The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run Release Date Gets Delayed

Sorry SpongeBob fans: the upcoming movie SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run has become the latest films to have its release delayed by the Coronavirus Pandemic. Now here's the good news: Paramount Pictures has only delayed Sponge on the Run by a little bit! The new SpongeBob movie was supposed to open on July 31st; it will now open and August 7th. It seems that in Hollywood's ever-changing estimate on how long the COVID-19 outbreak will last, the current projection for theater chains re-opening their doors is late-July or August. However, the question still remains if people will truly be ready to return to the old theatrical model.

Paramount has announced the following changes to its release calendar:

THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE ON THE RUN, previously scheduled for 7/31/20, is now 8/7/20.

INFINITE, previously scheduled for8/7/20, is now 5/28/21.#SpongeBob #SpongeBobMovie
