Welp, expected but still a bummer.

I'm still expecting any movie target not set for next year is going to fall way below expectations in sales.
Jfc and here I was, looking forward to Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Oh well. I can wait a little more because bustin' makes me feel good 😏
They're stalling and looking to dump that Cinderella movie on some streaming service.
Word is that it's very very bad.

funny thing is its another marketing fuck up. Ghostbusters stuff is going to be showing up in grocery stores soon
Unsurprising. These movies need theatrical profits, and those aren't coming in any form until mid-Summer at the earliest. Curious what Disney's next move is. Do they keep Black Widow where it is, and do a Premiere Access release - or bump their entire schedule another six months?
Link? That's the opposite of what Deadline is reporting lol
People were way too hopeful. I mean even back in like October I was telling family if we are lucky people in their 30s would be getting the vaccine by Summer 2021 the earliest in all likelihood. 2021 is a recovery year but not the kind for theaters etc. Just people recovery
I think the Fall schedule can be saved, somewhat.
But yeah, the rest of the year seems like a lost cause.
This is more dispiriting though because we're already a year in and vaccines are rolling out slowly. Movie delays are fine, we'll see them eventually, but I'm especially bummed about the outright cancellation of the Olympics.
So I'm guessing major movie theater chains are pretty much done unless a major intervention takes place...?
Too early to write off the second half of the year and especially the fall. Mid-year films like Black Widow are in a very awkward place though.
Still dated for April. Given how many other movies Paramount has unloaded onto streaming while still holding onto this one, seems more likely they'll try to stick to a theatrical release and just delay again.
Why put Ghostbusters there? If theatres aren't safe the first week of October, they're not going to suddenly be safe a month later.
As an aside, putting that on, say, Netflix on October 31st would instantly make it one of the most watched movies of the year, due to ease of access and perfect thematic timing.
Hopefully saving them can be in one of Biden's fixes, alongside stuff like museums and concert venues.

The AMC that was my go-to theater closed down for good a few months ago but was bought by a smaller chain of theaters. So we may lose on some bigger chains locations but I imagine theaters will survive in some form.
Theaters will probably get some sort of bailout. They aren't a thing of the past they will make adjustments. I don't see how they will make money off any big blockbuster title on a streaming service.
It's moving from June to November, not October to November. And October is pretty full already, with Dune, Bond, Halloween Kills, etc.
Nothing major is coming out before July unless its on streaming. And July is generous. It could be much further.
None of these delays are surprising in the least.

I realize that, it's just a perfect Halloween film so delaying from June to not-October seemed weird to me.
Pahaha, you moving Peter Rabbit out of Easter Again? Oh that is rich. Just go for the home release on that one already.
You already gave up all pretenses it would be good due to hiring this guy.
And movies ain't making money in the cinema at the moment unless you are in China. So why not cut the loses at this point.

Not sure if this can continue for as long as it's going to need to for the studios to be happy with the profits.
And they are going to continue to film movies and pile them up.

They already have : Greyhound and The Mitchels vs The Machines
what?
I hate watching movies at home, I'd rather watch at a theater.
Variety was predicting a move for some films in piece published yesterday. One of those they listed was Black Widow which I see happening now after the other studios moved their Feb - May films.
