Disney's Live-Action MULAN Could Get Delayed Once Again

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Disney's live-action Mulan has been delayed to August, from its previously expected July debut. The film is currently set to open on August 10.

However, according to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Doug Creutz, a Cowen analyst, said he does not expect Disney to release any films "in fiscal year 2020."

"We now expect domestic theaters to be largely closed until mid-2021, in part because we DON'T think studios will be interested in releasing their largest movies into a capacity-constrained footprint," he said.

It has not been confirmed whether or not this will affect the Mulan release date.
