Disney has delayed the theatrical release of “Mulan” for a third time, all but officially putting an end to Hollywood’s hopes of salvaging a summer movie season.

The studio’s live-action remake was slated to debuted in theaters on July 24. Instead, “Mulan” will hit the big screen on Aug. 21.

“While the pandemic has changed our release plans for ‘Mulan’ and we will continue to be flexible as conditions require, it has not changed our belief in the power of this film and its message of hope and perseverance,” said Disney’s co-chairman and chief creative officer Alan Horn and co-chairman Alan Bergman. “Director Niki Caro and our cast and crew have created a beautiful, epic, and moving film that is everything the cinematic experience should be, and that’s where we believe it belongs — on the world stage and the big screen for audiences around the globe to enjoy together.”

The move comes after news that Warner Bros. postponed the release of “Tenet,”  a sci-fi epic from director Christopher Nolan, for a second time. That film — starring John David Washington and Robert Pattinson — is now expected to debut on Aug. 12.

Movie theaters across the country, and the world, have been closed for most of 2020 to help stop the spread of coronavirus. Major cinema chains in the U.S., such as AMC, Regal and Cinemark, have been aiming to resume business in July. When they do open, it’s unclear how eager patrons will be to return to the movies.

“Mulan,” which cost $200 million to make, is expected to strongly resonate in China. But Chinese movie theaters are all currently closed, without a known reopening date. Given the importance of “Mulan” in China, it would have been risky to release the movie and leave Chinese audiences behind.

Disney has moved around a slew of upcoming titles in the past few months, including “The Eternals,” “Jungle Cruise” and “Indiana Jones 5.” Since production has been halted worldwide for months due to the global health crisis, some of those films would not have been ready to debut in theaters by their target release dates.

Like the 1998 animated version, “Mulan” follows a warrior who disguises herself as a man to spare her elderly father from having to serve in the military. It’s the first of Disney’s live-action remakes to be rated PG-13, due to sequences of violence.

Update – Music

Beyoncé shared a trailer for her upcoming visual album Black Is King,set to premiere July 31 exclusively on Disney+.

Based on the music of her 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift, the project is written, directed and executive produced by Beyoncé herself. Several featured artists on The Gift will reportedly appear once more on Black Is King, with the list of collaborators including Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell, JAY-Z, Blue Ivy Carter, 070 Shake, Tierra Whack, Jessie Reyez and African artists such as Wizkid, Shatta Wale, Burna Boy, Mr Eazi, Tiwa Savage, Tekno, Yemi Alade, Busiswa and Salati.

Black Is King pays homage to “voyages of Black families throughout time,” telling the story of a “young king’s transcendent journey through betrayal, love and self-identity.” He moves closer to his destiny with the help of his ancestors, and he manages to reclaim his home and throne with integrity thanks to his father’s guidance and love.

“Black Is King is a celebratory memoir for the world on the Black experience,” Disney and Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment said in a statement. “The film is a story for the ages that informs and rebuilds the present. A reunion of cultures and shared generational beliefs. A story of how the people left most broken have an extraordinary gift and a purposeful future.”

They added, “These timeless lessons are revealed and reflected through Black voices of today, now sitting in their own power. Black Is King is an affirmation of a grand purpose, with lush visuals that celebrate Black resilience and culture. The film highlights the beauty of tradition and Black excellence.”

Black Is King premieres July 31 on Disney+.
