Disney’s live-action remake of Mulan has been pushed back yet again due to the surge in COVID-19 cases. The movie was originally set to be released in March 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic. It was then rescheduled for July 24th, but now Disney has announced that the movie will be delayed yet again.
The movie was originally set to be released in theaters, but due to the pandemic, Disney decided to release the movie on their streaming service, Disney+. The movie will now be released on Disney+ on September 4th.
The surge in COVID-19 cases has caused many movie theaters to close, and Disney has decided to delay the release of Mulan until the situation improves. This is not the first time Disney has delayed the release of a movie due to the pandemic. The live-action remake of The Lion King was also delayed, and is now set to be released in October.
The delay of Mulan is a disappointment for many fans who have been eagerly awaiting the movie’s release. However, Disney is doing the right thing by delaying the release of the movie until the situation improves.
Disney is also offering a special “Premier Access” option for those who want to watch the movie as soon as it is released. For an additional fee, viewers will be able to watch the movie on Disney+ before it is available to the general public.
The delay of Mulan is yet another reminder of the impact that the pandemic is having on the entertainment industry. It is unclear when movie theaters will be able to reopen, but until then, Disney is doing the right thing by delaying the release of Mulan.
Disney delayed some of its projects and releases these days. Christopher Nolan’s movie Tenet is one of those movies that got delayed twice due to the surge in COVID-19 cases. After all, now Disney delayed the release of Mulan too. This is also a second delay for the movie. It was initially scheduled to release in March. But the surge in the coronavirus cases made the creators push back it into July 24.
This decision was made after the little betterment in the pandemic situation across the country. Besides, theaters were all set to open the facilities by July 14. However, the cases keep increasing nearby days and the decision changed. So, the producers are also forced to delay the releases of movies. After all, the latest release date of the Mulan is all set for August 21.
Disney says that it will be flexible with the release date because of the situation. However, they believe in the power of these movies and it’s messaging to the world. The red carpet premiere for Mulan was held already on March 9 in LA. Few days after that, people went into quarantine.
