Movie release dates are changing again, but this time studios are not re-scheduling yet!
ADVERTISMENT
Cinema Closed
It was going to happen sooner or later, with the huge spike in the COVID-19 pandemic hitting a majority of America the movie studios are starting to shift release dates again with Christopher Nolan's Tenet loosing its August 12th release.

Tenet

The more interesting aspect here is that Warner Bros. have not given it a new release date, this is the third time it has shifted date and they are clearly not going to give it a new date until things have settled.

The new movie was meant to be the start of the movie theatre re-opening and the film which would get the public going to the cinema again.

Sony have also shifted the date of Broken Hearts Gallery, and similarly have not given the movie a new release date yet.

Warner Bros. have announced that they will most likely release Tenet staggered around the world, the UK is starting to fully open and box office charts are starting to appear and France's top movie last weekend took over a million dollar at the box office, something not seen for a while.

Australia and New Zealand have also been vigilant at controlling the virus and have been producing box office charts through the whole pandemic.

Mulan

Disney have Milan set for 21st August and Bill & Ted Face The Music is just around the corner with a release date of 14th August, A Quiet Place Part II also has a date at the start of September, these are all big films which will, most likely, get release date shifts.

The lead is mainly from the US which may not see cinemas open properly this year so maybe we are going to go back to the '90 where America would get most films before the rest of the world, but in reverse!
