The Tribune's fall movie preview: The world's largest 'release dates subject to change' disclaimer ever

Journalists hope that what they write resonates, remains true for all time — but we know a news story, that “first draft of history,” can be ephemeral.

A fall movie preview while the world still grapples with a pandemic turned out to have the lifespan of a mayfly. Not long after this preview was printed, several of the movie titles mentioned — “Black Widow” and “No Time to Die,” most notably — were whisked off the fall schedule and into next spring. And Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” moved an entire year, from this Christmas season to next.
