Production
After the release of Ice Age: Continental Drift, John Leguizamo, the voice of Sid, said of the fifth installment in the Ice Age franchise: "It sounds like they’re working on something. So hopefully the answer is YES, but I cannot say for sure."[11]
On December 20, 2013, 20th Century Fox scheduled Ice Age 5 for July 15, 2016.[12] A promotional poster, shown in June 2015, at the Licensing Expo, revealed the film's full title: Ice Age: Collision Course.[13] In August 2015, the film was postponed by one week to July 22, 2016, to avoid competition with Ghostbusters, La La Land and The Lake, all scheduled for July 15.[2]
