Fans are asking if SpongeBob SquarePants Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie has been leaked and are also curious about whether the film will be coming to theaters. Here is everything you need to know.
Has SpongeBob SquarePants Saving Bikini Bottom leaked?
Yes, SpongeBob SquarePants Saving Bikini Bottom has been leaked.
The entire SpongeBob SquarePants Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks movie leaked on X (formerly Twitter) on January 21, 2024. Most accounts that had the leaked movie on their pages have faced a copyright strike from Paramount Global save for one user by the name of Indicator.
The cause of the leak has been supposedly linked to a networking mistake from last year when Pipeline Studios had their entire file server opened to the public for a while, during which the movie was uploaded onto Twitter where it remained for 5 hours before being taken out in response to a report from Paramount Global. However, one user had reuploaded the video to Twitter and it remains there as of publishing.
Will the SpongeBob SquarePants Saving Bikini Bottom movie be coming to theaters?
SpongeBob SquarePants Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie will not come to theaters and will instead stream on Netflix sometime in 2024 as of writing.
The reason for the film coming to Netflix is because of the deal Nickelodeon (who own the rights to the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise) made with the streaming giant in 2020, wherein all upcoming projects from Nickelodeon or involving them (such as the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series) would make their way onto Netflix.
The story of SpongeBob SquarePants Saving Bikini Bottom will see SpongeBob and Sandy Cheeks join forces to reclaim Bikini Bottom and their friends Patrick, Squidward, and the rest of the gang after they are stolen from the ocean by a new mysterious enemy.
In entertainment elsewhere, here are the posters for the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series which will hit Netflix. Also, Jacob Elordi has theorized the Euphoria Season 3 time jump.
