Marvel's Black Widow, Eternals Among Several Other Disney's Movies Postpone Release Dates

While the coronavirus pandemic still widening, Disney has further pushed the release dates of some of its major movies including Marvel's "Black Widow" and "Eternals", Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" and Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile" by several months. ## As per the domestic reports, the announcement of the postponement of several movies is bad news for the exhibition industry, which is already facing fierce headwinds after closing for months due to coronavirus. The analysts have already projected that domestic grosses would decline between 70% to 80% due to the pandemic, as stated by Variety. ## Moving back to movies pushed further, "Black Widow" starring Scarlett Johansson, was set to debut on 6 November this year, a date that started to look increasingly unlikely as movie theaters on the coasts remained closed.## Since the disappointing performance of Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" in the U.S. and the delay of "Wonder Woman 1984", Marvel was eyeing a new date to unveil the film on the big screen, and now, the superhero film will release on 7th of May in 2021. ## "Eternals" - a comic book adventure about a super-powered alien race was previously dated for 12 February 2021, will now debut on 5th of November 2021. Directed by Chloé Zhao, the movie stars Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Gemma Chan and Kumail Nanjiani.## Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile" - will bow on 18 December 2020, vacating its original 23 October premiere. "Death on the Nile" - a murder mystery based on Agatha Christie's novel, appeals to an older moviegoers, a demographic that might be hesitant to return to indoor spaces during the pandemic.## Disney has also pushed the release dates of several other movies which have been slated to release in 2020 and 2021. ## Stay tuned...

She has changed my life for the better, and I'm forever grateful", she added. ## The last season of Supergirl will arrive whenever midseason 2021 is for the CW network.
