After delaying a number of releases last year, it looks like studios are postponing movies again as cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in recent months.
Universal recently announced new dates for their upcoming movies, including “No Time to Die”, which was originally slated to open in cinemas on 2 April and is now scheduled for 8 October release. The new James Bond movie was previously revealed to be Daniel Craig’s final film playing the famous spy, and co-stars Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, and Lashana Lynch.
Other movies under the Universal banner will also delay its screenings, including the Bob Odenkirk-starrer, “Nobody”, which is now scheduled for an April release; and Edgar Wright’s “Last Night in Soho”, which will be released on 22 October.
