Plans for a live-action film adaptation of ''Dumbo'' were announced in 2014, and Burton was confirmed as director in March 2015. Most of the cast signed on for the feature in March 2017 and [[principal photography]] lasted from July to November 2017 in England. It was the first of five live-action adaptations of prior animated Disney films released in 2019, along with ''[[Aladdin (2019 film)|Aladdin]]'', ''[[The Lion King (2019 film)|The Lion King]]'', ''[[Maleficent: Mistress of Evil]]'', and ''[[Lady and the Tramp (2019 film)|Lady and the Tramp]]''.
''Dumbo'' premiered in [[Los Angeles]] on March 11, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 29, 2019. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who were mainly critical of its unfamiliarity with the original feature. It grossed $353 million worldwide against a $170 million budget.<ref name="Erik Childress">{{cite news|url=https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/weekend-box-office-results-shazam-smashes-expectations-with-53-5-million-opening/|title=Weekend Box Office Results: Shazam!
