Clifford the Big Red Dog Delayed Amid Concerns Over Delta Variant

Paramount Pictures looks to be rethinking its release plan for its upcoming live-action film Clifford the Big Red Dog, according to a recent report from Deadline. 

Paramount has moved the planned September 17, 2021 release for the film, citing concerns over the still spreading delta variant of COVID-19. While the film is complete and is highly anticipated by some, it’s less likely that families will be traveling to movie theaters to see it in the current climate. 

Instead, the report notes, Paramount Pictures will look for a new U.S. release date, with the initial reports noting that September 22 could be a date, but that the film instead currently has no release date whatsoever. Clifford the Big Red Dog was also set to screen at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, although it’s unclear whether or not the film will still be there after the change in release date.
