Upcoming Hollywood Movies
Our 2021 fall new Hollywood movie preview looks tons like last year’s edition, once we wrote about the “topsy-turvy reality” that engulfed the movie world. Customers paid more to stream a movie reception than they might during a theater.
Streaming companies, already ascendant before the pandemic, were fast becoming
a priority in every studio’s release schedule. And blockbuster sequels,
reboots, and spin-offs that had previously been seen as sure things were
moved round the release calendar at will,
as studios fretted about lost revenues.
Fast-forward to 2021, and
tiny has changed. Despite theater chain AMC rolling out a $25
million advertising campaign to entice
customers back to the cinema, more and more blockbusters are being delayed or
moved to a studio-owned streaming service.
Hours before this text was published, Universal joined fellow
entertainment behemoths Warner Bros. and Disney in embracing same-day streaming
releases, announcing that its “Halloween” sequel “Halloween Kills” would
receive a same-day release in theaters and on its streaming service, Peacock,
Oct. 15.
In spite of it all, the
autumn movie season seems like it'll be an exciting one, crammed
with delayed blockbusters, Oscar hopefuls, and variety of flicks filmed
here within the Massachusetts .
Here are 25 movies that are alleged to begin within the remaining
months of 2020. Just don’t hold it against us if studios plan to delay a couple
of of those titles (again).
