According to star Jane Seymour, some of The War with Grandpa's cast lied about their fitness levels so they could take part in the movie's dodgeball sequence. The family comedy stars movie veterans Robert De Niro, Cheech Marin, and Christopher Walken, among others. De Niro plays the title grandpa, Ed, who faces a battle with his grandson, Peter (Oakes Fegley), after moving into his room. Seymour co-stars as Diane, a store worker who eventually begins a relationship with Ed, while Marin and Walken play his two friends. All three help Ed in his war against Peter. 4782o

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and it always prompts a slew of festive-themed films to celebrate the special occasion. Despite the year that it has been, 2020 is thankfully no different, with a range of seasonal movies for the whole family to enjoy.

Tenet is no longer the #1 movie at the U.S. box office as The War with Grandpa takes its place. Christopher Nolan's Tenet faced a long and bumpy road to the box office, being delayed multiple times since its initial July release before finally hitting theaters in September. The film ended up grossing a meager $10 million in its three-day opening weekend. Performing exceptionally well internationally, Tenet crossed the $300 million mark at the global box office in early October. However, with only $45 million from the U.S., Tenet's underperformance at the box office influenced many studios to push their major films' release dates back to late 2020 and early 2021.

When families fight, often the biggest victims are the children. But in The War With Grandpa, which will be out in theaters on October 9, it is the child who will become an instigator. Oakes Fegley plays Peter, the young boy who will not give his bedroom up to his grandfather regardless of the cost.

Things can go awry quite easily when family is forced together, as new film The War With Grandpa can attest to when it arrives in theaters on October 9. When the newly widowed Ed (Robert De Niro) moves into his daughter's home, he commandeers his grandson's son and accidentally sets off metaphorical minefield in the once-peaceful home.

Kids often get up to the darndest things in family comedies, but the grown-ups aren’t that much better behaved in The War With Grandpa. The film, which arrives in theaters on October 9, follows widower Ed (Robert De Niro) as he wages a battle against his grandson for the right to his bedroom.

Long-awaited blockbusters Tenet and New Mutants underperformed at the box office, so what will be the next big movie theater release? It's an undeniably tense time for film fans right now, with the worldwide coronavirus pandemic threatening to make the traditional cinema-going experience a thing of the past. The industry goliath Disney is reacting to low theater turnout and paltry box office receipts by pulling back its movie release dates across the board, with Black Widow, Eternals, and West Side Story all being delayed.

The trailer for the new family comedy, The War With Grandpa, sees Robert De Niro battle his sixth-grade grandson. The end of 2019 saw Hollywood legend Robert De Niro return to his roots in back to back dramatic roles in Joker, and his reunion with Martin Scorsese for The Irishman. However, as 2020 nears its end, De Niro will return to something audiences have become quite familiar with seeing him in over the last twenty years, and that’s an over the top comedy. The War With Grandpa, which is based on the 1984 novel of the same name by Robert Kimmel Smith, tells the story of Peter’s Grandpa moving in with his family, but when Peter’s forced out of his bedroom, he has to declare war on his Grandpa.
