Krissykins Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wonder after Onward flopping and Peter Rabbit moving, Trolls will be next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMisfits Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Should just delay this to next March...the whole reason this broke out the 1st time was bunny/spring/Easter...August isn't gonna have that tie-in vibe... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolls may stay put since it has no family competition aside from Mulan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 To be fair, this was literally sandwiched between Mulan and Trolls after the latter moved up a week (and August looks low on kiddie fare) so they already had a good reason to get out of town, though now they're giving up the Easter tie-in they were clearly aiming for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Spy as well even though it wasn't likely going to be do much business but still competition nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 The thing is, it’s not even the virus itself but instead the mass panic that’s causing studios to worry. Seriously, more potential customers are out of commission all the time because of weather, localized recessions, or just the normal flu! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to make a decision until around 5 weeks before the release date...that is when the contracts are signed with the theaters, and after that you are pretty much commited. In fact you are legally obligated to release the film on the date in the contracts or suffer a world of legal hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I must say, this delay really hurts Peter Rabbit's shot at breaking $200m OW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be astonished if said contracts don’t already include some sort of force majeure clause as a standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case for Fast 9 its lot earlier as they started PS almost 4 months before release. Studio must really be regretting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I think studios would be reluctant to invoke it....it would hurt their reputation, and I suspect would lead to some court battles. Most attempts to invoke an "Act Of God" lead to that. Anyway,only film we are really talking about is "Mulan" and I have a feeling the Mouse will just let that one ride and see what happens.
