Hollywood, July 26 (RHC)-- Walt Disney Co postponed the debut of its movie "Mulan" indefinitely and delayed the next film installments from two of its biggest franchises, "Avatar" and "Star Wars", by one year.

"Mulan" was scheduled to reach theaters in March but its release has been postponed several times as many cinemas remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.  The film had most recently been set to debut on August 21st and theater operators had hoped it would help spark a late-summer rebound for movie-going.

"Avatar" and "Star Wars" sequels, which were delayed due to disruption to production, are now set to debut in theaters in December 2022 and December 2023, respectively.
