The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is having a huge impact on the world of cinema - here are all the film delays to know about, from Black Widow to Wonder Woman 1984
With ‘you-know-what’ taking over the world right now, understandably the world of cinema has taken some heavy hits.

The Future Of Cinema During COVID-19
There are still a number of upcoming films that haven’t yet been given the cancellation card, but we’re fully expecting more announcements over the next few weeks and months.
There is a possibility that streaming services in general may be a substitute for the movie-going experience. We’re likely going to see a huge surge of streaming service accounts rise due to the number of people self-isolating and social distancing themselves.
NBCUniversal is the first film label to jump on this trend, announcing that Emma, The Hunt and The Invisible Man will all be available across a number of services for two days for a suggested rental price of $19.99 (and similar prices in other markets). Trolls World Tour will also be released online.
Seeing as cinemas are now closing across the country, this may be a trend we see continuing across the next few months.
