As
we reported on 032720 (see below) Hollywood has had to reshuffle their release
schedule for upcoming films due to the Corvid-19 outbreak. Among the Studios
hardest hit has been Disney and their slate of theatrical, streaming and cable
movie and TV productions. The Mouse House has recently announced an update
release calendar for the next two years amid the corona virus pandemic. The
animated feature “Artemis Fowl” is now headed directly to Disney+ rather than
going with their original late May theatrical release. “French Dispatch” is also
being pushed to October. Their live-action “Mulan,” originally set for March,
will now open on the July 24th weekend. Disney had set its “Jungle Cruise” film
for that July 24th weekend but has now pushed that Dwayne Johnson and Emily
Blunt-led film back by a full year to July 30th 2021. Other delayed titles like
“The Personal History of David Copperfield,” “Antlers,” “Woman in the Window”
and “The New Mutants” all remain in release limbo an undated. Marvel is moving
all its films down by one slot each starting with “Black Widow” taking the
“Eternals” slot, “Eternals” taking the “Shang-Chi” slot and so forth. The Marvel
release slate is now:
November 6th 2020: “Black Widow”
February 12th 2021: “Eternals”
May 7th 2021: “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Rings”
November 5th 2021: “Doctor Strange 2”
February 18th 2022: “Thor: Love And Thunder”
May 6th 2022: “Black Panther 2”
July 8th 2022: “Captain Marvel 2”
Because of the ongoing uncertainty, release dates could be shifted forward and
back again if needed. The future is uncertain across the board.
