‘Playmobil: The Movie’ Delayed To December 2019 US Release

 

STX Films is beginning to make name for themselves as creators of original animated films. Earlier this year, they released Uglydolls based on the the hit toy line as their first animated feature film. Uglydolls isn’t their only toy-based film,  as Playmobil will also be receiving an animated hybrid film from STX this year.

Originally produced by Open Road films for its U.S. release, the film was initially targeting a January 18th, 2019 release before being delayed a few more times. The film was on track for an August 30th 2019 release but now U.S. audiences will have to wait a bit longer.

Playmobil: The Movie has now been delayed to December 6th, 2019 for its United States release. However, the film will still be released on August 7th, 2019 in the European market due to the fact the film was distributed by Pathé and StudioCanal. This decision was made for STX due to avoid competition with Sony’s upcoming animated sequel, Angry Birds 2However, Playmobil might have an arguably more difficult time being released in December as not only is it coming out before major holiday releases, but Frozen 2 will be released just a couple of weeks prior. Only time will tell on whether or not Playmobil‘s feature film will be profitable in the U.S. considering the delays and competition it has.

Playmobil: The Movie is set for release December 6th, 2019.

Ryan Pineda: When it comes to film, animation, video games and other mediums, I can discuss for hours about how much on why certain films and animated media made me the person I am today. I adore the artistic merit that comes from a lot of pop-culture media and will definitely love to have a conversation about favorite movies any day! I have graduated in 2017 with a BA in Film and Television at the University of Arizona. Been passionate about writing about films due to always having an interesting outlook on the medium. Will always see a film and will definitely be sure to recommend it to someone that I know for a fact would love that movie. Not only that but will also give reasons for why I think that film did or did not work as a movie, and the same can go for other pieces of media like television, video games and especially animated projects.
