I think if they release the big movies, like Black Widow or Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and charge $20 a rental, they'd probably make pretty close to the amount of money they'd make if they released them in theaters.
Black Widow anticipation thread
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
Plus for twenty bucks you could probably watch it as many times as you like in the 24 or 48 hour window.
If they release them on streaming they will easily be ripped and be all over pirate sites within hours- in lovely nice full HD quality too (as opposed to your filmed-on-a-camera-phone-at-the-back-of-a-movie-theatre-with-Chinese-subtitles you usually get on such sites with cinema released new movies)
You know Disney+ still isn't available here in the UK. And yet everyone has seen The Mandalorian though...

Marvel Studios indefinitely delays Black Widow release
Not exactly a surprise. Ah well, at least this didn't happen last year. If this had been for Endgame it would have been infuriating!

Not surprised it's been delayed, a bit surprising that it's "indefinitely" delayed, as I would have thought this would be a big enough movie to warrant a new release date announced with its postponement announcement. Unless my earlier speculation was correct and they are trying to figure out a juggling act of how to slot it in among other blockbusters and needing to bump other MCU movies and slot them in among other blockbusters accordingly.And here we are-

Damn, damn, damn. Knew it was coming but it still sucks.And here we are-

At this point, aren't all major releases up through May already postponed? IIRC, Black Widow was the last one still holding onto it original release date. I don't think there are any important releases now until June, and hopefully by then the virus will be passed.
Show of hands, who exactly would even want to risk going to the cinema in the middle of all this anyway? Those places are grubby at the best of times. With a virus running around? Yeah, no thanks! I can wait to see a movie.
If not, we'll have bigger problems by then anyway...
Not all the ones near me. All the chains are competeing agains each other now, and esp Netflix, so have lowered their prices. £4.99 at Vue for any film any time of day is excellent value. And most now have been done out and vastly upgraded with really nice reclining leather seats and your own little table. It's like Larry David designed them. So anyway, the Vues and Everymans near me at least are fantastic. And I tend to go in the afternoon when it's dead anyway.
But alas..
Anyway, Wonder Woman 84 would be the next big one I wanna see, out June 5th. And then after that Ghostbusters: Afterlife on July 10th.... So we'll have to see how long this drags on..

Black Widow has a new composer...

For a film that was originally slated to come out in May, it seems awfully late to change composers.
I suspect they made this decision taking advantage of the delay, but yeah. Sure is weird.

Massive release date changes today. Black Widow moves to November to take Eternals old spot, Eternals moves to Shang-Chi's old spot, and each domino continues to fall after that.
On the plus side, Disney did announce a brand new date: Captain Marvel 2 is coming in July 2022.
That leaves the MCU 2022 schedule at :Thor 4, Black Panther 2, and Captain Marvel 2. So far. They may add a 4th film in the last few months of the year. A pretty loaded schedule.
But the big news here is: we're waiting an extra 6 months for Black Widow. (Fingers crossed that the wait isn't longer.)

Well it would be bad to compete with Wonder Woman... this way both films will get maximum opportunity.
Captain Marvel 2 is July 2021 or July 2023?
