New Mutants Movie

[G0RM]

I knew it was going to be delayed again.

I wonder if this is like '42', where the universe itself will end before "New Mutants" is released.

What are the chances they will release New Mutants in June because the CDC is recommending gatherings of 50 or more over the next EIGHT weeks be postpone or cancelled ?

Theaters in LA and NYC are closing by order of their mayors. In LA, that's until the end of March. Theaters could technically figure out some way to have fewer than 50 in a theater, but still that's not a good idea. But closing their doors for 2+ months? Most businesses can't withstand that.

But the speculation is that Memorial Day weekend might be the first week of releases, but what releases those are?

Fingers crossed that theaters can open sooner. Not that releasing New Mutants is all that important, but movies being releases will be a sign of life getting back to normal. Hopefully social distancing works and we can all beat these thing together by sitting on our couches binge watching Netflix then be able to go see lots of movies in the summer.

I really dont think this movie will come out in theaters anymore especially if this happens. There are already movies lined up to be released in the summer through end of fall and that will get even more crowded with the spring movies dispersed around there. I dont think NM stands a chance and it wont make its money back. If anything it might have a limited run but I expect it to be on Disney Plus

Not to mention every movie that has been pushed in that time will want to rebook. It's going to be a bloodbath over those early weekends. We'll likely see this pushed to Hulu or View on Demand if that happens along with many other "to small to compete" films.

The world didnt have a global pandemic which caused the shutdown of theaters for weeks, possibly months. Most industries, including the film, werent prepared for something like this, which causes unprecedented action in order to adapt. Theaters will have to be selective of what they run when things get back up and running which is why I said this may have a LIMITED RUN (since you like to use caps)

There are force majeure clauses in almost every contract these days, and a worldwide pandemic is one that would qualify under it.

I guess we'll have to wait and see in the meantime

Dude things have changed for Hollywood. If the next MCU movue has to be delayed, then NM has no chance of a release window.

Dallas has closed theaters too.

[Slicknickshady]

This movie will get BUTCHERED in theaters because it will have to deal with every other movie that got held back.

Unless they pull an Inhumans and do a VERY limited run (say 2 weeks) and be done with it. It will not survive if the date they choose is the same date say Wonder Woman 84 or James Bond decides to come out on.

They better aim for 2021.

Or they can release it in the middle of May or late June/early July.
