From Mulan to Bond: Because of Corona, we have to wait longer for these films

It all started with James Bond in early March, and now the entire film industry is pulling the ripcord for the corona virus. More and more films will only find their way to the cinema much later, and in some cases not until next year. So far, the following productions have been affected.

On March 4, 007's official Instagram account announced that "No time to die" would not start in German cinemas on April 2 as initially planned. The postponement to November 12 was still described as a reaction to developments in the "global cinema market". It should have been immediately clear to everyone that this meant the fear of the corona virus and its health and economic consequences.

For a short while, it looked like only 007 with Daniel Craig (52) in the title role surrendered to the corona virus. But as exponentially as people are currently suffering from it, other film studios have also quickly given way. Walt Disney Studios canceled five film releases in one fell swoop: "In Germany, to deal with the current situation with the necessary caution, we will see 'Mulan', 'Lucy In The Sky', 'Downhill', 'The New Mutants' and 'Antlers' postpone, "says a press release. When the new cinema dates will be, you want to announce "at a later date". "Mulan" should have started on March 26th.

Cancellation only one week before the theatrical release

John Krasinski's (40) horror film "A Quiet Place 2" was hit even more quickly. The end timeline should have already started in the coming week (March 19), now it has also been postponed "in view of the current spread of the corona virus and the associated current travel and assembly regulations". The only new date is "later in the year".

Guaranteed no longer in 2020, PS fans will be able to enjoy the action blockbusters "Fast & Furious 9". Vin Diesel (52) and Co., which has now been officially announced, will only be on the slopes again in April 2021. Actually, the film should have hit the screen on May 21 of this year.

These films are also affected

Other films affected include the new film by Kristen Stewart (29), "Jean Seberg – Against All Enemies". Actually, she should have conquered the canvases as a 60s icon and American actress Jean Seberg from March 26, no new date has been announced here either. Same game in "Marie Curie – Element of Life" with Rosamund Pike (41) in the title role. Originally, the film about the scientist should have started on April 9th. "About Infinity", the winner of the Silver Lion at the last Venice Film Festival, will not be released until September 17th.

"Peter Hase 2" should hop into the cinema for Easter. Instead, he now has to make do with a start on July 30th. Other, relatively small transfers relate to other Sony productions: The superhero film "Morbius" will only be released on August 6 instead of July 30, and the submarine war film "Greyhound" with Tom Hanks (63) is now scheduled to appear on June 25 instead of May 7. The launch of "Ghostbusters: Legacy" has changed by a week – August 20 is now the new cinema date.

The biggest potential box office hit that still sticks to its original start date is "Black Widow" with Scarlett Johansson (35). At the moment the release on April 30th was not shaken, but it seems highly unlikely that a postponement will not be communicated here soon either.
