20th Century Studios has locked in July 23, 2027 for "The Simpsons 2," bumping a Marvel film from the slot. The animated sequel takes over the summer spot previously reserved for an untitled Marvel movie. The first Simpsons movie - released in 2007 - blew past expectations, pulling in $536 million at the box office on a $75 million budget. It broke records for animated movie openings and TV show adaptations, landing at number eight worldwide that year. The TV show keeps breaking records as the longest-running animated series and sitcom ever.
