Tom Holland's upcoming Uncharted movie is the latest to face a release date delay due to the ongoing coronovirus pandemic. Known as COVID-19, the coronavirus has greatly impacted the entertainment industry, from production halts to release delays. Nearly every film due to be released in the next several months has been postponed. In some cases, these movies have been released to streaming and VOD instead, while others have been delayed indefinitely. What's more, many of these films are would-be blockbusters, including Mulan, Black Widow, and Wonder Woman 1984.
MGM was the first studio to postpone a major release, shocking fans when it announced Bond film No Time to Die would bow a full seven months later than planned. Since then, announcements have become commonplace, with many worrying how theaters and the movie industry will bounce back after the pandemic is over. Filming has also stopped around the globe, leaving even far-off release dates in question. Depending on how long this issue continues, some movies may not be able to make their planned release dates, even those in 2021.
This is clearly a concern for Sony, who per Variety, announced today that Uncharted, which was originally slated for March 5, 2021, will now be released October 8, 2021. Following several behind-the-scenes delays in the course of its development, Sony recently delayed production on the film indefinitely due to the coronavirus. This left many speculating if a release delay like this one was on the way for Uncharted.
