Production and Release
The film finished production by June 2009. It was scheduled for release on November 20, 2009 by Sony Pictures Worldwide via their TriStar Pictures division. In November 2007, TriStar Pictures had picked up the film's domestic distribution rights; the studio itself was to release the film in the summer of 2009. However, the film’s producers insisted on a November release. TriStar Pictures became the film's home after New Line Cinema became a division of Warner Bros.
Planet 51 is based on the original idea by Jorge Blanco, Marcos Martínez, Ignacio Pérez Dolset and Javier Abad.
