Disney Adjusts Release Dates for Pixar’s 'Elio,' James L. Brooks’ 'Ella McCay,' and Sam Raimi’s 'Send Help'

Pixar's 'Elio' shifts to June 20, 2025, to avoid competition, while 'Ella McCay' and 'Send Help' secure fall 2025 and early 2026 release dates respectively.

Pixar's animated film 'Elio' moves from June 13, 2025, to June 20, 2025, to avoid clashing with Universal's live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon.'
The new release date for 'Elio' places it against Sony's adult-skewing zombie thriller '28 Years Later.'
James L. Brooks’ dramedy 'Ella McCay,' starring Emma Mackey as a young politician, is scheduled for release on September 19, 2025, aiming for potential awards season attention.
Sam Raimi’s survival thriller 'Send Help,' featuring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, is set to debut on January 30, 2026, and will compete with Paramount's animated film 'Aang: The Last Airbender.'
Disney also adjusted its slate by removing and adding untitled projects, including a newly scheduled release on October 24, 2025.
