revealed
that
the
studio
is
moving
the
release
date
of
Niki
Caro's
Mulan
from

12.
The
big

in
the
coming
months
will
mostly
come
from
Warner
Bros.,
Disney
and
Paramount,
and
all
have
moved
their
releases
to
August,
with
COVID-19
cases
surging
in
the
US.
As
theatres
in
big
cities
like
New
York
and
Los
Angeles
are
yet
to
open,
according
to
reports,
California
has
provided
new
guidelines
for
cinemas
to
reopen.
However,
Los
Angeles
County
hasn't
given
permission
to
open
the
cinemas
and
neither
are
the
viewers
ready
to
hit
the
theatres.

"While
the
pandemic
has
changed
our
release
plans
for
Mulan
and
we
will
continue
to
be
flexible
as
conditions
require,
it
has
not
changed
our
belief
in
the
power
of
this
film
and
its
message
of
hope
and
perseverance."

Niki

and
our
cast
and
crew
have
created
a
beautiful,
epic,
and
moving
film
that
is
everything
the
cinematic
experience
should
be,
and
that's
where
we
believe
it
belongs
-
on
the
world
stage
and
the
big
screen
for
audiences
around
the
globe
to
enjoy
together."
