Summer 2021 3D Movie Preview
Summer 2021 3D Movie Preview
Summer movie season is here.
So what 3D Movies could you expect to release in the summer of 2021 ?
Well this preview will give you details.
Editors Note:
The various release dates below are subject to change at any time. Furthermore 3D releases may vary region to region. Some local theaters may decide to not have 3D screenings of specific films. The Covid-19 pandemic is ongoing and your local theaters may or may not be open. COVID-19 is the biggest wild card in 2021 and it may cause more delays or more limited 3D releases. We are not 100% confident that all these movies below will be released in 3D. Since we are not 100% confident that every movie on this list will release in 3D we created a basic probability scale.
✅ Confirmed to have a 3D Release
🟦 High Probability
🟣 Medium Probability
🔶 Low Probability
Probability rates and release dates are only based for the United States 🇺🇸.
Some movies may release in 3D in locations outside of the United States and vice versa. The worldwide 3D movie business model is currently in flux as many different nations open up. Decisions on the 3D release of certain films may not be decided until release.

Cruella
Information:
“Cruella,” which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by two-time Oscar® winner Emma Thompson (“Howards End,” “Sense & Sensibility”). But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.
Is Cruella a 3D Movie ?
Our 3D Confidence Rating - 🔶 Low Probability
The last few Disney live action fairytale remakes have been released in 3D (Maleficent 1& 2, The Jungle Book, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast). That being said the trailer doesn’t specifically mention 3D. The official website and the movie poster don’t mention 3D either. Not all Disney live action movies have been released in 3D (Mary Poppins Returns, Christopher Robin, and Tomorrow Land). This is why we give this a low probability of 3D release.

Spirit Untamed
Information:
An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.
Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.
Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.
When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.
Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an Emmy-winning TV series. The screenplay is by Aury Wallington (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Spirit Riding Free) and Kristin Hahn (Dumplin’). The film is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned).
Is Spirit Untamed a 3D Movie ?
3D Confidence Rating - 🟦 High Probability
Dreamworks has a fantastic 3D track record with their animated movies. The last few major animated movies (How To Train Your Dragon The Hidden World , The Croods New Age, Boss Baby) were released in 3D. The trailer, official website, and poster not mentioning the 3D aspect of this movie. We still think that this movie has a high probability of releasing in 3D.
Peter Rabbit 2 The Runaway
Information:
In PETER RABBIT™ 2: THE RUNAWAY, the lovable rogue is back. Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated, but when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be.
Is Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway a 3D movie ?
3D Confidence Rating - 🔶 Low Probability
The 2018 Peter Rabbit movie wasn’t a 3D release in the United States. 3D is not mentioned in the trailer, poster or the official website. For all these reasons we think the probability that this movie will release in 3D is low.
F9 The Fast Saga
Information:
F9 is the ninth chapter in the Fast & Furious Saga, which has endured for two decades and has earned more than $5 billion around the world.
Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, the upcoming The Suicide Squad).
F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before.
The film stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel and Sung Kang, with Oscar ® winner Helen Mirren and Oscar ® winner Charlize Theron. F9 also features Grammy- winning superstar Cardi B as new franchise character Leysa, a woman with a connection to Dom’s past, and a cameo by Reggaeton sensation Ozuna.
F9 is produced by Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, Justin Lin, Clayton Townsend and Samantha Vincent.
Is F9 a 3D movie ?
3D Confidence Rating - 🔶 Low Probability
In the United States no Furious movie has released in 3D. The last Furious movie : Hobbs and Shaw was scheduled to release in 3D in the United States, but the 3D was pulled at the last moment. One interesting thing to note is that within the ‘stereo’ section of dneg.com it mentions F9. Dneg.com does many 3D movie conversions. So maybe F9 will get a 3D release but the probability is low.

The Boss Baby Family Business
Information:
In the sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s Oscar®-nominated blockbuster comedy, the Templeton brothers—Tim (James Marsden, X-Men franchise) and his Boss Baby little bro Ted (Alec Baldwin)—have become adults and drifted away from each other. Tim is now a married stay-at-home dad. Ted is a hedge fund CEO. But a new boss baby with a cutting-edge approach and a can-do attitude is about to bring them together again … and inspire a new family business.
Building on the success of the first film, which earned more than $500 million worldwide, The Boss Baby: Family Business is directed by returning filmmaker Tom McGrath and is produced by Jeff Hermann.

3D Confidence Rating - ✅ Confirmed to have a 3D Release

3D Confidence Rating - ✅ Confirmed to have a 3D Release
Before the covid-19 pandemic we saw trailers for Black Widow in 3D. Every Marvel movie released in the last 10 years has been released in 3D. We have no reasons to doubt that Black Widow will release in 3D.
Space Jam: A New Legacy
Information:
Welcome to the Jam! Basketball champion and global icon LeBron James goes on an epic adventure alongside timeless Tune Bugs Bunny with the animated/live-action event “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” from director Malcolm D. Lee and an innovative filmmaking team including Ryan Coogler and Maverick Carter.

When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before. It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life, that will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents and surprise even “King” James by playing the game their own way.
Is Space Jam New Legacy a 3D movie ?
3D Confidence Rating - 🟣 Medium Probability
Warner Bros has a great track record of releasing its family movies in 3D. Sadly 3D is not mentioned in the trailer, poster or the official website. For all those reasons we believe that Space Jam: A New legacy has a medium chance of releasing in 3D.

Jungle Cruise
Information:
Join fan favorites Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt for the adventure of a lifetime on Disney’s JUNGLE CRUISE, a rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance. Jaume Collet-Serra directs the film, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramirez and Jack Whitehall, with Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. John Davis, John Fox, Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia, Dany Garcia and Beau Flynn are the producers, with Scott Sheldon and Doug Merrifield serving as executive producers.

The Suicide Squad (2021)
Information:
Based on the DC comics “Suicide Squad” series. This is a sequel / reboot of the 2016 movie that is directed by James Gunn.
Is The Suicide Squad (2021) a 3D movie ?
3D Confidence Rating - 🔶 Low Probability
R-rated comic book movies have a poor track record of releasing in 3D (Dredd). The director James Gunn seems to like 3D and has used it in the two Guardians of the Galaxy movies. 3D is not mentioned in the trailer, poster or the official website. The probabilities for a 3D release of The Suicide Squad (2021) does’t look good. In fact they look so bad that a petition has already been created to release this in 3D via Change.com.
Free Guy
Information:
A bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way… before it is too late.
Is Free Guy a 3D movie ?
3D Confidence Rating - 🔶 Low Probability
This one is interesting. 3D is not mentioned in the trailer, poster or the official website. All that being said we have one trump card that gives us hope. Joe Hägg the 3D Producer/ Supervisor for Twentieth Century Fox has Free Guy in this current title on Linked In. Does this mean that Free Guy is a 3D movie ? Overall the possibility of this movie being released in 3D is low but there is a chance.

Is The Paw Patrol Movie a 3D movie ?
3D Confidence Rating - 🔶 Low Probability
The Paw Patrol franchise is geared toward little kids. Usually animated kids movies are released in 3D but when the movies are targeted for toddlers the 3D usually gets jettisoned. This movie probably has the lowest possibility of releasing in 3D of all the other summer 2021 movies.
Updated June 3rd:
Added trailer and poster for the Paw Patrol movie . I also edited the 3D confidence rating statement.
