New Release Date Walt Disney Studios announced
the release of their ‘Maleficent’ sequel
has been pushed up to October 18, 2019. The movie has also been
renamed ‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.’ The fantasy adventure movie was previously

it against the release of ‘Fast & Furious 9’
and a new "SpongeBob" movie. Now, it will have to compete with the second weekends
of ‘Zombieland 2,’ ‘Gemini Man’ and ‘The Addams Family.’ Angelina Jolie is confirmed to reprise
her role as Maleficent, and will be joined by
costar Elle Fanning, who plays Aurora. The first ‘Maleficent’ opened in 2014
and grossed $758 million globally. The release change could have to do with the
debut of Disney’s streaming service, Disney+,
which is scheduled for the fall of 2019.
