Lionsgate has today updated its release schedule, setting the Zac Efron and Robert De Niro comedy Dirty Grandpa for release on December 25, 2015
Dan Mazer directs Dirty Grandpa from a script by John Phillips. In the film, an uptight guy is, right before his wedding, tricked into driving his foul-mouthed grandfather, a former Army general, to Florida for spring break. Barry Josephson, Bill Block and Michael Simkin are producing.
The Christmas Day release has Dirty Grandpa opening opposite David O. Russell’s Joy (starring Jennifer Lawrence), Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible 5 (starring Tom Cruise) and, in limited release, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu’s The Revenant.
