The latest iteration of the Frank Herbert story DUNE will no longer be released in December of 2020. Instead, the release date for DUNE, the newest DUNE, will be approximately a year (minus a few days) from today. That'll be October 1, 2021, when we'll (hopefully) be out of this global pandemic long enough to head in to a movie theater to see the film as it was made to be seen.
The Witches, the latest movie inspired by the classic Roald Dahl children's book (not to be mistaken with the 1990 movie), is the latest flick to skip theaters in favor of a home streaming release. The reason is exactly what you expect: the pandemic has tossed the movie industry into chaos, resulting in many delayed theatrical releases and, in some cases, the decision to skip theaters entirely in favor of a digital premiere.
For quite some time now, we've been hearing rumors about a Harry Potter RPG that's being crafted by Warner Bros' Avalanche Software. The game suffered a few different leaks and has been the subject of a lot of speculation among Harry Potter fans, and today, it was finally revealed.

It looks like Rocksteady is almost ready to reveal its next superhero game.

The upcoming Christopher Nolan movie Tenet, a title that is expected to be one of the year's biggest films, has been delayed once again. Originally scheduled for release in July, the movie was later bumped to August amid a larger reshuffle caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Warner Bros. has made the decision to delay the movie yet again, but this time it is keeping the next release date a secret.
Christopher Nolan's Tenet was supposed to be one of the biggest movie releases of the summer, but it seems the COVID-19 pandemic is making Warner Bros push the movie's release back. The good news is that while Tenet is getting delayed again, it isn't getting delayed by much - instead of releasing on July 31st, Warner Bros will instead be release Tenet in mid-August.
The superhero-based fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition is now free to download on both major consoles and PC. The game was released in 2013 as a title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, both of which are obviously now defunct.

We already know about Lord of the Rings game on the horizon which focuses on Gollum, but Warner Bros has revealed that another is in development as well. Dubbed The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War, Warner Bros has confirmed that it's partnered with NetEase for this new mobile title - yes, this isn't a big-budget console or PC game. For that reason, it's probably best not to get too excited about this game just yet.
The upcoming superhero flick Wonder Woman 1984 has been delayed once again, this time from August to October. The move comes amid a number of recent movie date changes, including an adjustment to the hotly anticipated Tenet from Christopher Nolan.

For the better part of a year now, Warner Media - the parent company of HBO - has been touting a new streaming service called HBO Max. Meant to be something of a beefed up HBO Now, the new streaming service will look more like Netflix or Hulu when it arrives. In addition to being the new home for all of HBO's content, it'll also feature TV shows from other studios, original programming, and some of Warner Bros's films.
HBO Max has teamed with Warner Bros. Pictures Group to launch a new feature film production label that'll create original movies for the streaming service. The companies are kicking things off with plans for eight to 10 'mid-budget' movies annually, enabling the service to compete with companies like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.

Sadly, and as expected for a teaser, Epic is withholding quite a few details.
