It was a result of several release date changes for the 20th Century Fox movies. Ad Astra starring Brad Pitt was moved to September so it's closer to prestige film festival/awards swason, which also includes October's The Woman in the Window starring Amy Adams and November's Ford v. Ferrari starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon, not to mention the indie releases from Fox Searchlight.

So that means Spies in Disguise was dumped to Christmas, even if it means it will be consumed by Star Wars IX. They couldn't release it in October because of Maleficent 2, the new animated Addams Family movie and Gemini Man (also starring Will Smith), and they couldn't release it in November because of Frozen 2.
