Universal Studios, the company behind the “Fast & Furious” franchise, made the decision because of the impact that the fast-moving covid19 is having on the global economy and the distribution landscape. Theaters remain closed in Italy, South Korea and China, where the virus has hit hardest. There’s also a mounting sense that some theaters will close in the U.S. as the outbreak continues to spread. “Fast 9” will now open globally in April 2021 and in the U.S. on April 2.
This was made known via the Fast 9 verified twitter account as they posted, "We feel all the love and the anticipation you have for the next chapter in our saga,” he wrote. “That’s why it’s especially tough to let you know that we have to move the release date of the film. It’s become clear that it won’t be possible for all of our fans around the world to see the film this May.
While we know there is disappointment in having to wait a little while longer, this move is made with the safety of everyone as our foremost consideration,”
