It turns out the second installment of “Maleficent” is coming sooner than expected. Disney has announced “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” starring Angelina Jolie will hit theaters on October 18th, 2019, seven whole months before its previously announced release date of May 29th, 2020. Why? Because otherwise, it would have had to compete against big releases like “Fast & Furious 9” and “The Spongebob Movie.”
