Part II: All About Superheroes (Updated Schedules)
The pandemic has put theaters and studios in a chicken-and-egg situation where theaters can't open profitably without a stable slate of new releases (especially with restricted capacity). But major studios won't release their tentpoles with low box office numbers, as ardent moviegoers (including myself) are really leery about going.
With Regal Cinemas (the second largest theater chain in the U.S.) shuttering operations for an indefinite period (another postponement of James Bond's "No Time to Die" from November 2020 to April 2, 2021 was the last straw), Marvel, DC and Sony Pictures have also pushed their superheroes pictures to 2021. "Wonder Woman: 1984" is the only major picture that still slated for December 25, 2020, and even then, director Patty Jenkins has voiced concerns and moving it again is not out of the question. Disney has made also the decision to release Pixar's animation "Soul" into Disney+, following the relative success of "Mulan."
The good news is the studios are still committed to releasing these blockbusters on the big screen, as they are intended to be seen... We're going to see a flood of releases in 2021-2022!
Check this out:
March 19, 2021: “Morbius” (Sony Pictures)
May 7, 2021: “Black Widow” (Marvel Studios)
June 25, 2021: “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” (Sony Pictures)
July 9, 2021: “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (Marvel Studios)
Aug, 6, 2021: “The Suicide Squad” (DC Films)
Nov. 5, 2021: “Eternals” (Marvel Studios)
Dec. 17, 2021: Untitled “Spider-Man: Far From Home” sequel (Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios)
Feb. 11, 2022: “Thor: Love and Thunder” (Marvel Studios)
March 4, 2022: “The Batman” (DC Films)
March 25, 2022: “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (Marvel Studios)
May 6, 2022: “Black Panther II” (Marvel Studios)
July 8, 2022: “Captain Marvel 2” (Marvel Studios)
Until then, let's buckle down and continue to do our part as we're moving towards closing 2020. Or perhaps catch up on past movies: https://sdmoviemaven.blogspot.com/p/special-posts.html

Part Umpteenth of Movies Reshuffling... and FREE Movies & TV Website
In another timeline, 2020 would have been a big year for movies. With new movies from several huge franchises dropping, it was poised to create some big box office numbers. In a COVID reality, it's a totally different story. Movies predicted to be blockbusters have been moved yet again... some even vacating 2020 altogether.
Marvel, in particular, due to its interconnected universe had to moved other movies (namely, "Shang-Chi" and "Eternals" to later dates due to the postponement of "Black Widow").
For now, "Wonder Woman: 1984" is slated to close an unprecedented year, however, with Regal Cinemas (the second largest movie theaters in the country) is said to be shuttering operations indefinitely, may have an impact as well. It remains to be seen whether another Gal Gadot's feature film, "Death on the Nile" (read "Murder on the Orient Express" review for nostalgia sake) will stick to its December 18, 2020 premiere date and Disney's animated "Soul" will stick to its November 20, 2020 release and "Death on the Nile" on December 18, 2020.
"Wonder Woman: 1984" to December 25, 2020
"No Time to Die" to April 2, 2021
"Black Widow" to May 7, 2021
"F9" ("Fast & Furious 9") to May 28, 2021
"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" to July 9, 2021
"Eternals" to November 5, 2021
"The King's Man" to December 2021 (date unknown; said to be moving from February 12, 2021)
