As movie theaters shutter amid the current pandemic, some studios are opting to make your home into a multiplex in the time of coronavirus, streaming films such as The Hunt and The Invisible Man, among others. But those are largely films that had the unlucky timing of dropping right before social distancing descended upon the nation.

The movies slated to arrive in theaters through March, April and May, however, are a different story, with a pin now put in the release of everything from Black Widow to Fast 9, Bond 25 to the Quiet Place follow-up. Considering the uncertainty around the timeline of COVID-19, many have been left temporarily undated.
