Fast & Furious 9 - also known simply as F9 - has pushed its May 2020 release date to nearly one year later. F9 will now come to theatres in April 2021. The film is the latest of several to take such a step, which is motivated by public health concerns and the economic status of the exhibition industry.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, people are being discouraged from gathering publicly in large groups. It's also a possibility that movie theatres in North America could temporarily shutdown in the coming weeks.
