Warners isn't ceding the 2021 fall date entirely. Instead, it will now open Dune on Oct. 1.
Other major changes include the untitled fourth The Matrix movie moving up from April 1, 2022, to Dec. 22, 2021.
On the DC front, The Flash, starring Ezra Miller as the speedy superhero, is moving back from June 3, 2022 to Nov. 4, 2022. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is leaving that Nov. 4, 2022 date and is shifting to June 2, 2023, while Dwayne Johnson spinoff Black Adam is moving off its Dec. 22, 2021 slot and is now undated.
In other changes: the videogame adaptation Minecraft is exiting its March 4, 2022 date and is now undated.
Outside of Warners' and Legendary's Dune, which has completed filming, the reason for many of the shifts are production delays. The Batman, for example, shut down in March amid the coronavirus pandemic, and only a few days after resuming production in London, was shut down again on Sept. 3 after Pattinson tested positive for coronavirus. Following Pattinson successfully quarantining, filming resumed on Sept. 17.
Dune’s new date comes after Warners had to push its high-profile superhero sequel Wonder Woman 1984 from Oct. 2 of this year to Dec. 25, 2020. No studio wants to compete against itself. For now, Warners is keeping Wonder Woman 1984 at its December date.
Earlier in the evening, rival studio Sony made changes to its calendar as well. The studio will open Stage 6 Films' The Kid Detective next week on Oct. 16, and has moved the Milla Jovovich video game adaptation Monster Hunter up four months to Dec. 30, 2020, helping give theaters at least some new films at a time when they are desperate to lure audiences back, even if it's with smaller titles.
