After about a year of shifts and shakeups with the theatrical calendar, itâs a bit dizzying to anticipate whatâs coming next in movies, whether it be on streaming or in theaters. Not to mention that coming sooner than you may realize is the summer box office season, which is typically prime time to buy movie tickets and grab your popcorn. With that in mind, one major sequel has just moved itself up from June to May. What a nice change of pace!
Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway has just shifted up from its theatrical date on June 11, 2021 to the second week of May, per an announcement from Sony Pictures. The family film was originally going to come out in February 2020, before moving back to the following April. Then the COVID-19 pandemic saw it bunny hop down to August 2020 and was shifted a handful of other times before landing on its (hopefully) final date of May 14.

What to expect at this year s Golden Globes
The Golden Globes kicked off awards season Wednesday morning with nominations, but what will the show look like amid the pandemic?Robyn Beck/AFP via Getty Images, FILE
Pre-pandemic, no televised awards show was more wicked fun than the Golden Globes, which invited nominees from film and television to sit together at convivial tables where alcohol famously loosened tongues and made for fizzy acceptance speeches. Look no further than Olivia Colman who did a real loop-de-loop last year.

Deadline. The story identified a string of Chinese art thefts across Europe starting in 2010, including at the Chinese Pavilion at Stockholm’s Drottningholm Palace, the KODE Museum in Norway, and the Château de Fontainebleau outside of Paris.
“The full scale of the criminality is impossible to pinpoint, because many heists never make the headlines,” Palmer wrote. But the heists all appear to be professional jobs, and primarily targeted art and artifacts looted by foreign armies, with a special interest in objects that the British and French took from the Old Summer Palace in Beijing in 1860.
NEW YORK After a year where the pandemic nearly emptied movie theaters, Netflix dominated nominations to the 78th Golden Globe Awards on Wednesday, with David Fincher s Mank leading film nominees with six nods and The Crown topping all television series.
The Globes, delayed about two months due to the coronavirus, tried to muster some of the awards usual buzz on Wednesday in a largely virtual awards season bereft the kind of red-carpet glamour the Globes annually feast on. And perhaps to account for the otherwise lack of it, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association heaped nominations on two lavish period pieces rich in royalty both the Hollywood variety (the black-and-white Mank dramatizes the making of Citizen Kane ) and the British kind.
