Upcoming blockbusters such as New Mutants – which had already been delayed three times – Mulan and A Quiet Place 2 have followed 007’s lead and are being held back during the coronavirus crisis.
@Geekpantsmedia said; “This is so incredibly unfortunate for #Newmutants. It just can’t catch a break.”
@Breznican said: “If Disney decided to capitalise on its already-spent marketing push and release Mulan on Disney+, they would instantly gain millions upon millions of newly homebound subscribers.”
@Moviebuff100 tweted: “Put #Newmutants in a time capsule, let the next generation find it and enjoy it. We don’t deserve it, we were never supposed to.”
@Th3birdman15 blasted: “Listen movie studios– don’t tell me that you care about people getting sick. You only [care] about your profits and how they’re going to be affected. So, Idea Time: Release the movies on a streaming platform.”
