No Time to Die is one of several films to be pushed back in the last day, with Sony and MGM announcing the delays of Cinderella, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Uncharted. This also comes in the midst of rumors that Disney may be pushing back Black Widow, the next installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the continuing theater closures proving to be a hindrance to business.
