A third theatrical film has been announced for 2026, just days before Spin Master/Paramount/Nickelodeon’s PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie debuts with a chance at No. 1 and $20M.
With a first weekend of $13.1M, a domestic final of $40.1M, and a global total of $144.3M, the long-running preschool franchise, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary, saw its first theatrical release under Paramount (and Elevation Pictures in Canada) open during the pandemic.
The third animated movie will once again be directed by seasoned animator Cal Brunker (PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, PAW Patrol: The Movie, and Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature). The movie will be produced by Toni Stevens, SVP Entertainment Production & Operations at Spin Master Entertainment, Laura Clunie, SVP Development Current Series & Feature Film at Spin Master, and Jennifer Dodge, President of Spin Master Entertainment. Executive producing will be Ronnen Harary, a co-founder of Spin Master.
Taraji P. Henson, Kristen Bell, Christian Convery, Brice Gonzalez, Mckenna Grace, Lil Rel Howery, Alan Kim, Finn Lee-Epp, James Marsden, Chris Rock, Serena Williams, North West, and Saint West are among the voice actors who appear in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, the second feature film. Kim Kardashian, Marsai Martin, and Ron Pardo from the first film also return, as do other voice actors from the preschool series.
According to Jennifer Dodge, president of Spin Master Entertainment, “PAW Patrol has entertained generations of preschoolers while subtly teaching them the value of community, inclusiveness and teamwork.” “On the cusp of the premiere of our second, super-powered film, the universal love for our pups is stronger than ever. We’re thrilled to announce a third feature film, expanding the PAW Patrol universe further with an epic new adventure. Featuring action-packed missions and exploring new terrains, this movie will be larger-than-life and once again show how small paws can make big prints.”
Said Ramsey Naito, President of Paramount Animation & Nickelodeon Animation, “PAW Patrol remains in a class of its own as a beloved and recognizable cultural touchstone for kids and families everywhere. Alongside our partners at Spin Master, we are so excited to continue to bring these pups’ big screen adventures to PAW Patrol’s legion of fans around the world.”
Elevation Pictures will also release the third film in Canada.
Spin Master founders Ronnen Harary, Anton Rabie, and Ben Varadi will be inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame at the TOTY Awards ceremony, which will take place this weekend to coincide with the second movie’s theatrical debut.
