Disney stamped release dates Thursday on some of its biggest announcements from out of its D23 convention, most notably shifting “Haunted Mansion” from the spring of next year to now open in a prime summer 2023 slot on August 11, 2023, while also dating “Mufasa: The Lion King” for July 5, 2024.
Other dates were Taika Waititi’s “Next Goal Wins” for April 21, 2023, Pixar’s “Elio” for March 1, 2024, and Disney’s “Snow White” for March 22, 2024. Disney’s animated “Wish,” which was previously set for just 2023, will open Nov. 22, 2023.
The move also coincides with the removal of the “Star Wars” feature “Rogue Squadron” from the release slate, Patty Jenkins’ spinoff film that was originally meant to open December 2023.
