Such preventative measures include cancelling public gatherings, issuing quarantine orders, and, of course, shutting down movie theaters. Many outlets are reporting that the United States may follow the example of these overseas territories with regard to theater closures.

Fast and Furious 9 was scheduled to open in theaters on May 22, 2020. Now, it will arrive on cinema screens on April 2, 2021. International release dates are apparently being ironed out, but the intention is to launch the ninth Fast film worldwide in April of next year. Don't expect to see Fast & Furious 9 anytime soon!
