To date, the 2020 movie calendar has been a shuffleboard. With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and theaters struggling to maintain business while taking new safety measures, studios have moved movies to streaming platforms or future dates.
Though Christopher Nolan's blockbuster "Tenet" did open in theaters, the majority of bigger titles, including "Wonder Woman 1984," an upcoming remake of "Candyman," the ninth "Fast and Furious" movie and a host of others have postponed release dates. Still, other titles remain optimistic, setting a release date for the coming months.
If a solution can be implemented and theaters can maintain protocols, this fall's movie calendar has bright spots, including what could be Daniel Craig's final turn as James Bond in "No Time to Die," Dreamworks Animation's "Connected" and an award contender titled "Ammonite," starring Kate Winslet.
Here's a list of the movies scheduled to be released through Nov. 25. Most of the titles will be available on demand; dates are subject to change.
