In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the industry will try to get back on its feet by making big titles available in theaters.

If people will come is still a very big mystery, but if they do, there will be a whole lot of options to choose from.

But titles are getting fewer to come by. But we may finally see "The New Mutants" by the time the summer is over.

Here are 9 movies opening this summer that could be shown in movie theaters.

Note: Titles taken off the list are Disney's "The One and Only Ivan" and "Mulan," as they will now be released on Disney Plus; "Wonder Woman 1984" moved off summer to October 2; "The Secret Garden" and "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run" will be On Demand; "The Broken Hearts Gallery" currently has a TBD release date; "A Quiet Place Part II" moved to 2021.
