In a bold move, Sony has booked a 2021 Christmas release date for Hotel Transylvania 4.
The CG-animated pic will open Dec. 22, opposite Universal’s Wicked and less than a week after Avatar 3 unfurls on Dec. 17.
Featuring Adam Sandler as Count Dracula, the Hotel Transylvania franchise has earned north of $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office.
The last installment, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, grossed a series-best $528.6 million following its release in July 2018, including $167.5 million domestically and $361.1 million internationally.
The first two films debuted in September of their respective years, making Hotel Transylvania 4‘s year-end release date a marked departure for the family-film franchise.
