economictimes.indiatimes.com:

According to reports earlier, one of the major studios, Disney, is reevaluating its film release schedule for the remainder of the year. The strike has created uncertainty about the actors' ability to promote the movies, prompting Disney to consider potential delays for titles like «Poor Things,» «Next Goal Wins,» «Wish,» and «Magazine Dreams,» all originally slated for release this year.

Now, Sony Pictures Entertainment has recently decided to postpone the release of two major films: «Kraven the Hunter» and a sequel to "Ghostbusters: Afterlife." This move joins other studios' actions in removing big-budget movies from the 2023 release calendar, causing concern for theaters and disappointing fans. Sony has also pushed back some of its significant releases planned for 2024, such as «Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse» and a new «Karate Kid» installment.

In an attempt to navigate around the limitations posed by the strike, they have implemented a unique strategy for the film «Gran Turismo,» which involves sneak previews before its wide release. Meanwhile, Warner Bros.

is contemplating whether to delay the release of «Dune: Part Two,» «Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,» and «The Color Purple,» all scheduled for the holiday season in 2023. Looking ahead, the 2024 release calendar appears to be bustling, with Sony announcing a range of exciting films, including «Madame Web,» another «Ghostbusters» sequel, a «Bad Boys» sequel, a «Venom» sequel, «Kraven the Hunter,» and «Karate Kid.» The actors' strike has presented considerable challenges for studios in promoting their upcoming projects.
