While Mulan is still scheduled to be released on July 24th, it's unclear whether that movie will meet its planned release date. Initially, it was set to follow Tenet, but Christopher Nolan's latest blockbuster is now coming at the end of July, and that means there will be at least a week or two (or three!) with nothing new playing on the big screen.

Well, in a bid to help exhibitors bring moviegoers back to theaters, it's been confirmed that Disney is offering them a wide range of titles, including The Avengers, The Empire Strikes Back, and Iron Man

There are also family friendly films like Inside Out and The Greatest Showman, but it will be the chance to see movies like those listed above for the first time on the silver screen which will really excite a lot of people. After all, a 16-year-old fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would have been only four when Iron Man was released, so...yeah, that probably makes a lot of you feel old! 

Check out the tentative list of titles below, and stay tuned for more on Disney's plans as we have them.

I understand that people want 'new' movies in theaters, but that's not happening as of now. In my country theaters are reopened and I've seen Back to the Future on the big screen already, and Shawshank Redemption this Thursday, and in the next two weeks they will be showing the Dark Knight trilogy. All movies that I love and have seen countless times, but never in a movie theater on the big screen. I really like that studios are doing this and you can revisit (or even a first time watch) movies that are classics.

@Tcb97 - Would love to see Back To The Future on the big screen. Probably wont go to see any of the ones on this list, like seriously some of them I own and others its only been a few years. If im going to watch something old in theaters, I want it to be something before my time like Back To The Future or Rocky (which is my favorite film) or something I REALLY love, like The Dark Knight Trilogy, which I did actually watch a marathon of the week Dark Knight Rises came out. Was great to see Batman Begins and The Dark Knight on the big screen again

@TakesTwoToTorgo - Always great to see stuff like that. When The Dark Knight Rises came out, me and my dad went to a marathon showing, started at 6 in the afternoon and ended at around 3 in the morning, was tired and hungry but so worth it.

I know some people would like new movies in theaters, but with the current climate this is the smartest decision movie theaters and studios can make. Re-release classic movies and blockbusters. Test the waters to see where audiences are at and if they are willing to come back.

But re-releasing old films is not the only part of this equation. This pandemic should have forced the theater industry to take a long, hard look at how to restructure their model to get butts back in seats. Lower the prices of admission, offer deals, discount food, something.

For safety, I hope mandatory masks isn't all they have going. I believe some theaters have spaced out seats in theaters by removing every third or fourth chair. If others are following this example, then perfect. With AMC having filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy and other theater chains in jeopardy, I hope management is looking into long-term solutions for an industry that was dying - with or without Covid-19.

I had to file Chapter 11 for a production company I ran years ago. Most stressful time of my life. But in hindsight, learned so much and the bankruptcy cover gave me all the time I needed to restructure. Here's to hoping for the best for the movie industry. Even if it appears it's entirely dependent on that damned juggernaut Disney.
