The 2019 film Spies in Disguise was near completion when Disney bough Fox so they allowed it to release while all the other in-development films, excluding Ice Age 6, were scrapped since Disney didn’t want another animation department competing with their previously existing ones. Production on the Patrick Osborne-directed Nimona, which is dated for January 14, 2022, is being stopped and the film will no longer be released, Deadline has learned. Through five movies, the Ice Age series grossed $3.2 billion at the global box office. How many movies did Ice Age make?įive theatrical films have been released in the series thus far: Ice Age in 2002, Ice Age: The Meltdown in 2006, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs in 2009, Ice Age: Continental Drift in 2012, and Ice Age: Collision Course in 2016. A standalone spin-off, titled The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, was released in 2022 on Disney+, while a sixth mainline film is currently in development. Ice Age: Collision Course was the final film in the Ice Age series to be produced by Blue Sky Studios before its closure on April 10, 2021. If everything works out in the development process, Ice Age 7 could be released in early 2025 or 2026 at the latest.

Animated movies tend to take a little longer to make than live-action and Ice Age movies have usually had three to four years between releases.
