Paramount's Musical 'Cats' Pushed a Year to Christmas 2017
As part of the shuffling, Paramount relocates ' Clifford The Big Red Dog ' to Christmas 2018, while pulling Warner Brother's Animation 'The Billion Brick Race ' from the schedule.

Paramount has made several key changes to its release calendar, unfortunately, even pushing back musical movie  'Cats' starring Robert Fairchild as Munkustrap, Mette Towley as Jemima, Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella and Ian McKellen as Gus The Theatre Cat, from December 25th, 2016 to December 25th, 2017.

And this also means that the CGI live-action film  'Clifford The Big Red Dog' will open on Christmas Day in 2018. The film is based on the beloved children's book by Norman Bridwell, and Emily Elizabeth and Clifford the Big Red Dog go on this incredible adventure together. It makes sense for Paramount to shift Clifford The Big Red Dog since Fox/Blue Sky Studios opens Ferdinand on November 18th, 2016, and 20th Century Fox Animation Studios Film releases Betty Boop: The Movie on December 15th, 2017 the next year after that.

It's likely that Cats directed by Tom Hooper, is being relocated in order to accommodate the casting, and also the next upcoming musical of Summit's La La Land now dated for a December 25th, 2016 release and directed by Damien Chazelle.

Paramount also dated three new films, including Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron comedy Baywatch, which will hit theaters May 26th, 2017. Johnson stars as Mitch Buchannon the lifeguard. The plot is about Mitch Buchannon and his team, who is an effort to save their beach have to take down a drug lord.

American Christmas Comedy film,  'Office Christmas Party directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, 'will open in cinemas on December 9th, 2016.

On January 13th, 2017 Paramount will unfurl Monster Trucks directed by '''Chris Wedge. '''From Paramount Animation and produced by Disruption Entertainment and Nickelodeon Movies, the film stars Lucas Tills, Jane Levy, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Danny Glover, Barry Pepper and Holt McCallany, and follows a high schooler who finds an escaped monster living in his truck.

Monday's shuffling also involved two titles from Chris McKay's Warner Brothers Animation, The LEGO Batman Movie has been scheduled to open on January 13th, 2017, but now moves to February 10th, 2017, but now moves to May 26th, 2017 a date previously belonging to Warner Brother's Animation's ''The Billion Brick Race. Warner Brothers Animation hasn't announced a new date for The Billion Brick Race.''
