The worldwide release date for the live-action Mulan, which was to open in theaters in the United States on March 27, 2020, has been postponed. Additionally, the release dates for The New Mutants (originally April 3) and Antlers (originally April 17) are postponed indefinitely.

No new release date was mentioned in director Niki Caro's message to fans:

This announcement by Disney follows news yesterday by Paramount Pictures that involved A Quiet Place Part II, Blue Story, and The Lovebirds.

Already Purchased Advance Tickets?

If you've purchased advance tickets for these movies, you will need to contact the ticket seller (theater, Fandango, etc.) for information about a refund.

For information about contacting Fandango: I'm having a problem with my ticket purchase

To contact a theater, please see the Contact Information page for the theater in question. Please see: How Do I Contact a Theater Directly?

This is an unfortunate development, but completely understandable. Disney wants as many people seeing these movies as possible, and worldwide events have a tendency to shift things like this.

Mulan looks like it might be a very good movie, in that it is using the basic story structure that Disney put forth in the animated Mulan from 1998, but not a scene-by-scene live action remake a la The Lion King from last year.
