The War with Grandpa 2020
A 2020 American family comedy film, The War with Grandpa stars Oakes Fegley as a young boy engaged in a prank battle with his grandfather Robert De Niro. The story follows Peter's efforts to force his grandfather out of his room after moving in with the family. This project was directed by Tim Hill and features a screenplay written by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember, adapted from the novel by Robert Kimmel Smith. Supporting cast includes Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Laura Marano, Cheech Marin, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Walken.
Filmed in May 2017, the production faced delays due to photography adjustments and The Weinstein Company's closure. The film premiered theatrically in the United States on October 9, 2020 through 101 and Brookdale Studios. International releases began in August 2020 by Brookdale Studios. Critics responded negatively, and the movie earned $46 million globally despite a production cost of $38 million, resulting in financial failure.
