Will the summer movie season start in July 2020, or another date

It is May 2020, and the summer movie season would have started this month with 'Black Widow.' Instead, the movie theaters are shut down due to covid-19. The movie theaters might open in July 2020, as 'Tenet' and 'Mulan' have release dates in end of that month. In August, Wonder Woman 1984 would be one of the big blockbusters. Bill & Ted 3 will be another big blockbuster to hit the theaters, at the end of August 2020. Peter Rabbit 2 is another flick that could entice viewers, in August 2020. In addition, the summer movie season should expand until October 2020, as it may start in July 2020. September through December 2020 will have big flicks like 'Black Widow'; and 'No Time To Die.' With these movies releasing at dates that are unusual, the Academy Awards should be postponed until April 2021. This opinion is mine, but the real date is February 28, 2021. The awards season may include less movies from theaters, as many movies went the digital streaming route. Furthermore, many movies could be released in late Fall or early Winter. The christmas season would be flooded with Best Picture contenders, which is kind of an anomaly. If there are some good movies in January or February 2021, then these flicks should qualify for the Academy Awards 2021 show. All the movies and the release dates are subject to change. Movie theaters are not open now, and they will not open in June 2020 due to the lack of movies nationwide. For other movie fans, people are catching up on tv shows and older movies these days. If you have amazon prime; netflix; or other vod (video on demand) subscriptions; life can be sweeter with the older flicks to rent. It was good for me to catch up on Deadpool; Ant-Man; etc. It was great to see 'pitch perfect' movies; but lousy to see 'twilight' flicks. As this post ends, let's hope that tv shows and movies come back in the 2nd half of this year. Peace!!
