Taking their lead from plentiful other movies, two more pictures have had their big-screen release pulled due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.

The latest films to be put on hold as the entertainment industry continues to be engulfed by uncertainty are Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and James DeMonaco’s The Forever Purge.

Last Night in Soho had initially been set for a September 25 release by Focus Features, but that movie has now been completely pulled from Focus’ release schedule. Anya Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie star in the ‘60s-set claustrophobic horror.

As for The Forever Purge, Universal has likewise pulled the fifth Purge feature from its July 10 release and has yet to announce a new release for the picture. This comes hot on the heels of last week’s news that USA Network has cancelled The Purge TV series after two seasons.
