The Corona Effect

Gone are the days when going to the multiplex and ordering a bucket of the extra butter popcorn with diet cola was a weekly affair. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has completely changed our social lives.

Film production houses are trying to read people’s minds, and are shuffling the release of their big-banner movie dates. Some producers are hoping to see people make it to the theatres by early 2021, and the rest have made up their minds, after all, about a digital release.

The pandemic continues to impact an ever-changing theatrical release calendar. Here’s your updated calendar of what’s releasing when.
