Edit Request: Enola Holmes was set to be theatrical until COVID 19 pushed it back.

[1]

According to composer Enola Holmes Daniel Pemberton, the movie starring Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill is going straight to Netflix because of the pandemic instead of theaters like originally. We should add this film to the canceled theatrical releases section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.158.85.214 (talk) 00:19, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be better if the information were at the article about the movie itself. A more generic statement (surely there's a source which says something along these lines, no?), instead of haphazardly picking examples, would be more appropriate here (i.e. "the theatrical release of many/most/... movies was delayed, and some were instead released via online streaming services").

How much mention should we make of delayed movies?

I frankly think that, per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE, we shouldn't be striving to mention every single movie whose release was delayed. Why? Because surely there will be a whole lot of them. Maybe, in a few months time, if one of those movies wins a notable award (i.e. see WP:TOOSOON) or the like we could possibly write "The theatrical release of many movies, including examples such as [Oscar/other award of your choice]-winning [title1] and [title2], was delayed. Some, [including ...], were instead released via streaming services." In the meantime, we should just write; "The theatrical release of many movies was delayed. Some were instead released via streaming services." What do you think? RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:58, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How do I merge two sources into one?

Inception (the 10th anniversary version of it, anyway) and Tenet, both of which are Christopher Nolan films, have both been delayed to July 31 and August 12, respectively. I cited one source, but for some weird reason, this website mistook them as two sources. How do I merge the "two" into one complete source?

Run Sweetheart Run release

According to The Numbers, the release section in the article Run Sweetheart Run says that the film was pulled from Blumhouse Tilt's May 8, 2020 schedule due to the cinema closures since mid-March because of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[1]

Deadline Hollywood reported in May that the distribution rights to Run Sweetheart Run were purchased by Amazon Studios, and they will release it digitally on Prime Video.[2]

Split off film lists?

This article is extremely long and unwieldy, and half of it is taken up by the lists and tables of films delayed, suspended, etc. I think these would be better off in their own article, say, "List of films impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic". Thoughts? - DoubleCross (‡) 20:11, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move films to categories

New suggestion to resolve the ever-growing list: remove all the lists. Affected films with discussion in sources should get some discussion here, but we can create appropriate categories and place all the rest in them. Suggestions for categories:

And anything else applicable. Kingsif (talk) 19:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingsif: We already have Category:Film productions suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Category:Films not released in theaters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Category:Films postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I think those cover all that we need, with perhaps Category:Films postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic getting further refined. I don't feel we need that level of specificity for the production cats you suggested. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Beyond those three, I think we at least need the re-release category. There's at least two 10th anniversary theatrical releases on the list, that wouldn't be appropriately covered. Kingsif (talk) 20:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I could see that, but are there currently enough to populate a category? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:23, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
