MacGruber is opening the same weekend as the fourth and final Shrek movie. MacGruber was initially slated to open on April 23. Will Forte’s comedy action hero will now grace screens on May 21, sharing its opening day with Shrek Forever After.
The news comes on the heels of some major developments for both features: Just last month, the behind MacGyver consulted attorneys in a bid to block the release of the upcoming SNL cinema spoof based on the 1980s TV series. And on Monday, DreamWorks announced that Manhattan’s ninth annual Tribeca Film Festival will open with the world premiere of Shrek Forever After on April 21.
