The effects go beyond Marvel:
Disney has pushed back movies across its release slate because of disruptions from the new coronavirus.
Now, Artemis Fowl, a sci-fi fantasy, will skip theater completely. Disney said a new release date for the film is coming later, replacing its previous May 29, 2020 theatrical release date.
The studio’s live-action remake of Mulan has been pushed to July 24, and its latest Jungle Cruise flick has been delayed until June 20, 2021.
For now, Pixar’s Soul is still set for June 20, which is likely to be adjusted given that the coronavirus containment measures are sure to still be in place in many parts of the world by then.
Bottom line: Disney’s changes underscore how disruptive the pandemic will be to Hollywood studio’s meticulously planned cycles.
With that said, Hollywood is facing the grim reality that the world isn’t likely to return to normal anytime soon, studios are starting to send smaller-budget films straight to online sales and rentals.
