Disney delays blockbuster films due to COVID-19 pandemic

'Mulan, ' initially scheduled to be released in March of this year, has been postponed several times over as most USA cinemas remain closed.

Mulan, the twice-delayed live-action reimagining of a Disney animated movie, is now delayed indefinitely.

"Avatar 2" was supposed to start filming this summer, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production.

Crew members for the Avatar film were granted an exemption to New Zealand's border restrictions earlier this year, allowed to enter and film the blockbuster.

The projected third, fourth and fifth installments of the sci-fi saga are now looking at release dates in December of 2024, 2026 and 2028 respectively, according to CNBC. But with scores of film delays and theaters being far from re-opening as the health crisis researchers in the USA, that's looking more and more unlikely. "That work is just as critical to films as the live action work", he explained. So while we now have to wait an extra year for Avatar 2, Cameron promises that the end result "will deliver".

United Kingdom failed to investigate Russian Federation over Brexit
The gambit failed when a renegade Conservative was chosen to head the committee with backing from opposition parties. But the allegations are raising questions about the extent of Russian influence on British society.

With a new Avatar or Star Wars movie arriving every year starting in 2022, it looks like Disney aims to dominate the holiday box office season for the next decade.

It seems that Disney has now taken the film off its slate indefinitely, with no word on when or how the film will one day be released. Kenneth Branagh's Death on the Nile has been shifted two weeks to October 23, 2020, and The Empty Man has been moved from August to December 4, 2020.

Tenet, the Christopher Nolan film meant to usher in a renewed age of movie-going, has had multiple optimistic release dates previously proposed.

Disney also pushed back a stream of other releases.

"Mulan" was scheduled to reach theaters in March but its release has been postponed several times as many movie theaters remain closed to help keep the novel coronavirus from spreading. "Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theater partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen". "Unfortunately, due to the impact that the pandemic has had on our schedule it is no longer possible for us to make that date", Cameron said.
