John Wick 4, Spiral Releases Both Postponed a Year

Lionsgate has postponed the releases of several of its biggest upcoming films, including John Wick: Chapter 4, due to the coronavirus pandemic. John Wick: Chapter 4, Spiral: From the Book of Saw, and The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard have each been pushed back a year from their original release dates. The fourth installment of the John Wick action franchise was originally slated to hit theaters on May 21, 2021, but has been pushed back to May 27, 2022. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] John Wick 4's original 2021 release date would have seen it open against The Matrix 4, another highly anticipated sequel starring Keanu Reeves. That sci-fi film's shooting has been disrupted due to the industrywide shutdown. The Saw franchise reboot/sequel Spiral was supposed to open this month, but now won't open until May 21, 2021 (yes, the original release date for John Wick 4). Meanwhile, Lionsgate has also pushed The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard to August 20, 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/saw-story-in-5-minutes-sort-of-2020-update"] The studio also rescheduled its psychological thriller Antebellum to August 21, 2020. The releases of Chaos Walking (January 22, 2021) and Nicolas Cage's The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (March 19, 2021) are staying put.
