What was the original release date of Pixar's Cars 3 in the United States?

Pixar's Cars 3 was originally released in the United States on June 16, 2017.

The film is the third feature in Pixar's Cars series and follows Lightning McQueen as he confronts the rise of younger, technologically advanced racers. Its story returns more directly to racing and training after the international spy focus of Cars 2.

Cars 3 was directed by Brian Fee in his feature-directing debut. Owen Wilson returned as the voice of Lightning McQueen, while Cristela Alonzo joined the main cast as Cruz Ramirez.

The date is sometimes confused with the release dates of the earlier films: Cars opened in 2006 and Cars 2 opened in 2011. June 16, 2017 refers to the United States theatrical release, not the film's later home-media dates.
