‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Release Date Jets Off To December While ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ Relocates To September
The coronavirus has obliterated the movie release calendar as we know it. Studios are quickly pulling or pushing release dates as the situation continues on, with movie theaters across the globe currently shut down. Today, Paramount has announced some more shuffling for two of their upcoming sequels:Top Gun: MaverickandA Quiet Place Part II.Top Gunwas originally set to open in June, but is now flying to December.A Quiet Place, meanwhile, was originally supposed to open last month before being pulled. Now, Paramount says they’re going to open the film in September.
Top Gun Maverick Release Date
Do you feel the need? The need for…social distancing?Tom Cruisewas ready to fly again inTop Gun: Maverickon June 24, but now, due to the coronavirus, the film is moving to Christmas season.December 23, to be precise. Again, all of this hinges on the idea that the coronavirus problem will be under control by then. ButMaverickis just the latest in a long line of movies changing release dates. And while there are a few stragglers left, it’s looking more and more likely that there willnotbe a summer movie season this year.
A Quiet Place Part II Release Date
A Quiet Place IIwas supposed to arrive in theaters on March 20 – but obviously that didn’t happen. When Paramount pulled the movie from its initial release date, no new date was announced. Until now. Paramount will now open theJohn Krasinski-directed sequel starringEmily BluntonSeptember 4. Again – that’s not set in stone. While moving movies to the November and December seems somewhat reasonable at this time, moving things to the tail-end of summer is still questionable. Will movie theaters be back open by September? We can only hope.
Other Paramount Release Dates
In addition to the new dates forTop GunandA Quiet Place, Paramount also shuffled some other releases.The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Runwas supposed to open on May 22, but has now moved toJuly 31(which is a date that still seems unlikely). And the Chris Pratt filmThe Tomorrow Warhas been pulled from its December 25 release date, and is now TBA. See ya at the movies, folks. Maybe.
