The BOB'S BURGERS Movie Is Still Set to Release in Theaters

Earlier this year, fans were supposed to be able to go to their local movie theaters and enjoy a Bob’s Burgers film on the silver screen. Sadly, a pandemic hit earlier this year in case you missed it, and the film industry has seen a bit of a hard time putting movies in theaters.

Many have instead gone straight to streaming services like Pixar’s Soul. Well, apparently, the Bob’s Burgers movie is still slated for a theatrical release. Director Loren Bouchard told EW that they still want this film on the big screen instead of going to a streaming service that would lead to a faster release.

We talked about [streaming] as it pertains to the movie and we decided we really want the movie to come out in theaters because Bob’s is already on TV. Of course, we want everyone to be able to safely see it in movie theaters. We don’t want anyone to put themselves at risk. But assuming there’s a point at which everyone can go back to theaters safely, we’re excited about Bob's the movie being seen in the theater, in the dark with other people, because that’s something we’ve never been able to do before. That’s the main course that we’re delivering to people, in this case.

I think that’s a fair way to look at the situation. I know that I’m still looking forward to seeing the Bob’s Burgers film in theaters at some point. The movie is currently slated for an April 9, 2021 release. Do you think that’ll be doable?
