Sequels to Top Gun, A Quiet Place,
Star Wars and Avatar again pushed back in release schedules, while Mulan joins Tenet in being ‘delayed indefinitely’
Hopes for a speedy substantial resurgence at the global
box office were dashed as
Disney and Paramount made substantial changes to their release schedules. Mulan, the live-action remake that had been scheduled to open in August after a string of delays, joins Christopher Nolan’s Tenet in being removed from the schedule entirely, pending a new date. Both films had been positioned as key titles to launch a summer revival in cinemas.
In a statement about Mulan’s move, Disney linked the change to fresh
Coronavirus spikes, leading many to suggest the studio was prioritising the US market over international territories, given that many of them are now back up and running.
