Whereas in the United States, most cinemas close their doors in order to comply with the security and confinement regulations imposed by the authorities, film production companies are forced to postpone their releases or shootings following the state of emergency established by Donald Trump. After MGM which postponed to November the release of the last James Bond film, No Time To Die , it's Netflix and Disney + 's turn to act.
On the side of Netflix, all the films and series in the course of shooting, or which it is scheduled in the United States and Canada in the coming weeks, are postponed by two weeks. Thus, it is the long-awaited sequels of Stranger Things and Lucifer that are pending. Riverdale , whose season 4 is being broadcast, is also on hiatus.
Big-eared business idles
The series and films produced by Disney are also affected: Grey's Anatomy, Falcon and The Winter Soldier , but also the planned shooting of the next Marvel production, Shang-Chi and the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.
Mulan and Les Nouveaux Mutants , whose theatrical releases were approaching, were also postponed to an unknown date. The recent closure of film complexes also had a detrimental effect on the release of the latest Pixar film, En Avant. If the movie released in dark theaters on March 4 is not a failure, the results are still below Disney's expectations, with a low total of $ 39.1 million in revenue for its first weekend in North America. In comparison, Frozen 2 had accumulated $ 127 million over the same period of time.
The effects of this health crisis obviously do not only have repercussions on Disney and Netflix, the entire film industry being affected. It remains to be seen whether these reports are not the first in a long list…
