Hollywood pressed pause on releasing most major films in theatres to combat the coronavirus outbreak, but that hasn't necessarily been the case for toys and merchandise related to those movies.

Despite film delays, toy production and gaming companies are often staying on schedule, releasing a variety of products tied to major titles from "Black Widow" to "Minions: The Rise of Gru" in hopes of weathering through the pandemic. Most products are already in retail stores, appearing on shelves and being sold online several months to a year ahead of the film's new release date.

Cinemas across the U.S. have been closed since mid-March with many film releases postponed for a later date. Some states are looking to soon reopen theatres. Marvel's "Black Widow" has been postponed until November, but products related to the film including toys and books along with characters from the film highlighted on a free-to-play mobile game. A collection of dolls are at retail stores for the live-action remake of the animated classic "Mulan," which was delayed until July 24.
