More changes have been made to the summer blockbuster season as Paramount Pictures has delayed upcoming sci-fi action movie Infinite from August 7th, 2020 to Memorial Day weekend 2021 (May 28th).
Starring Mark Wahlberg and Chiwetel Ejiofor, director Antoine Fuqua and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's adaptation of the D. Eric Maikranz novel The Reincarnationist Papers has been kept relatively secret thus far, though a teaser was supposed to be shown during SXSW and footage was expected to premiere at CinemaCon.
Unfortunately, both of those events were cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In more release date news, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run has been hit by a very slight delay as it's moved from July 31st, 2020, to August 7th, 2020. Yes, it's still coming out this year, so unless something drastic happens between now and then, that's not too bad.
It also has little competition that weekend and will only compete with 20th Century's The Empty Man, a thriller from director David Prior. The summer blockbuster season is essentially M.I.A. at this point, but Paramount could cash in if The SpongeBob Movie arrives in August.
Oh, and in related animated news, Deadline has confirmed that the highly anticipated Bob's Burgers movie has now been dated for April 9th, 2021.
Which of these movies are you guys most excited to watch in theaters?
