The Disney/Marvel delays are a trickledown effect of finishing and how these film schedules impact one another. Theater chains got nervous this was another Disney+ push.

Exhibition, no need to be alarmed: This has nothing to do with a change in distribution strategy for these films, I’m informed. There’s no Disney+ theatrical day-and-date going on, nor are Disney execs immediately concerned about the future of the global marketplace. It’s all on account of a domino effect going on with production and filmmakers. Some titles are contending with finishing scenarios while others are in production. This is how Disney is solving it, and when you come to think of it, most of the dates were already reserved by the studio for Marvel fare; they’re just moving titles from one slot to the next.

 

Even better, the Indiana Jones sequel, which was sitting on the same release date as Warner Bros/DC’s Black Adam next year (on July 29, 2022), now moves to June 30, 2023. That’s Independence Day weekend, where Universal already has an untitled Illumination movie.

With diplomatic tensions between Beijing and Washington at a nadir, Hollywood’s China business lines are hitting fresh lows. U.S. film imports are now at their lowest levels in a generation and various major studio features, including popular superhero titles Spider-Man: No Way Home and Venom: Let There Be Carnage from Sony-Marvel, still have no release dates. Their chances of getting the green light are becoming slimmer by the day as the year winds down, analysts say (The first Venom earned $269 million in China in late 2018.)

 

Just 25 U.S. movies have been released theatrically in China in 2021 so far, and those include a raft of very minor indies. (In 2019, some 45 Hollywood titles were shown on Chinese screens.) The planned U.S. diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics can be expected to further escalate the antipathy working against Hollywood’s commercial interests in what’s now the world’s largest theatrical market. Most insiders now fear the business climate will get worse before it gets better.

 

Adds Pow: “The possibility of singling out sectors of commerce as a means of economic or cultural messaging is always possible, and the cultural sector is only one among many options. Banning out of favor cultural or entertainment content has not been a uniquely South Korean issue.”

UPDATED: We’ve heard that a number of these movies, which are VFX heavy, are being pushed due to the logjam many post-prod effects houses are facing as productions ramped up during Covid. The Flash alone has 2,500 VFX shots, we understand.

 

  • DC League of Super-Pets moves from May 20 to July 29.
  • The Flash moves from November 4 to June 23, 2023.
  • Aquaman moves from December 16 to March 17, 2023.
  • Wonka moves from March 17, 2023, to December 15, 2023.
  • Shazam! Fury of the Gods moves up from June 2, 2023, to December 16, 2022
  • Meg 2: The Trench has been set for August 4, 2023.


Also on the move is this year’s Dwayne Johnson-led Black Adam, from July 29 to October 21. The star revealed that one earlier today.

There's the reason behind the changes. All the COVID backlog of films causing a finishing CGCI traffic jam.
