Not just one Paramount movie is getting postponed this morning, but we heard that the studio’s April 3 action comedy The Lovebirds is also shifting following today’s big news that A Quiet Place Part II is not opening on Friday, March 20.
Lovebirds, directed by Michael Showalter, was to make its world premiere at SXSW. Some time before SXSW finally pulled the plug on this year’s fest last Friday, Showalter, and pic’s stars Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae said they weren’t traveling to Austin, but the film would stay play.
In SXSW’s stubbornness to cancel their fest, Lovebirds star Kumail Nanjiani was expressing great concerns about the coronavirus outbreak on Twitter as his wife is immunocompromised.
Paramount is also moving the March 20 limited release of its gang drama Blue Story which was set to go in New York and LA next Friday, March 20.
