Update (4/14) - Boxoffice Pro is reporting that Paramount Pictures has pushed The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run back another week, and will now release the new SpongeBob SquarePants film in theatres on Friday, August 7, 2020.
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run was one of many movies that Paramount has had to adjust the release date for. You can find Paramount's latest release schedule on Deadline.
As we currently live in a unpredictable climate due to coronavirus, its important to note that the new July 31 release date could change at any moment. It could be moved even later, as Sony Pictures moved Ghostbusters: Afterlife to a March 21, 2021 debut from its July, 10 release. There is also a chance that the release could be moved forward. Deadline has been told that many titles are flexible for all movie studios, and can always be pulled up to an earlier opening in the calendar should the crisis clear up earlier than expected. Also, most of these titles remain in post-production.
From Media Play News:
Paramount Pictures, meanwhile, scrapped the April 3 theatrical release of The Lovebirds and offloaded it to SVOD service Netflix, and the studio fast-tracked theatrical release Sonic the Hedgehog for digital purchase starting March 31.
The studio also looked to non-new theatrical content to fill the pipeline.
“We are working creatively to ensure that there is a constant flow of fresh content for both consumers and retailers to fill the theatrical void,” said Bob Buchi, president of worldwide home entertainment at Paramount Pictures. “Fortunately, we have a robust schedule of television content from CBS, Showtime, Nickelodeon and Paramount; new theatrical releases from Saban; plus a wealth of catalog initiatives, including our new Paramount Presents line.”
