As the SAG-AFTRA strike continues to keep Hollywood at a virtual standstill, studios are beginning to shuffle around various film projects on the horizon.
With the inability for SAG-AFTRA members to do any sort of promotion for upcoming projects, some films have been pushed off the calendar to future releases to better accommodate the possibility for press to take place.
Awards campaigns would be included in that promotional block.
Other films could possibly be delayed in the days and weeks to come as production delays move certain projects off their targeted windows.
Variety reported on Thursday that major Warner Bros. fall releases like Dune: Part Two, The Color Purple and Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom could all move from their planned release dates, though those have not happened yet.

However, a few films projects have already made the shift. Let’s take a look at what films you’re going to have to wait a bit longer for on the calendar.
This list will be updated if more film delays are announced.
