Disney’s MULAN (Walt Disney Company)

The Walt Disney Company has postponed the upcoming theatrical releases of Mulan, Antlers (under Searchlight Pictures) and the already long-delayed The New Mutants (inherited from 20th Century) due to the growing impact of the coronavirus.

Mulan, which just had its red carpet world premiere this week, was set to debut on March 27. The New Mutants, the superhero import from old Fox, was scheduled for April 3. Searchlight’s Antlers, Scott Cooper’s sci-fi horror film produced by Guillermo Del Toro, was set for April 17. No new dates were announced.

Still on the docket is Marvel’s Black Widow on May 1 and Jungle Cruise with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt on July 24.

The announcement joins Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II and Universal’s Fast 9, both of which were pulled from April and May bows earlier today. MGM announced last week that the 25th James Bond film No Time to Die would move to November.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
