Trivia[]
Due to being released on the same day as 20th Century Fox's Breakthrough, this marks the first time Disney theatrically releases two films on the same day since the 3-D double feature theatrical reissues of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 back in 2009.
In addition to Disney's completed acquisition of 21st Century Fox (including 20th Century Fox) and further release date changes, it also marks the last time both a Disney film and a 20th Century Fox film have been theatrically released on the same day.
