Like every other industry, Hollywood is reacting to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the recommended measures to blunt the spread of the disease.
Although U.S. box office has not been noticeably affected so far, the global box office has taken a significant hit as countries including China and Italy shut down cinemas and suspend all releases. Consequently, films that are released in certain territories but can’t open in others are at increased risk of piracy. For studios, that means a complicated calculation of exactly when to release their highest-profile titles.
As of now, only a few major films and specialty releases have shifted their theatrical release plans in the U.S., but the speed has already accelerated.
This post will be updated will additional changes as they are announced.
