Hollywood: the film industry suffers from the pandemic 1:00
(CNN) - Wonder Woman 1984 ”and“ In the Heights “are the last films that changed their release plans in the midst of the pandemic that affects the world.
The sequel to "Wonder Woman" was scheduled to premiere on June 5, 2020. It will now premiere on August 14.
"In the Heights" was scheduled to premiere on June 26, but has no new release date yet.
"We did 'Wonder Woman 1984' for the big screen and I believe in the power of cinema," director Patty Jenkins wrote on Twitter, in a subtle nod to the apparently unfounded rumors that "Wonder Woman 1984" would debut live.
"In these terrible times, when theater owners are struggling like many, we are excited to put our movie back to August 14, 2020 in a theater near you, and pray that better times are coming for everyone."
Star Gal Gadot added: “In these dark and terrifying times, I look forward to a brighter future ahead. Where we can share the power of cinema again together… I hope everyone is safe. I send my love to you all. ”

The producer of both films is Warner Bros. Pictures, which, like CNN, is owned by Warner Media.
No explanation was offered as to why the film directed by Jon M. Chu. "In the Heights" does not have a new release date.
But on Twitter, star Lin Manuel Miranda, who also did the music and lyrics for the Broadway show the film is based on, shared a hopeful message.
“We had the best summer of our lives last year filming #InTheHeightsMovie. We meet in Washington Heights and tell this story, in the place of this neighborhood, with our neighbors in that community. We couldn't wait to share it with you. But we are going to have to wait a little longer, ”he wrote. With the uncertainty that we live in the world, at this time, the release of "In The Heights" is postponed. When we can safely meet again, flags in hand, we'll be there, enjoying this movie in theaters. We will have the premiere in Uptown. The best summer of our lives, together. Patience and faith. Patience and faith".
James Wan's horror movie "Malignant" and the animated movie "Scoob!" They were also postponed, without announcing new release dates.
