Escape Room 2 Scares Up New, Earlier Than Expected Summer Release Date
Sony Pictures has decided to bump up the release of Escape Room 2 by a full six months.
Escape Room 2 is coming to a movie theater near you much sooner than expected. Sony Pictures has opted to bump up the release of the upcoming horror sequel by a full six months. It will now arrive smack dab in the middle of July, putting it right in the heart of the summer movie season, something that was virtually nonexistent in 2020. But that looks to change this year and Sony is trying to get a possible hit on the books sooner rather than later.

“Escape Room 2” has moved up its release to July.
The sequel to the 2019 psychological thriller will now debut on July 16, 2021, nearly six months earlier than its planned release date of Jan. 7, 2022.
With the box office beginning to revive after the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s possible that “Escape Room 2” moved up in the schedule to compete within the summer blockbuster timeframe. The first “Escape Room” was a hit at the box office, earning $155 million. “Godzilla vs. Kong” recently raked in the largest box office gross during the pandemic with $31 million, and this past weekend featured a fierce box office battle between “Mortal Kombat” and “Demon Slayer,” signaling to the industry that moviegoers are certainly eager to return to theaters.
