The list of film getting delayed is increasing with No Time To Die, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaways and just today The Quiet Place Part II all getting put back.
The viral outbreak is making a difference to the box office as evidence by last weekends results and with no end in sight you can't blame the studios.
Getting put back to 2021 is a strange move but Easter/Spring is clearly the best time of year for this Billion dollar franchise.
Director John Krasinski has announced that the release date for A Quiet Place Part II has been put back from its original March 19th date.

The sequel to the original 2018 hit movie has joined No Time To Die and Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaways in changing the release because of the global pandemic.
Authorities have advised that because of the coronavirus it is best to avoid large crowds in an attempt to contain the virus.
As seen in last weeks box office across the world the public is choosing not to go the movie theatres, and for potential blockbusters this could have a large effect on their box office gross.
No new release date has been announced, but world governments seem to be suggesting things will be readdressed in early April.
After the original Peter Rabbit took a very respectable $351 Million globally (£41 Million in the UK) a sequel was inevitable, and Sony have released a new trailer for the March film.

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway stars the voice talent of James Corden as Peter and this time he is joined by Margot Robbie and Rose Byrne.
The film is subtitled The Runaways and in the trailer we see them .... well running away.
The original movie didn't get good reviews, but this is a movie aimed well and truly at kids, its released on 27th March 2020, just in time for the Easter Holidays, and after the Gavin and Stacy Christmas Special we are all in love with James Cordon!
