They might want to ask Donald trump to get a proper plan in place to stop corona virus to save the industry , what about they start to get political and donate to Biden so that cinema can be saved

Aka, the Mulan test results weren’t super great

Thanks a lot, Mulan.

But next year we’ll still have covid

ugh

Ahahahahhaahhahs....

😂

Well no sh*t. This has been reported 12 times in 2 days.

booo :(

I don't know where Moonshu was last sighted. She was in Florida in May, but I figured she had moved. It's plausible that they might try to take her to some high security section of the Disney World complex where editing is done, but if she edited while I lived she would escape.

RIP Marvel

Another kick in the guts to the world wide cinema industry because key markets like America and the UK cannot get theIr shit together. Expect another A grade blockbuster that was set for a theatrical release to drop world wide on Disney+ soon! I believe both platforms can coexist

Nobody cares

They should probably recast Ansel, no?

Do we really need another west side story remake?

BlackWidow: A WestSideStory

I’ve lost interest at this point!

N[ooooo[ooooooo

if there is a theatre!

Didn’t she die?

We are willing to wait. 🕷 BlackWidow

This is very sad news

Despite MCU taking over $22bn WW since 2008 it says a lot that Disney still see opening Black Widow this year as far too big a risk and it tells rival studios to delay all remaining films for this year too

*sad face*

' Black Widow ' release pushed to May 7 , ' West Side Story ' until December 2021.

Disney is truly more evil than I.

They seem like they want to put theaters out of business.

☹️

West Side Story was released decades ago, duh.

I forgot this was coming out ngl ☠

Damn this movie is never getting released

Wario64 I don't really see the point of Black Widow, though. Since they killed her off, what they have to work with is kind of finite. There can't be any growth past that point, which kinda sucks.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

NOOOO

vl_little damn it keeps getting futher n further from us 😫

Wario64 Because of fucking course

No

People actually care about black widow

Lol dub , batman coming out next year , only risking catching covid for that. Might as well put these movies online

Really bummed but not surprised at all

Guessing Wonder Woman is going to be next

I hope this doesnt happen for NoTimeToDie JamesBond

Trump destroyed Everything

Lemme guess are they gonna delay wandavision since there is no marvel content this year

Honestly they put too much faith in Tenet, which was not a good movie. They can try another blockbuster sometime this fall. wbpictures DisneyStudios MarvelStudios

Boy I been waiting for Black Widow...

Althou all our theaters are open in Canada, hopefully they are still on track for the bond movie to open Nov 20🤞

Mulan didn't do well because everyone bootleg the movie

I'm glad Black Widow has been moved to 2021. i 1000% would have gone to see it, but I would VERY much prefer not to have to risk my life to do so. Also, I'm beyond grateful they didn't dump it on Disney+; if they do, i'm out.

bruh cant they just put it on disney plus. there is no need to delay it if its ready other than disney being greedy

happy birthday AnthonyMackie

you’re fucking kidding me

Wario64

Fuck that. Really

Again

kbrown1811

The untold story of Endgame...Captain America actually grew old waiting for this movie to come out.

Marvel would rather take their chance in theaters next year then risk about 'Mulan'

Europe and the UK Eternals WestSideStory BlackWidow

Please stop setting arbitrary dates for things and accept we won’t be back to normal until next summer.

By the time Black Widow hits theaters nobody is even going to care about it. This movie has been delayed so many times it’s becoming the NewMutantsFilm

No one asked for it anyway. Keep it.

Shocking.

I read this as Black Widow: West Side Story and thought that was the full title of the Black Widow film.

WednesdayRox Feel bad for ScarlettJohansson. First they nix her from universe. Then her first solo in MCU gets affected by rona. 🤦‍♂️

Correction: Delayed to make more money.

ITs CaUSe SHes A WoMaN

Went to see new mutants, I felt safer there than I do at a restaurant. And i work in a restaurant as well.

I'm over it. These will never release if people don't wise the fuck up

The movie about her should had been a LONG TIME AGO, nobody cares!

NOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭

Are you fucking serious? There isn't gonna be a theater to release to if big names keep pulling back like this.

Wario64 She’s so pretty omg I love her

Wario64

Things will get better.

Arggggggggggggg

at least we’re getting wandavision this year

Wario64

This will be the 1st year without a MCU film since 2009.

good now when it comes out in 2021 and flops they wont have a pandemic to blame the low ratings on

Fuuuck

I forgot this movie even existed. 🙄 nobody cares about black widow.

Wario64 Just drop it on Disney+ now...no point in waiting

😐

Good gives them plenty of time to replace AnselElgort for being a rapist

This is the least shocking news in the world. Movies won’t be back until we’re in a truly post-vaccine era. And no one is more depressed about that than me.

surely I can't be the only one who thinks $30 (£20 for me) isn't that much. I've had four different people use my disney plus (including myself) which makes for £5 (if I cared enough to charge them)

This was almost right.

Wario64 I don't think Mulan did so hot streaming for $30. They did say if Mulan didn't do well online they would rethink how to go about doing Black Widow.

Noa_11_04 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

Wario64 All y'all had to do was sit down somewhere and put ya mask on. Smh.

Translation: Nobody paid $30 for Mulan on Disney+, so we're going to wait for theaters to return to normal.

Wario64 Theatres aren't going to open anytime soon in large swaths of the world. Disney+ exists for a reason

Wario64 The_LordX dcrediah

I would watch the shit out of “Black Widow: West Side Story.”

Wario64 Good. I'd rather see black widow in theaters than struggle to stream it with my terrible internet.

I know Mulan didn’t do very good, but I think Black Widow would make good money on demand.

GraceRandolph

Wario64 At this point just give me the PS5 and I’ll be ok. At least we’re getting WandaVision on Disney+

That means Disney's last film they got left to show in theatres is Soul and what if that gets delayed to 2021 or sent direct to streaming as well?

Wario64 But the theatre is open I already saw tenet there twice

I read this as 'Black Widow: Wide Side Story' delayed.

Wario64 Just put it on Disney + I’ll pay 30 for it already. Wouldn’t do it for Mulan. But damn I want black widow already.

peterjordan100

BrokenGamezHDR_ BRUH BLACK WIDOW DELAYED AGAIN?!?!?!?!

Wario64 Oh F u u u dge

Wario64 Doesn’t this mean it’s the first year since 2009 there hasn’t been a marvel movie?

We're not going to the movies in 2021 either, they don't get it

Wario64 there we go

And there it is 😓

Wario64 yikes

Wario64 Understandable, but FUCK

God dammit

Wario64 It’s ok I want to see black widow in theaters

Wario64 Bruh moment

Diana won

Wario64 Damm

Better delayed than VOD
