15 Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed (And Why)

7. Untitled Laika Film

Laika Animation
Laika

Release Date: May 18, 2018

Why It's Doomed: It's pretty fishy that revered animation studio Laika apparently has a new movie due out in barely over six months and we still don't know what it's called or what it's about.

Animated films typically begin their marketing push pretty early, and with the studio's last movie Kubo and the Two Strings bombing at the box office despite incredible reviews, it perhaps suggests that they really need to blitz audiences with a PR offensive this time around.

No matter the film's actual quality, if it stubbornly sticks to that release date it's basically dead-on-arrival, coming just a week before Solo: A Star Wars Story and two weeks before Deadpool 2, both of which will effortlessly steal its thunder.

The best thing the film can do is move into a less-competitive slot, which given Laika's radio silence in recent months, will hopefully be on the cards.
