On what date was WALL-E first released in the United States?

WALL-E was first released in the United States on June 27, 2008.

The date marks the film’s U.S. theatrical release by Walt Disney Pictures. It followed the film’s world premiere at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on June 23, so the premiere and the general American release are different milestones. The film opened in the United States and Canada on the same date.

WALL-E was Pixar’s ninth feature film and was directed by Andrew Stanton, who had previously directed Finding Nemo. Pixar paired the theatrical release with Presto, a short about a magician and his rabbit, continuing the studio’s long-running practice of presenting shorts before its features.

Some listings can cause confusion because they show festival, premiere, international, home-video, or soundtrack dates rather than the U.S. opening. The film later arrived on DVD and Blu-ray in November 2008, months after its theatrical debut.
