When the release of "James Bond 007: No Time to Die" was postponed from early April to mid-November, James Bond fans shocked Martini. Coronavirus is of course the culprit, and it now holds the world firmly. This is not just a precautionary measure aimed at preventing viewers from becoming infected in a crowded movie theater.
Instead, film studios set their sights on China, which is one of the most important film markets. In China, due to the influence of the corona virus, social life has basically stopped. MGM and Universal Pictures are now more willing to invest millions of dollars in advertising costs already on the beach and postpone the issuance of bonds without having to give up all Chinese revenue.
But is Bond just the beginning? This is possible because particularly expensive blockbusters that should be welcomed by international audiences may develop from a potenti al failure to a failure due to the corona virus. So let's see if the upcoming movie is likely to change.

Real movie versions of Disney's classic cartoons, such as "Aladdin" and "The Lion King", have achieved great success. The situation is similar to that of "Mulan", Disney hopes to establish close ties with China, so as to obtain higher international income. However, this is likely to change, as few people currently watch movies, especially in China. Disney plans to release a movie in late March, and it's time for Disney to make a decision.

"New mutants" are unlikely to be delayed. On the one hand, the breakup of X-Men was delayed several times, so the film was largely forgotten. Also, since many changes are rarely a good sign, this has led many fans to lower their expectations.
Disney has now taken over the film through the acquisition of Fox, and suspects that someone just "wants to get rid of" the film and usually starts with a loss-making business. Therefore, you won't lose much even if there are only a few people currently going to the movies. In fact, this movie can even benefit from the delay of other movies, so there is less competition after all.

As the first film in the fourth stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney naturally wanted to make "Black Widow" a success. Disney has a little time to watch international illnesses before the movie theaters show in late April, but the "Black Widow" can obviously be postponed. If this happens, Disney shouldn't spend too much time, otherwise all good start dates for the second half of the year have been considered.

Universal Pictures released Speed and Furious 9 and the company has postponed James Bond 007: No Time to Die. Continued fast franchising is also an expensive project, and the flop will have a serious impact on the studio. With more than two months to go until the planned theater release, Universal Pictures may still be patient, so we were spared the delay.
In the end, movie fans had no choice but to continue to monitor the spread of the coronavirus. It is currently difficult to predict which release date of a movie is truly safe. At least the streaming service is currently encouraging, as Netflix, Disney + and Co. are of course happy for every viewer who now often stays home.
