Disney has pushed back ‘Black Widow’ and ‘The Eternals’

Disney has delayed the releases of some of the company’s biggest upcoming films, including “Black Widow” and “The Eternals.”

• “Black Widow” — which was set to be released on Nov. 6 — will move to May 7, 2021.
• “The Eternals” will move to Nov. 5, 2021.
• “Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” will shift to July 7, 2021.
• Originally, “Eternals” was set to follow “Black Widow” with “Shang-Chi” right after. Instead, it looks like “Shang-Chi” will be released first.

Why the switch:

Variety reports that Disney considered changing the dates once seeing “Tenet” pulled low numbers at the box office after its debut.
