Next Shrek Delayed

Archive

Reuters reports that Shrek 3 has been pushed from November 2006 to May 2007. This move models the same release schedule as Shrek 2 and is expected to increase profits for the studio. This will also allow Shrek 3 to compete against whatever movie Pixar releases for that summer. 2007 will be the first time Pixar releases a movie on its own, as its deal with Walt Disney expires by then.

Other Dreamworks movies will also be affected. The new schedule includes Madagascar on May 27, 2005; Wallace & Gromit: Tale of the Were Rabbit on Oct. 7, 2005; Over the Hedge in May 2006; Flushed Away in fall 2006.
