Media roundup: Google to cut big checks for news publishers, Substack continues to draw top creators, more

This time, weve got some bad news for movie theaters, the specter of antitrust regulation and a new career path for journalists.

Either way, Warner Brothers and other studios are clearly spooked by the results and have pushed nearly all of their theatrical releases until next year, with knock-on effects for the movies that were already scheduled for 2021. For example, Warners Dune is being delayed until October 2021, and Daniel Craigs final Bond entry, No Time To Die, was pushed back from November until April.

At this point, there are few Hollywood blockbusters on the calendar until Christmas, when Wonder Woman 1984 is due for release.

The United Kingdoms Cineworld, which also operates Regal Cinemas in the U.S., announced that its closing its theaters indefinitely.
