"We are thrilled to have The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run, a premier, first-run movie from one of ViacomCBS' biggest brands, join CBS All Access' expanding slate of franchise content from across ViacomCBS,” Marc DeBevoise, chief digital officer at ViacomCBS and president and CEO of ViacomCBS Digital, said in a statement to Variety.

It was most recently set for an August theatrical opening.Īll episodes of the animated series will also be available to stream on the ViacomCBS-owned subscription platform. The CG-animated kids' film will now arrive on premium digital rental services and CBS All Access in early 2021, Variety confirmed this afternoon. Acting on a coronavirus-era precedent set by its studio competitors, Paramount Pictures has decided to skip a theatrical release for The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: Sponge on the Run.
