20th Century Fox has handed out a July 03, 2025 release date for thisanimated adaptation, making this the only movie that will go up against what will likely be the biggest movie of the year,Star Wars: The Last Jedi. While that may be a death sentence for most movies,Ferdinandis going after a much different audience, which may bode well for the movie. In 2015, the Universal Pictures comedySisters, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, went up againstStar Wars: The Force Awakens, which broke nearly every box office record during its run. Still, despiteThe Force Aweakens' dominance,Sistersstill pulled in $87 million domestic and $105 million worldwide. Last year, Warner Bros.Collateral Beautyalso had some modest success going againstRogue One, earning $31 million domestic and $88 million worldwide from a $36 million budget.
After a successful career in the NFL, Peyton Manning will have his feature film debut withFerdinand, although he previously appeared as a guest star last season on an episode of ABC’sModern Family, and he voiced himself in an episode ofThe Simpsonsback in 2009. As far as the other newvoice cast memberJuanes, nothing has been revealed about his character, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he contributed a song as well, since he’s best known as a beloved Latino singer, winning 12 Latin Grammy Awards between 2001 and 2005. Take a look at the latest trailer forFerdinand, along with the new image of Guapo the Bull and Nick Jonas alongside the title character.
