Good idea Smithy :love:

[Strictly Jake]

Aww I was wanting to take the kids to see peter rabbit. Oh well.

[Niamh.]

Aww I was wanting to take the kids to see peter rabbit. Oh well.

Probably best to stay out of cinemas for now anyway....

[LukeB]

I'm expecting Black Widow to be delayed soon :sad:

[Kate!]

Good thread idea.

Was looking forward to Bond and Peter Rabbit. Hopefully they are worth the wait. X

[Strictly Jake]

Probably best to stay out of cinemas for now anyway....

Are cinemas even that bad for germs though. I mean I get a bus every day surely thats worse and even supermarkets and petrol stations will be covered in germs

[Niamh.]

Are cinemas even that bad for germs though. I mean I get a bus every day surely thats worse and even supermarkets and petrol stations will be covered in germs

I mean it's not necessary to be in a cinema so I wouldn't go, you're going to be sitting on seats that countless other people have, it's an inclosed space etc. People have to use petrol stations/take buses atm

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah true!

I mean it's not necessary to be in a cinema so I wouldn't go, you're going to be sitting on seats that countless other people have, it's an inclosed space etc. People have use petrol stations/take buses atm

i think cinemas are cleaning the seats after the film, that's what i heard anyway

[Tom4784]

A lot of cinemas won't have many visitors tbh, probably safer in a cinema then you would be at your local supermarket.

[Toy Soldier]

A lot of cinemas won't have many visitors tbh, probably safer in a cinema then you would be at your local supermarket.True, but let's face it, the production companies aren't delaying as a spread-slowing tactic... They're delaying because they know that attendance numbers will be significantly down and it'll trash their box office takings.

[Josiah.]

F9 (Fast and Furious 9) has been delayed until 2 April 2021 worldwide.

[Smithy]

Fast & Furious 9 delayed too

[Saph]

not a whole year :skull:

[Saph]

this corona better be gone by summer.. I have too many plans

[Smithy]

The Lovebirds has been pushed back but no release date

[Tony Montana]

Mess @ a whole year delay. :skull:

[Tony Montana]

I'm expecting Black Widow to be delayed soon :sad:

I hope not. :worry:

[Nicky91]

just no more movie premieres like ever

just make it available to download

[arista]

ITV1 London was Live at Leicester Sq.
Showed no one going to the Cinema.

As a result many shows NOW
Half Price and not many going....................

[Twosugars]

I suggest watching Contagion while self-isolating :)

[arista]

No Nicky

Yes Great 2011 Film...........

It is. And done according to scientific advice so pretty accurate

[Smithy]

I watched it a few weeks ago and it was crazy how realistic it was

[Wizard.]

Lol they don’t care about people’s safety it’s cause they think the films will bomb

[Toy Soldier]

Lol they don’t care about people’s safety it’s cause they think the films will bombTo be fair though, with the budget some of these films are made on it doesn't even have to bomb... Just performing a significant margin under predictions can kill a studio/franchise these days, and take hundreds (sometimes thousands) of jobs with it.

People are quick to downplay economic damage as if "it doesn't matter" in terms of tackling Covid but the uncomfortable fact is, it's a balancing act. Major economic damage WILL cost lives.

[Smithy]

Mulan has been postponed too

[James]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes end scene.

5EyC3o4UsI0

[Smithy]

X-Men: New Mutants has been delayed (again)

[Smithy]

Should change the title to hourly the way things are going

[Marsh.]

I suggest watching Contagion while self-isolating :)

Switched that sh*t off as soon as Gwyneth Paltrow's head was split open. :yuk: I almost passed out.

Sorry to this woman but I do not want to see inside her skull.

[Twosugars]

It was a good film :fist:

[Tony Montana]

Antlers has also been delayed.

[Toy Soldier]

Surely everyone already has Netflix?

Disney will be creaming their pants at the idea of all of the schools being closed just as they're releasing Disney+ though. Someone should search Disneyworld for a secret virus lab :suspect:. I genuinely think it will generate a HUGE boost in sign-ups.

[Oliver_W]

Mulan and New Mutants are both probably gonna bomb anyway, may as well dump them on streaming...

[Smithy]

The Secret Garden has been pushed back too

[James]

I'm learning about films I didn't even know were due to be released.

[Smithy]

Same :joker:

[Tom4784]

Mulan and New Mutants are both probably gonna bomb anyway, may as well dump them on streaming...

Mulan was slated for the biggest opening so far this year before it was delayed, it'll probably still do the business wherever they put it (end of the year, I think).

I would not be surprised if New Mutants goes straight to streaming though, that film seems to be an albatross for Disney.

And it’s a disney film, disney films do great at the box office and all live action ones have all been a success.

didnt lion king flop? all I ever saw were people dragging it online :skull:

Critics didn’t like it but lion king did great at the box office
1.657 billion making it the second highest grossing film of 2019

[Oliver_W]

Lion King would have been a lot better if they just gave new visuals to the original soundtrack, none of the songs or performances in general in the remake are as good as the original.

I didn't know they were doing a Secret Garden, I loved the old movie when I was wee.

[Morgan.]

just no more movie premieres like ever

just make it available to download

:skull:

[Marsh.]

So, basically we're going to get a **** tonne of new movies all being pushed back to the last quarter of the year? :joker: That will affect their box office takings anyway.

[Smithy]

Production has now stopped on the new Jurassic World

[Mystic Mock]

I'm learning about films I didn't even know were due to be released.

Same here.:joker:

[Amy Jade]

Obviously tv shows but Riverdale has stopped production as somebody on the set has coronavirus and Survivor and The Amazing Race are on delay too.

[arista]

Thought this would be useful considering films are all getting pushed back

So far we have

No Time To Die - pushed back to November
Peter Rabbit 2 - pushed back to August
The Secret Garden - pushed back to August
Fast & Furious 9 - pushed back to April 2021
A Quiet Place Part 2 - tbc
Mulan - tbc
X-Men: New Mutants - tbc



Could the Title be Edited
for Films & TV delayed.....................................

Thats terrible


Good Job Westworld is all recorded

[Toy Soldier]

I'm just glad that it's unlikely to affect games releases, because you can even get it digitally and never even have to encounter another living human. Ahhh. Gamers; keeping entertainment virus-free since [whenever it was that digital downloads overtook physical sales]. I think it's only something like 20% of sales that are physical disks now. 18% is Sullen Girl.

[Smithy]

No TV show has been delayed so NO!

[Toy Soldier]

No TV show has been delayed so NO!

Hmmmm it's a different issue with TV though; they air as they film (or soon after) so while films are being pushed back due to box office concerns, TV shows could end up delayed if production is affected.

[Smithy]

Well if a tv show gets delayed I’ll change the title :idc:

[Toy Soldier]

Well if a tv show gets delayed I’ll change the title :idc:

No, Arista will make a new thread with a better title and this one will die of Covid.

I did read earlier that games like Last of Us 2 could be affected and that the launch of the PS5 will likely be delayed into 2021 but I imagine there's not much that could realistically delay the likes of Resident Evil 3 or VII Part 1 at this point.

[montblanc]

Euphoria's been delayed too

[Smithy]

Antlers has been delayed
Production on the Avatar sequels has been paused as well

[Tom4784]

Universal's bringing a bunch of films to streaming early as well as potentially releasing some films straight to streaming instead of in cinemas (think it's just the Trolls film for the moment)/

[Smithy]

Invisible man too!

[Tom4784]

Birds of Prey is also coming to streaming soon as well, it's a good film.

[Twosugars]

Another major casualty of the film calendar, Disney has delayed the release of Marvel film Black Widow, as well as The Woman In The Window and the US release of The Personal History Of David Copperfield. New dates have not yet been finalised.

[LukeB]

Black Widow :sad:

I predict they will give Black Widow The Eternals's spot and put The Eternals out next year.

[James]

I heard a comment that the order they release the Marvel films and TV is important with all the TV shows that are starting.

[arista]

Only a few hours late arista :pipe:

[Tony Montana]

It was bound to happen with BW but I'm still annoyed. :fist:

[James]

There's a cinema near me still open.

I was a bit surprised.

[Tom4784]

It'll be interesting to see if any other studios follow Universal's lead and how that'll affect cinemas after the outbreak ends. If people get used too watching the latest releases at home and they sell well then I can see studios begin to cut cinemas out of the equation all together.

[Toy Soldier]

If people get used too watching the latest releases at home and they sell well then I can see studios begin to cut cinemas out of the equation all together.I can definitely see streaming starting to come faster - maybe movies "theatre exclusive" for a month then immediately available on "premium" streaming. But I think that's been on the cards for a while now anyway, the delay between cinema and home release has been getting shorter and shorter.

[LukeB]

I wonder if Wonder Woman will be delayed.

[Tom4784]

Onward will be released on demand today and will be on Disney + by April 3rd.

Not an unexpected development, but surprising all the same.

[Smithy]

Wonder Woman and In The Heights have been delayed indefinitely

[Toy Soldier]

Onward will be released on demand today and will be on Disney + by April 3rd.

Not an unexpected development, but surprising all the same.On Disney+ just as part of the package? That is a surprise as it won't even count towards box office like premium streaming. I guess they're sacrificing it's solo profits as a lure for Disney+ subs instead. Probably a good call, business wise.

[Tony Montana]

Oh ffs not Wonder Woman! :fist:

[Oliver_W]

Shame about WW84, WW and Shazam are the only tolerable DC movies (BvS and JL are guily pleasures:D) so I'm sad about WW84, and also Black Adam + Shazam 2 will probably never happen at this point...

[Amy Jade]

Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Marvel’s Morbius pushed back to 2021

https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3611072/breaking-sony-pushes-ghostbusters-afterlife-morbius-march-2021/

[Tom4784]

I think there will be a few major films that go straight to on demand before the year's over. There's too many films and not enough weekends to release all of 2020's content in 2021.

[Amy Jade]

I wouldnt be shocked if New Mutants was put on VOD or streaming straight away

[Samm]

the 2021 film award shows next year are going to be interesting :skull:

[Tom4784]

I wouldnt be shocked if New Mutants was put on VOD or streaming straight away

I'm surprised that Disney even gave it a release date in the first place, I think a lot of people expected it to become a Disney+ film when Fox was taken over.

[Amy Jade]

I'm surprised that Disney even gave it a release date in the first place, I think a lot of people expected it to become a Disney+ film when Fox was taken over.

Yeah I expected that, I'll wait and see if a directors cut appears because Disney+ will cut ut to ribbons to make it kid friendly

[arista]

There's a cinema near me still open.

I was a bit surprised.

How Nice

[James]

How Nice

It's closed now.

[Tony Montana]

Gutted! I was so looking forward to Morbius and Ghostbusters.

[GoldHeart]

I can't remember if i've said this already , but it's so weird how everything is delayed and put on hold. everything just STOPS it's so surreal :skull: . So many things have been cancelled this year but what can we do .

[arista]

Gutted! I was so looking forward to Morbius and Ghostbusters.

But you want these Old Actors to stay Alive
though

Avatar 2

Looks like will also be Delayed because of Killer Covid 19

[Like every other major film in production right now,
Avatar 2 paused shooting in response
to the coronavirus pandemic this past week.
Of course, unlike a lot of the other tentpoles that
are currently shut down,
Cameron's sequel is just as much a
CGI-animated project as it is a live-action one.
For that reason, it will be able to continue moving forward,
even while live-action photography is on hold.]

Sing 2, Minions 2 have all been pushed back and Wicked has been delayed indefinitely

Yes good idea.

[Nicky91]

yes heard about Minions 2 just now on our local radio, now scheduled for 2021

Top Gun 2 has been pushed back till xmas

[Tony Montana]

I didn't even know there was a Top Gun 2. :o

Black Widow is now coming out in November, every other marvel film has been pushed back because of it

[Smithy]

Mulan is now July 24 but I don’t see it somehow

[Tom4784]

I can see them opting for streaming with Mulan. Given that people avoided Corona beer just because of it's name, a lot of idiots will take issue with Mulan because it's a chinese story, plus racists love to try to justify their racism.

[Nick.]

This would make although I expect Disney want it to do well at the Chinese box office.

Also the Artemis Fowl film ($125 million budget) is heading straight to Disney+

[Smithy]

Disney’s Soul has been pushed back as has Raya and the Last Dragon

I hope it's only a loose adaptation, the book was terrible but then again the first film was a rare case in which the film was better than the book, I thought. The characters in the books are insufferable.

Trolls World Tour has apparently had a $90m release on download, far surpassing the cinema release of the original film. It's a bit of a game changing performance.

Expect studios to follow in their footsteps and forgo the cinema when it comes to non-tentpole releases until all this is over.

Vue is much better

Heard whispers ages ago that they were not setting it as far in the future as Find Me so I guess it will be quite different. Apparently in the movie Elio will be around 5 years older than CMBYN rather than double his age in the Find Me book. Luca Guadagnino has heavily hinted Dakota Johnson will play Oliver's wife and their meeting place will be Paris.

I forgot to message you also, after reading the book, the movie is vastly superior. I was quite shocked by how little I enjoyed the book actually but James Ivory really cut diamond from stone.

Damn, this could completely change the film industry, why bother releasing in cinemas if you gross more at home?

[Oliver_W]

Mulan probably won't do that well tbh - the remakes of Lion King and Lady & the Tramp were both a bit rubbish compared to their originals, so that might cause people to not bother with future ones? Also, the movie has apparently cut the songs, Mushu, and the hot guy. What's the point in it now?

[Marsh.]

At least Mulan seems like a somewhat original adaptation, The Lion King was a pointless almost shot for shot remake. If you're going to redo a story/movie, do it differently.

Eh, I'd probably sooner forgo Hollywood's version and watch the film (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1308138/)or TV series (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0972658/?ref_=tt_sims_tt)which were actually by Asian filmmakers...

That's your prerogative but not really the point.

[Smithy]

This would make although I expect Disney want it to do well at the Chinese box office.

Also the Artemis Fowl film ($125 million budget) is heading straight to Disney+

Artemis Fowl has the date of June 12 now

I think October is better for Batman, looking forward to it.

I might give Scoob a watch, I used to love the cartoons.

[Mystic Mock]

I can see them opting for streaming with Mulan. Given that people avoided Corona beer just because of it's name, a lot of idiots will take issue with Mulan because it's a chinese story, plus racists love to try to justify their racism.

Poor Corona Beer.:bawling:

Being serious though I do agree with you that Mulan will get a lot of hate because of the setting.

Jurassic World Dominion producers hope for middle of July to resume production, filming

same as what i said in it's thread on here

one might also think, almost everyone of cast are in isolation in the US then (given Sam Neill is from new zealand, and they are keen on not letting anyone in or out for a while longer despite no more cases in the country)

of course i would still find it understandable to isolate cast, crew somewhere distanced from society and mostly skype, facetime contacts only with just need to know information if everything is ok etc

Avatar 2/3/4 ??

They’re being released on alternate years with the new star wars

[Marsh.]

ANOTHER Star Wars???

[Oliver_W]

saaaaake, just let Star Wars die! Well, keep making Mandalorian and the Kenobi series, but the movies are crap.

[Marsh.]

Wait, there's 4 Avatar sequels? :eek:

[Marsh.]

I don't like them discussing release schedules that far in advance it gives me the hebejebes to be discussing the late 2020's like they're here. :worry:

[Oliver_W]

I'd be interested to see what they could do with Avatar. The "world" it set up is fairly cool, maybe it could be an Anthology series about the world, with different stories and characters for each?

[Marsh.]

Judging by the cast lists, the sequels are keeping the same main characters for each.

[Smithy]

ANOTHER Star Wars???

Another 3 - it’s a new trilogy/unrelated to the sky walker lot

[Smithy]

I think I remember reading somewhere each sequel is set in a different part of Pandora but with the same cast, the second one is predominantly underwater

[Marsh.]

Yikes.

That poor cast spending decades making these movies. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

[Oliver_W]

Hm, that could work. Ender's Game has little to do with the three books that follow it, maybe Avatar will be the same.

Halloween Kills Pushed to 2021, Candyman and The Forever Purge Also Postponed, Halloween ends pushed to 2022

Mess, it sounds like they were in post-production for Halloween Kills before the virus hit. It was supposed to be out in 3 months.

[Tony Montana]

**** sake I was so looking forward to HK.

[Smithy]

FINALLY updated the OP and I’ll just say what we’re all thinking - why are they making 2 more mission impossible films

[Smithy]

Also why are they making a Tom & Jerry film

[LukeB]

Black Widow will be out October 28, 2020 in the UK and November 6 everywhere else.

[Smithy]

Yeah the list was from a US site, but if you think I’m redoing it all with UK dates you can think again :joker:

[James]

Was listening to a podcast and they were saying the respective studios are going to consider putting Black Widow and Wonder Woman 1984 on at-home video on demand if the cinemas are closed too long.

They are worried about them messing up their schedules for future films if the keep delaying them.

I don’t get why more Studios aren’t doing this tbh, that Trolls film broke records doing it.

[James]

They'd probably charge £14-16 to watch each of those films at home.

I don't think I'd bother at that price.

[Smithy]

That’s pretty much the price of a cinema ticket though isn’t it? And if you’re watching with another person you’re already saving money especially because you don’t have to pay through the nose for food and that

[James]

I paid £7.75 to see Spider-Man: Far from Home at a midnight screening last July. Star Wars was £8.75.

My local cinema seems to be cheaper for some reason.

[Smithy]

Is it a chain or an independent one?

[James]

Odeon.

[LukeB]

Odeon.

I thought odeon was £5 or is your one a luxe?

[James]

I thought odeon was £5 or is your one a luxe?

Some other films I saw were £5. The bigger blockbusters cost more I think, on opening night.

[Smithy]

Odeon.

Oh, whenever I go home ours is a Vue and it’s like £10/£11 :umm2: daylight bloody robbery :fist:

The cinema in Guernsey (as **** as it is) is only like £6 a ticket

[Smithy]

A Quiet Place: Part II and Top Gun: Maverick have been delayed to 2021. :/

[Smithy]

Mulan has also been delayed indefinitely

[Smithy]

1308934447211966466

I’m guessing this means Mulan didn’t do as well as expected on D+ bc otherwise they’d have stuck with that release strategy

[Tom4784]

Ah, I heard that it did better than Tenet so I was expecting BW to come out on D+
