LIVE UPDATES: Every New Movie Delayed due to Coronavirus Last updated on March 12 2020 by Cooper Smith

The World Health Organization has finally labelled the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, as a pandemic. There are more than 120,000 confirmed cases around the world, and movie release dates are getting postponed because of this. So which upcoming films are being pushed back to a later date? Read on to find out all of the major movie release delays so far.

People don't want to go to a movie theatre when a virus is rampant. There is some logic behind it. Many people packed in a tight room, arm to arm, for sometimes 2-3 hours. COVID-19 will prove to be a challenge to any films that don't reschedule to later dates. Audiences will show up, but in very low numbers. Fear of getting the virus will keep most people from going to the movies, even if it's a fill they enjoy. Box office numbers will be low. So just like many concerts, events, or even sports leagues, films are getting postponed to a later date. The question is: which ones?

No Time to Die

The 25th James Bond film, the final 007 movie for Daniel Craig's version of the character, was one of the first major blockbusters to shift release dates due to the Coronavirus. The day it was planned to hit theatres was moved from April 10, 2020, to November 25, 2020.

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway

Peter Rabbit: The Runaway is the sequel to the hit live action/CGI movie, Peter Rabbit. Based on the classic, beloved book series, The Runaway isn't looking too bad, filmwise. Scheduled originally for April 3, 2020, its new date of release is August 7.

Fast and Furious 9

The ninth Fast and Furious film has been pushed back. Really far. An entire year, the biggest time change yet. F9's first release date had been May 21, 2020. Now it has been moved to April, 2021. This means that F10 will probably have to shift as well. So be prepared for waiting on those two.

My Spy

My Spy's scheduling has been rocky and is familiar with being shifted around. First, it was supposed to hit theatres in August 2019. The new release date became March 13, 2020. Now, very recently, STX has delayed the film to April 17, 2020.

A Quiet Place Part II

A Quiet Place Part II has been receiving rave reviews. Not officially out yet, only few very people have actually seen the film. But now it's being moved to a later date. Originally planned for March 20, the new release is TBD (To Be Decided). This means it could come out this summer, this fall, or next year. No one knows yet.

Mulan (2020)

Mulan (2020), the live action remake of the Disney animated classic, Mulan, has been postponed as well. At first, its release date was going to be March 27, 2020. But new information has come to light, and Disney is moving that film, with the new schedule TBD.

New Mutants

New Mutants, which has been infamous for its release date changes, now is being delayed too. Fans have been waiting for this film to finally come out for years! Now, it's being pushed back once more. New Mutants was supposed to have released April 3, 2020, and is now moved to a later date.

What Other Movies Will?

The problem with pushing films back due to Coronavirus, is this: who knows if it will be gone by the time your movie's new release rolls around? Maybe they will have to delay it again!

This article will keep on updating, so check back for new information. Right now, there are upcoming movies like Trolls: World Tour, and possibly even Black Widow. The choice to switch release dates is a smart and safe one. It is likely that for however long COVID-19 lasts, movies will flop. And flop hard.
