The real reason to keep announcing new release dates is to avoid spooking everybody — investors, workers, and audiences for example — by just outright admitting the summer movie season isn’t happening this year and cancelling release dates until Christmas (or 2021, depending on how bad the flu season is).

Sounds like studios will likely decide next week on pushing to Late August/September (some other September titles are likely going to push) notfabio Jun 30, 16:53

California is likely to shut down everything on Labor Day weekend, if Memorial and July 4th weekends are any indication. {nm} Antibody Jun 30, 16:57

It's possible, right now the impact of 4th of July won't fully be known until the week leading up to July 31st due to infection/death lag. notfabio Jun 30, 17:49

That's like a death sentence for CNJU3 with the hope to save TENET? Why not move to 2021? {nm} erhead56 Jun 30, 17:31

because nobody knows what aug/Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec will look like so keeping things fluid is keeping all the options on the table Moviesnob Jun 30, 17:53

Is rolling a movie out into regions that are ready to open that unfathomable? TheWeekendWarrior Jun 30, 18:16

so much of their marketing isn't geo-targeted. Its large tv buys to a national audience. its online banner ads. Its Good Morning America. Moviesnob Jun 30, 18:23

Other markets are tiny compared to US and China. The piracy loss will outstrip any profit from those countries. Antibody Jun 30, 18:26

No, CNJU2 made $102M in June, while CNJUR made $137M in July. {nm} Antibody Jun 30, 17:55

Yep, my movie ticket money is in those totals. But do you predict those sums now? I sure dont. {nm} erhead56 Jun 30, 18:16
