The release date for Gerard Butler's upcoming sci-fi thriller 'Greenland' has been shifted by STX from September 25 to an undisclosed date in the fourth quarter in the United States. According to Variety, the decision by the studios comes in the light of the ongoing coronavirus crisis and soaring cases in North America. The film had opened in overseas territories like Belgium, France and Scandinavia earlier this year. Meryl Streep Praises Her Mary Poppins Returns Co-star Dick Van Dyke, Says ‘He Brings a Theatrical Sense of Joy’

The film was originally scheduled to release on June 12 in North America but has since been delayed four times.
