NEW YORK 鈥� Warner Bros. on Tuesday delayed the summer release of 鈥淲onder Woman 1984鈥� and removed the adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's 鈥淚n the Heights鈥� from its schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic.

With much of Hollywood's spring release calendar already vacated due to the virus, major summer movies are also increasingly reshuffling. 鈥淲onder Woman 1984,鈥� the sequel to 2017's 鈥淲onder Woman,鈥� will now hit theatres on Aug. 14 instead of June 5.

鈥淚n the Heights," directed by 鈥淐razy Rich Asians鈥� filmmaker Jon M. Chu, had been slated for June 26 but now isn't dated for release. Miranda, in a recent livestream interview with Rosie O'Donnell, said the score was being recorded when post-production work slowed due to the outbreak.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot that remains to be done on that movie," said Miranda. "We were finishing the score and the mixing and just getting the music exactly right.鈥�

The studio also took several other films off its release schedule including the 鈥淪cooby-Doo鈥� movie 鈥淪coob," previously planned for May 15, and the James Wan thriller 鈥淢alignant," previously set for Aug. 14.

Several likely spring and summer blockbusters have already been delayed, including Marvel's 鈥淏lack Widow鈥� (previously May 1, now unscheduled); the 鈥淔ast and Furious鈥� movie 鈥淔9," (now slated for 2021); the Bond movie 鈥淣o Time to Die鈥� (moved to November); and 鈥淎 Quiet Place Part II鈥� (not currently dated).

While some recent releases have moved to streaming platforms or on-demand with theatres closed, Hollywood's top productions have opted to wait until they can play in cinemas.

鈥淲e made 鈥榃onder Woman 1984鈥� for the big screen and I believe in the power of cinema,鈥� director Patty Jenkins said on Twitter. 鈥淚n these terrible times, when theatre owners are struggling as so many are, we are excited to re-date our film to August 14th, 2020, in a theatre near you, and pray for better times for all by then.鈥�
