Universal delays 'Minions: The Rise of Gru' to 2021, 'Wicked' likely pushed to 2022
"Minions: The Rise of Gru" is the sequel to the 2015 film, "Minions," and spin-off/prequel to the main "Despicable Me" film series. "Minions: The Rise of Gru" won't be coming to theaters until 2021. Moving "The Rise of Gru" to July 2, 2021 means that Universal has to move "Sing 2," which was set to be released on that day, to Dec. 22, 2021. Universal's announcement comes just days after Sony said it had delayed most of its 2020 features to be released in 2021. Universal also pushed "F9," its newest Fast and Furious film to 2021 in March.
