Indiana jones 5 has been pushed to August 2022.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Disney seems to think Theatrical releases still matter... Man the waits are going to suck.

Indiana jones 5 has been pushed to August 2022.

Harrison Ford will literally be 80 when it comes out.

Let it go, please.

Indiana jones 5 has been pushed to August 2022.

Is that movie still going to happen?

How about Soul, Kingsman and New Mutants?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Harrison Ford will literally be 80 when it comes out.

Let it go, please.

Could this ****ing guy eat his goodamn bat a few months earlier? Fall 2019 had pretty boring releases...

 

[Black Narcissus]

I'm hoping Green Knight might be released sooner on digital now.

I have so many movies in my waitlist, that it's getting kinda confusing to keep track of the new dates (and that's if, Earth is in much better place by June). Then movies for Uncharted and Indiana Jones are in the "I believe it when filming begins" territory, they've been delayed so many times.

It must be a difficult time for studios figuring out these new dates, but I wish, like Disney would just announce all the new dates for films that were supposed to come out this year or earlier. Or at least a confirmation that Soul, Kingsman and Death on the Nile aren't moving.

Uncharted was starting filming.

Aggressive expansion into niche markets is risky with lots of overhead as can be seen with this furniture company that banked on the manufacturing need for luxury theater seats: Movie Theater Seating Manufacturer VIP Cinemas Shuts Down for Good Due to Pandemic

......According to the manufacturer’s website, VIP Cinemas launched in 2008 as a residential furniture manufacturer in New Albany, Mississippi, a town deeply rooted in the furniture industry for more than 160 years. In 2012, the company pivoted business strategies and launched luxury recliner seating for movie theaters. In 2015, the company expanded to a 900,000 square foot complex to become the largest manufacturer of luxury cinema seating in the world. Last year, the company opened global offices in the UK and Dubai as part of global expansion.

Watching Kevin Smith do a live Q&A on Youtube right now and he's talking about Clerks 3 and how it may just be straight to streaming whenever they decide it's safe to start filming again.

 

[Detective Conan]

Pretty much this. These delays could be a blessing in disguise.

 

[terry78]

Depends on who decides to use their time wisely.

 

[psylockolussus]

Marvel should now take this time to hire someone to write the script of the Fantastic Four and Mutants from home.

 

[Dark Raven]

Harrison Ford will literally be 80 when it comes out.

Let it go, please.

Indiana Jones and the Lost Crusade.

Everyone except for a small minority who wants everything to magically pop up on their home screens thinks that theatrical releases still matter.......

I am a huge fan of home cinema, but nothing replaces the theatrical experience. I’m sure there aren’t too many who want theatrical releases to end, even if they don’t go to many themselves. Home cinema has worked fine in tandem with theatrical releases all this time and I don’t see any reason for that not to continue when safety concerns have been met.

 

[terry78]

I feel like somebody could create a VR chat type deal where it's a virtual theater we can pay to sit in and watch new films as a temporary thing but I'm sure someone would find a way to mess it up.

 

[Albright]

I remember a guy sitting behind me during in Infinity War and making comments about almost everything- ruined it for me
I don‘t need theatrical releases - I only watch it, because I don‘t want to get spoiled but for most movies now I can wait for digital releases

Hyperbole will always be a thing around here.

I probably shouldn't take it so seriously, we're on the Superhero Hype! after all, and I guess that some people will regard everything that doesn't feature "capes" fighting it out as boring.

It's just that the film fan in me cringes at some of the comments I read.

1000x this.

Take everything with a grain of salt around here - I guess online in general.

I‘ve seen 1917 and JoJo a few days before the outbreak (caus it wasn’t released earlier in our cinemas) and I‘m more than grateful, that movies like the Irishman were released on Netflix, with the opportunity to stop any time for restroom-breaks...
But this might turn into an endless discussion, so I skip
Just felt the urge to disapprove your idea of a only-cape-fight-movie-lover...
