Shrek 5 officially cancelled

Its been announced that Shrek is getting a reboot https://variety.com/2018/film/news/shrek-puss-in-boots-reboot-1203020785/ so change the name of Shrek 5 to Shrek(reboot)

Box office

I just edited the box office section of this article to reflect the new box office total of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The box office totals aren't adding up with the totals of the other movies. I don't know what I did wrong. Can someone please help me? Seinfeld429 (talk) 17:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore my last message. I fixed the section. The previous editor didn't update the box office total for Shrek 1. Seinfeld429 (talk) 17:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shrek 5 confirmed for May 20, 2023?

I have seen a few sources claiming that Shrek 5 will be released on May 20, 2023. Searching up Shrek 5 even yields results for this release date. However, there are other sources claiming that this is untrue. Blubabluba9990 (talk) (contribs) 01:34, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I accidentally hit publish too early, but there are several sources that list a release date of May 20, 2023 if one searches up "Shrek 5 May 20 2023" on Google. I want to make sure this is reliable before I add anything. Blubabluba9990 (talk) (contribs) 01:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shrek 5 will be released in July of 2026 according to this article from Variety. Leuchar55 (talk) 04:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And even that can still be pushed back and delayed. Over the years, we've heard multiple estimates that never panned out. This one sounds the most legit so far, of course, but until a film officially enters "production", anything can happen. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 02:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is true

Whitespace?

Is anyone else seeing a distressing amount of whitespace between the Films header and the proceeding table? Could we maybe put prose before the table so it's not just whitespace, or is there a technical solution here, assuming anyone else feels it's a concern? DonIago (talk) 15:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
