All the movies, TV shows and events cancelled or postponed by the Coronavirus

Today, A Quiet Place Part II became the latest movie to postpone its release date — it was going to come out on March 8 — in light of the global pandemic of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, which is affecting industries around the world. Director John Krasinski took to Instagram to break the news to fans:

This is very likely not the last movie or TV show to be affected like this. We thought we would catalog some of the news that’s already broken, and add new announcements as they come in.

• In reality shows, both Survivor and The Amazing Race have postponed their upcoming seasons. Series that require travel are immediately at risk.
• But the virus will affect other kinds of show, too. Riverdale is currently on hiatus because someone who works on the production — which films in Vancouver — came into contact with someone infected with COVID-19.
• A Quiet Place Part II isn’t the only film to have its release date pushed back due to the virus. The newest James Bond movie, No Time to Die, had its release delayed from April to November.
• Sony has pushed back the release date of Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway to August.
• It’s not just completed movies and shows that are being messed with. We’ve heard reports of production being delayed or halted on things like Mission: Impossible VII and Disney’s upcoming The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, although it’s unclear at this point if that’s going to affect the release dates of those projects.
• Plenty of big events have been cancelled or postponed over fear of the virus. These include SXSW in Austin, Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle and E3 in Los Angeles. Expect a lot more of that as things progress.
• CinemaCon 2020, an annual meeting between studios and theater owners, has been cancelled. It was going to happen in Las Vegas.
• The Nickelodeon’s Kid Choice Awards, which were going to be hosted by Chance the Rapper on March 22, have been postponed.
• The virus is affecting the world of sports, too. The NBA has suspended all games going forward, reportedly because of worries over the health of Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert.

• Obviously, concerts are hard hit by this, since they’re all about people gathering together in one place.  Coachella and Stagecoach are both being pushed back to the fall. Bikini Kill and They Might Be Giants are postponing North American tours, while Pearl Jam suspended an opening leg of an upcoming tour.

And let’s remember the reason that all these events are projects being cancelled or postponed: to prevent people from contracting the virus. The idea that no one was immune came home when it was announced that acting legend Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson had been infected while in Australia. They are currently in treatment.

Please stay safe. Consult the CDC for best practices.

We’ll update this post with more cancellations as they come in.

• The 2020 March Madness tournament has been called off.
