What happens

Ice Age: Collision Course is a 2016 American animated adventure comedy film produced by 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios. It is the fifth installment in the Ice Age film series, following Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012). In the film, when Scrat is propelled into outer space in an abandoned spaceship during an attempt to bury his acorn and accidentally sends a giant asteroid towards Earth, the Herd and Buck go on a mission to find a way to fend it off. The film was directed by Michael Thurmeier, and written by Michael Wilson, Michael Berg, and Yoni Brenner. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Josh Peck, Simon Pegg, Seann William Scott, Jennifer Lopez and Queen Latifah reprise their roles from the previous films, with Jessie J and Adam DeVine joining the cast. Ice Age: Collision Course premiered at the Sydney Film Festival on June 19, 2016, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 22 by 20th Century Fox. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $408 million against a $105 million production budget. While the film was deemed a disappointment at the domestic box-office, it performed better internationally. A spin-off film, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, was released in 2022, while a further sequel, Ice Age: Boiling Point, is scheduled to be released in 2027. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
