Here Are All the Movies Delayed Because of the Coronavirus — With Some New Release Dates

Movie studios are scrambling to shift large chunks of their film release slates in response to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent cinema closures. (Or, now in some states and other parts of the world, gradual cinema re-openings. Thanks, Tenet!) China made the decision to shut down movie theaters and theme parks as far back as January in an effort to contain the virus, and prominent production companies have also closed down indefinitely. While many smaller films that had day-and-date theatrical and on-demand debuts are proceeding with the digital parts of those releases, huge tentpole movies out of Marvel and The Fast saga, to name just a few, are either moving to 2021 or being delayed indefinitely. With that in mind, here is a guide to the movies that have been delayed so far because of COVID-19, with new release dates listed where available.
