I was going to ask if this meant that the next Spider-Man movie wouldn't be getting released in 2021, but then I remembered that Sony is supposed to be distributing that, not Disney.
Frankly, 2020 was already looking to be a fairly underwhelming year for big event movies, so there probably weren’t going to be any big record breakers anyway.
In terms of adapting the novel, the first two movies are each loosely based on different parts of it, which is why I think they work better as a single film. Just cut out the Mary Shelley part at the beginning of Bride.
It sure seems like television shows with disappointing finales have been a pretty common thing in the 21st century. It’s pretty amazing that Breaking Bad managed to avoid that with a finale that’s widely seen as one of the best episodes of the show.
El Camino is pretty good. It doesn’t really feel like a movie, so much as an extended episode of the show, but it provides a solid conclusion for Jesse’s story.
I obviously don’t know Nolan personally, but I’m assuming that he wouldn’t mind this movie being released outside of the Summer movie season, so long as it still gets a theatrical release.
Matrix 4 seems to have no chance of making its current release date, so they could move this to May, although December would’ve been preferable under normal circumstances.
WB seems to be under the impression that this whole thing will blow over by July or August, so I imagine it’ll take a while before they move this, assuming they do.
There’s really no telling when things will go back to normal anyway. Any movie that’s scheduled to be released this year is in a potentially difficult situation.
