Unfortunately, we have quite a while to wait before this animated movie hits the big screen.
But this should keep the movie from having to compete with Aquaman, Mary Poppins Returns and the animated Spider-Man movie.
Currently a date is set for November 9, 2018, so we’ll actually be getting the flick closer to Thanksgiving than the bigger holiday.
There’s really only one good window to release a movie themed around Christmas, and Illumination plans to wait until next holiday season to put its big release out.
