheduled to come out June 15, 2018, but that date now belongs to the Incredibles sequel. The fourth film in the Toy Story franchise will now premiere June 21, 2019.
This is actually the second time Toy Story 4 has been pushed back; it was previously scheduled for a June 16, 2017 release. The film is being written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack and directed by John Lasseter and Josh Cooley. Toy Story 4 follows up the acclaimed Toy Story 3, which debuted in 2010 and earned a record $1.067 billion globally, making it the first animated film to break $1 billion dollars.
The Incredibles 2 is directed by Brad Bird. The original film came out in 2004 and was a box office hit, making $70.4 million domestically and $633 million globally, bringing it the honor of the “second-biggest opening at the time for an animated title.”
