The War with Grandpa Movie Storyline. Sixth-grader Peter (Oakes Fegley) is pretty much your average kid-he likes gaming, hanging with his friends and his beloved pair of Air Jordans. But when his recently widowed grandfather Ed (Robert De Niro) moves in with Peter’s family, the boy is forced to give up his most prized possession of all, his bedroom. Unwilling to let such an injustice stand, Peter devises a series of increasingly elaborate pranks to drive out the interloper, but Grandpa Ed won’t go without a fight. Soon, the friendly combatants are engaged in an all-out war with side-splitting consequences.
The War with Grandpa is a 2020 American family comedy film directed by Tim Hill, from a screenplay by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember, based upon the novel of the same name by Robert Kimmel Smith. It stars Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Oakes Fegley, Cheech Marin, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Walken. It is scheduled to be released on October 9, 2020, by 101 Studios and Brookdale Studios.
The War with Grandpa was initially scheduled to be released on February 23, 2018, by The Weinstein Company’s Dimension Films; however, just a month prior to its release, it was pulled from the schedule. It was then scheduled to be released on April 21, 2018, which was later pushed back to October 20, 2018, due to principal photography location changes. In March 2018, it was announced The Weinstein Company would no longer distribute the film, and its rights were reclaimed by the producers. In June 2020, 101 Studios acquired distribution rights to the film and set it for a September 18, 2020 release; it was later delayed until October 9.
