Marvel Black Widow solo movie was about to be released this March. But due to the deadly coronavirus which rapidly spread all around the world in matters of weeks.
Marvel Black Widow is not the only movie whose release date got extended. According to a source, Hollywood lost 20 billion dollars because of the deadly virus which is limiting people to stay inside their homes. It is good to prevent more casualties and the number of patients increasing daily. However, the situation in China is quite stable as compared to the previous weeks it seems to be getting worse in Italy and Iran.
Disney and MCU are famous for releasing their projects worldwide and they earn the big and high amounts at the box office because of their worldwide launch of the movies.
It makes sense why MCU has pushed the dates ahead. Governments all around the world are taking preventative measures to prevent the deadly virus from spreading and cinemas and public gatherings with more than 50 people are banned in most of the countries.
