Last Updated: October 22, 2020
Get ready for everything that’s coming in 2020 with our movie release date calendar. With Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe getting underway and Star Wars taking a break until 2022 (as far as films go), 2020 was shaping up to be an interesting time for movies. That is until the Coronavirus came along to throw the world at large, and Hollywood into turmoil.
As a result, just about every big release after March has ended up pushed out of its scheduled 2020 slot, moving to 2021, or in some cases 2022. In the meantime, theaters struggle to stay afloat, as little new content has left them in a bad spot financially.
Still, there remains some worthwhile movies to come, and that’s where Screen Rant’s 2020 Movie Release Date Calendar comes in. Obviously, there are probably going to be further changes coming in the months ahead, but (as always) we’ll strive to keep this list as up to date as possible.
