The novel coronavirus, which began infecting people in China in January, has since spread rapidly across the globe. The coronavirus outbreak has brought with it a wave of cancellations, reschedulings, and postponements—in conferences, sporting events, political rallies, and other major public gatherings. Many schools and businesses are shutting down temporarily as well, in accordance with the CDC’s recommendation to limit public gatherings and large community events. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has banned large gatherings, and similar actions are happening across the country. The outbreak has already caused seismic shifts in the world of sports. Disney’s California theme parks are closed for the remainder of March starting March 14, while their Florida locations close starting March 16. But theaters are going to have a run for their money this year, too, with most major studios pulling their movies from distribution slates until the fall and many film festivals either postponing or canceling. Production has halted on high-profile projects like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Riverdale, The Morning Show, and Marvel’s Shang-Chi. All Broadway shows have been suspended as of March 12, and production on some shows, like Grey’s Anatomy and a number of late-night programs, has been suspended, meaning they will not be airing for several weeks. The fate of other major films and events, like Black Widow and the Cannes Film Festival, is less certain, with distribution studios and organizing committees likely crossing their fingers and hoping the coronavirus’ stateside spread doesn’t worsen in April and May. Update: Black Widow has been postponed. With new coronavirus cancellations seemingly happening on the daily, here are the major effects the entertainment industry is experiencing. (Projects, festivals, and events have been postponed, meaning they have been pulled from the schedule and their new dates have not been announced; rescheduled, meaning new dates have been announced; or canceled, meaning they won’t happen in any capacity this year.)
