'Dynamic Duo' & Untitled 'Gremlins' Head To Fall 2028 Amid WB Release Date Changes

Key Points:

• Warner Bros has shifted the release date of the DC animated film Dynamic Duo from June 30, 2028, to September 22, 2028, aiming to target a back-to-school audience including K-12, teens, and college students, and to avoid clashing with Paramount’s Call of Duty movie.
• The untitled Gremlins movie directed by Chris Columbus has moved from November 19, 2027, to October 6, 2028, a date Warner Bros associates with successful releases like Joker, with no Paramount competition on either date.
• Dynamic Duo is the first collaboration between DC Studios and Warner Bros Pictures Animation, featuring a voice cast including Mason Thames, Logan Kim, Lee Pace, and Steve Buscemi, and focuses on the origins of Robins Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.
• The Gremlins sequel is being produced by Amblin Entertainment and 26th Street Pictures, with a screenplay draft by Hannah Marks and a team including Columbus, Zach Lipovsky, and Adam B. Stein; Steven Spielberg is executive producing.
• The animation studio Swaybox, based in New Orleans and led by Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson, is producing Dynamic Duo, with Mintz directing and Matthew Aldrich scripting.
