“Fast & Furious<\/a>” fans will have to wait a\u00a0bit longer<\/a>\u00a0to see the next installment in the\u00a0blockbuster series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Universal<\/a>\u00a0is once again delaying “F9,” the ninth movie in the action franchise, pushing the film from a Memorial Day weekend release on May 28 to June 25.<\/div>\n
The film, which stars Vin Diesel as Los Angeles street racer turned international spy Dominic Toretto, has been delayed multiple times because of the Covid pandemic. F9 was initially scheduled to hit theaters on May 22, 2020 but was pushed back\u00a0an entire year.<\/a><\/div>\n
This delay comes just days after President Joe Biden announced that the US will have\u00a0enough vaccine available to inoculate every adult by the end of May.<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The schedule change also follows news that New York City, one of the most vital movie markets in the country,\u00a0will reopen its theaters at limited capacity this weekend<\/a>\u00a0for the first time since the pandemic hit.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
It makes sense that Universal would give “F9” \u2014 the latest installment in the 20-year-old franchise \u2014 more runway since there’s a strong chance that vaccine distribution could surge by June.<\/div>\n
As more people are vaccinated, there’s a likelihood that more theaters will not only open, but boost their capacities. New York City theaters can currently open at only 25% capacity. That’s a lot of empty seats for a billion dollar brand like “Fast & Furious.”<\/div>\n
By pushing to June, Universal is also banking on “F9” being the first true blockbuster of the summer, the most lucrative season for the film industry.<\/div>\n
Right now the big film on the schedule before June is Marvel’s “Black Widow,” which is set for May 7. However, it’s still possible that\u00a0Disney\u00a0(DIS<\/a><\/span>)\u00a0will decide to move that film to later in the season to grab a potentially bigger audience as well.<\/div>\n
“F9” is not the only film that Universal is delaying.<\/div>\n
The studio also announced that it will postpone Illumination’s “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” the next animated film in the “Despicable Me” franchise. The film’s release will be pushed back an entire year to July 1, 2022.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
