'The Lego Batman Movie' gets release date

Warner Bros has unveiled its master plan for its upcoming Lego movies, staking out release dates for the next three movies in the franchise.

The Lego Batman Movie, which, at this stage, is untitled, will be the first new Lego movie out of the gate and will open February 10, 2017. The date hews closely to the February 7, 2014, opening of “The Lego Movie”.

Also in 2017, on September 22, “Ninjago” will hit theaters. The date represents a shift for the movie, which originally was eyeing a release in fall 2016.

Finally, The Lego Movie Sequel — yes, that is the title — will open May 18, 2018. 

“These three films already in the pipeline are just the beginning of a creative and diverse animation slate that will be delighting audiences for years to come,” said Dan Fellman, the studio's domestic distribution president.
