‘Shrek 5’ Pushed to December 2026, ‘Minions 3’ Moves Up to July 2026
Universal Pictures has shifted release dates for 'Shrek 5' and 'Minions 3,' dating both blockbuster animated franchises for 2026.
Beginning with 2001’s “Shrek” (which won the first Oscar for best animated feature), the four “Shrek” films have earned more than $2.9 billion worldwide, spawning a global live-touring show and an award-winning Broadway musical that earned eight Tony nominations and 12 Drama Desk nominations, as well as an immersive tourist destination in London and attractions across Universal Studios Parks. Returning to produce are Gina Shay (who produced “Shrek Forever After” as well as the “Trolls” movies) and Illumination founder and CEO and Academy Award-nominee Chris Meledandri (who is also behind the “Despicable Me” and “Minions” franchises, as well as “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Sing” and “Secret Life of Pets” films). More than 10 years since the highlighter-yellow critters and their supervillain boss Gru debuted, the “Despicable Me” and “Minions” movies have grossed nearly $5 billion at the global box office.
