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.
