Warner Bros. has pushed back the release date of “Lego Movie 2” from May 18, 2018 to February 8, 2019.
Although there was no explanation accompanying the date movement for the sequel to the massive 2014 original hit movie, the possibility of some LEGO-themed movie backlog and/or overload as Warner has two LEGO-themed movies currently scheduled for release next year with “The LEGO Batman Movie” currently scheduled for a February 10, 2017 release date and the “Ninjago” movie currently scheduled for a September 17, 2017 release date.
Warner Bros.’ switching of the sequel to the February date in 2019 also matches up with the same February weekend the original LEGO movie opened in 2014.
