Hollywood productions and promotional tours around the world have been put on indefinite hold as actors join writers on the picket lines as they seek new contracts with studios and streaming services.
Late-night talk shows and many television productions were put on long-term hiatus due to the writers strike, movie tentpoles, some in mid-production, have shut down too from Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” sequel to “Deadpool 3,” and studios are also pushing some of their completed films into 2024 as well.
On Thursday, Warner Bros. reshuffled several films, notably moving “Dune 2” from November to March 2024. The studio also shifted the release date of a “Lord of the Rings” movie that will now arrive in theaters in December 2024.
Here’s a selected look at shows and films in suspension.
