Since the beginning of the year, cinemas first closed in China, then across much of Europe and other parts of Asia, and finally in the world’s biggest market, the US. With nowhere to be screened, big-ticket blockbusters such as the latest James Bond title, No Time to Die, and the live-action remake of Disney’s Mulan postponed their release dates. However, a few other movies managed to squeeze their way out onto the big screens as well as streaming services. Here are a few of those you might have missed probably whiles screaming at the effrontery of 2020.
