The coming weeks are looking more and more bleak in your local cinema with COVID-19 wreaking havoc on release dates (among other more important worldly things) and studio confidence. The latest victim is everyone’s favorite fluffy yet mischievous bunny with Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway getting a five month delay from it’s original March 27th date of release to August 7th. Peter joins Daniel Craig’s James Bond in getting the push, No Time To Die was pushed back until November sparking all manner of concern and outrage, and in some cases applause to the studio for it’s reaction. I think it’s safe to say that we can expect more films to get a release delay as this virus spreads, especially if the weekends continue to be unusually soft in terms of box office. Stick with us here at the PDC, we’ll be bringing you all of the news on this as soon as it’s available.
