Earlier slated to hit theaters on May 1, the Scarlett Johansson starrer is now postponed to an unannounced date.

Earlier due to the Coronavirus outbreak, Disney had also postponed releases of its flicks like Mulan, The New Mutants and Antlers. The studio waited quite a while to not effect its big release, however with no other option left the Scarlett Johansson starrer will face the same fate, denting the studio’s pocket for an estimated $150 to $200 million.

Disney, however, is not the only studio to take forced measures on the back of Coronavirus. Universal pushed back its Fast & Furious installment F9, MGM postponed its James Bond No Time to Die and Paramount’s A Quiet Place 2 suffered the same fate at the hands of the pandemic.
