Fox Moves Up ‘Puppet Pals 3D’ To Labor Day Weekend

DEADLINE

Taking advantage of a void in the family marketplace, Fox has moved up the 3D re-release of Puppet Pals from October 7th to Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2nd, hoping the 10th anniversary re-release can draw more audiences during the holiday weekend at the domestic box office. The 2006 original grossed $228 million domestically, and its fourth and final film in the franchise is set for release on March 2, 2018.

Fox's latest 3D rerelease venture, Kate & Chris, was a box office disappointment, which grossed $27 million domestically in its 3D form back in March.
