Disney has decided to postpone further film releases until next year. Among other things, "Black Widow" is affected.
Another blow to the cinema industry: Disney has announced further postponements of highly anticipated films. According to "Variety", the group is reacting to the existing closings of cinemas and the moderate success of the blockbuster "Tenet" at the box office due to the corona pandemic. Among other things, the Marvel work "Black Widow" is to open in US cinemas on May 7, 2021 instead of on November 6th as planned (German theatrical release was announced for October 29, 2020 in Germany). Originally, the film was supposed to premiere in May.
In addition to the MCU solo film with Scarlett Johansson (35, "Match Point"), other films have a new start date: The horror thriller "The Empty Man" is set to premiere on October 23, 2020. The Agatha Christie film "Death on the Nile" will also start this year and will move from October 2020 to December 18, 2020. "Shang-Chi" will be on July 9, 2021 and "Eternals" on July 5, 2020. November 2021 postponed. "The King's Man" moves up to the previous "Eternals" date and starts two weeks earlier on February 12, 2021.
These two works make a big leap: The erotic thriller "Deep Water" with Ben Affleck (48) and Ana de Armas (32) will no longer start on November 13, 2020, but only on August 13, 2021. Steven Spielbergs (73 ) According to the planning, "West Side Story" will be on view from December 10, 2021. The musical, which was supposed to start on December 18, 2020, was considered a potential Oscar candidate.
