Other studios have made a number of similar announcements recently. Universal rescheduled Halloween Kills from October 2020 to the same month in 2021. Warner Bros. pushed Godzilla vs. Kong from November of this year to May 2021.

其他电影公司近期也发布了一系列类似的通知。环球影业把《万圣节：杀戮》的档期从2020年10月改为2021年10月。华纳兄弟电影公司把《哥斯拉大战金刚》的档期从今年11月推迟到2021年5月。

Hollywood studios are in an extraordinarily difficult position. If they wait much longer to release their films in theaters, there might not be any theaters left to show the films. As it is, the major theater chains are hanging on by a thread, generating zero revenue while still having to pay rent. But if studios release movies now, they’ll be doing so without the largest film market in the world (the US) and would be inviting unprecedented levels of piracy as Americans, desperate for new films, could resort to illegally watching recordings from other countries. Neither option is good, but the latter one would at least help the theater industry stave off total annihilation.

好莱坞电影公司的处境尤为艰难。如果他们还要等很久才能在影院上映电影，到时候可能没有电影院可以放映影片了。实际上，现在大型连锁影院已经朝不保夕，在没有收入的同时还要支付租金。但如果电影公司现在上映电影，他们将失去世界上最大的电影市场
