Mulan is joining Tenet in release calendar limbo, as the live-action Disney remake follows Christopher Nolan’s thriller in abandoning its August release without a replacement date on the schedule.
The news comes hours after AMC Theatres, the largest exhibition circuit in the world, confirmed it would be delaying its domestic reopening to August.
Last week, Warner Bros. took the unusual step of removing Tenet from its theatrical release schedule without providing a new date. “We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that,” said Warner Bros. Pictures Group Chair Toby Emmerich in a statement.
As opposed to Warner Bros., Disney did not provide any comment in removing Mulan from the calendar.
Despite the shift in dates, Disney is still on track to become the first major studio to launch a wide release since the Covid-19 pandemic shuttered cinemas around the world in March. The New Mutants, a title originally slated for release by 20th Century Fox, is currently scheduled to open on August 28.
On the specialty front, Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, originally scheduled for October 16 under Searchlight Pictures (formerly Fox Searchlight), has also been removed from the release schedule. Disney’s Searchlight division will return to cinemas on August 28 with The Personal History of David Copperfield, previously slated for an August 14 release.
The other major release shifts from Disney include an additional year’s delay for the upcoming Avatar and Star Wars sequels, now expected to rech theaters on 2022 and 2023 respectively.
