This is bold. It certainly shows that Disney is confident that things will be back up and running by mid-July at the latest.

I wonder if they feel confident about July 24th being a date large crowds will be "ready, willing, and able" to go to theaters or more hopeful

Also, for Artemis Fowl on Disney+, didn't see a date listed - is it the same date it was supposed to open in theaters (may 29th) that it will be on Disney+?

I wonder how much of the filming of this is done? Because Harrison Ford is going to be 1000 years old before this happens...

Ugh. Avengers Endgame was a year ago this month. The name was more prescient than they realized at the time.

Jungle Cruise wrapped in October (sorry) September! 2018. New Release Date July 2021. Poor Emily Blunt and The Rock will be doing press for a movie they can't remember the plot of.

I was stoked to see Jungle Cruise this summer. I guess it's something to look forward to a little longer.

Bummer! I was really looking forward to that one. It looks FUN.

I see Eoin Colfer tweeted about it but just said "soon" so maybe they don't know exactly yet. Still, gotta be honest, I am way more likely to watch this on Disney+ than I would be to got to the theater to watch it

...The film has been delayed like crazy. It was filmed in 2017 with an April 2018 release date in mind. It was last supposed to be released today.

This movie is cursed. Wasn't it supposed to be more adult / horror themed? Seems like a slam-dunk to release directly on Hulu, especially as they've been moving some of the FX stuff to Hulu exclusives ... DEVS, Mrs. America etc

They should be thankful they still have a job. I know I am when I see the number of people now suffering in this country.
