'Elio', Next 'Spider-Man' Have Week Moves

Movies on the move it’s a very little move, an abduction and a swing

I’m seeing a lot of movement in these parts. Last Friday, Disney moved the upcoming Pixar film Elio a week later, from June 13 to June 20. This evening, Sony moved the next Tom Holland Spider-Man movie a week later, from July 24 to July 31.

This moves Elio off of one of Pixar’s typical placements, one that paid off last year in particular as Inside Out 2 sparked a run that made it the highest-grossing American animated film there, recently dethroned as the global top grosser. By moving to the next week, it avoids a direct opening faceoff with the live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake, now facing it in its second week. It’s now opening up against 28 Years Later, which does not have a child audience. It also gives the Lilo & Stitch remake, which hasn’t had an official full trailer with three months until release, an extra week on its own. There’s been a beach teaser, a history-honoring teaser that hijacked Mufasa: The Lion King, and a Super Bowl spot featuring Stitch-only chaos on a football field. Still, there is no official trailer depicting anyone else or anything in the film. There still isn’t another animated family film for four weeks, with Smurfs on July 18, which is that week between Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Next 'Spider-Man' Movie Gets Destin Daniel Cretton To Direct, 2026 Release Date

But that wasn’t the only move Disney made, much to the benefit of their 20th Century Studios output. The James L. Brooks-directed dramedy Ella McCay has been dated September 9, 2025. It’s the Simpsons co-creator’s first directing and writing effort since 2010’s How Do You Know. It stars Woody Harrelson and Rebecca Hall and follows an idealistic young politician who juggles their personal and professional lives while preparing to succeed her mentor the state’s longtime incumbent, as governor. The Sam Raimi horror Send Help starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, has been given a January 30, 2026 release date. The plot goes, according to its logline, that after a plane crash strands a capable female employee and her annoying boss on a remote island, she finds it’s up to her to keep them both alive, despite their challenging relationship. Disney had nearby flags on September 12 and January 16 that have been removed, but there’s now one on October 24.

As for the next Spider-Man movie, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, it’s moving off of Marvel’s new favorite weekend (occupied by Deadpool & Wolverine last year and the aforementioned First Steps this year) so stars Tom Holland and Zendaya can get away from themselves. Christopher Nolan returns post-Oppenheimer with an adaptation of the Greek epic The Odyssey led by Matt Damon as Odysseus. It is scheduled for July 17, which means, until Friday, it was going to be Holland and Coleman together back-to-back. Now the films are two weeks apart, giving two weeks of IMAX occupation before Spidey can get some. The new Spider-Man film now opens up directly against Paw Patrol 3, and at the moment doesn’t have nearly the amount of confirmed cast The Odyssey does, which includes Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Mia Goth, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Charlize Theron, Elliot Page, and John Leguizamo.
