All of the major movies now being released in 2021
2020 was meant to be the year that other studios rallied against the Disney domination of 2019, but the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has led to unprecedented scenes.
Studios have had to delay their major releases, and it's possible that we won't have a single major blockbuster released in summer 2020. While some movies could still be released this year, some big releases have been moved to 2021.
We don't know how the various delays in filming will affect the scheduled release dates, but if everything is released when it was originally planned to, we've got a huge year of cinema heading our way next year.
