On what date was Shrek the Third released in the United States?

Shrek the Third was released in the United States on May 18, 2007.

The film is the third main animated Shrek feature. It follows Shrek as he searches for the reluctant heir to the throne after King Harold’s death. The story introduces Arthur Pendragon as a possible successor and places Shrek in a royal role he does not want.

Shrek the Third was produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Mike Mitchell directed the film, with Chris Miller serving as a co-director. The voice cast again included Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas.

The exact date is more specific than the commonly quoted year, 2007. International release schedules varied, so a question about the United States needs the country specified. This also distinguishes the film from Shrek Forever After, which arrived three years later.
