‘Ice Age 5′ Gets Title, Date Change; Weinstein Co. Adjusts ‘About Ray’
Twentieth Century Fox has moved Ice Age: Collision Course, the newly christened fifth chapter of its Blue Sky animated franchise, from July 15 to July 22, 2016. This will shift Sid, Manny, Ellie and company off their previous collision course with Sony’s Ghostbusters and two other pictures, the musical La La Land from Lionsgate and The Lake from EuropaCorp. For the time being, Ice Age: Collision Course is sharing its new date with one other title, Warner Bros’ King Arthur. Denis Leary, Ray Romano, Queen Latifah, John Leguizamo and the rest of the gang are back for this go-round, and Collision Course is directed by Mike Thurmeier and Galen T. Chu.
In other changes, The Weinstein Company has scaled to moderate its release of the female-to-male transgender drama About Ray on September 18, 2015, and Underdogs is off the schedule for now. About Ray, previously known as Three Generations, is directed by Gaby Dellal and stars Elle Fanning as the title character, Naomi Watts as Ray’s mother, Susan Sarandon as the grandmother, and Tate Donovan as a former boyfriend of Watts’ character. TWC has also pulled its animated title Underdogs off next weekend’s schedule and has not yet set a new date.
