== 9/11 ==
* A surprisingly large and recognizable number of media were delayed, modified, and/or never released due to 9/11. Rather than distributing them to their media slots, anything affected by 9/11 should be noted here. A Wikipedia page with a comprehensive list is [[wikipedia:List of audiovisual entertainment affected by the September 11 attacks|here]].
** ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' and ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' were technically completed around that time, but had their release dates pushed back so that [[Too Soon|potentially insensitive material]] could be edited out. With GTA, it was the NYPD coloring of the police cars, and with MGS, it was the scene where the Statue of Liberty gets destroyed.
** The movie ''[[Film/Collateral Damage|Collateral Damage]]'' was supposed to be released in October 2001 but was shelved for four months due to it terrorism theme while they re-edited the movie and created a new trailer.
*** ''[[Big Trouble]]'' and ''[[Bad Company]]'' were both delayed for the same reason.
** ''[[View From The Top]]'' was supposed to be released in late 2001, but was delayed until 2003 due to studios being uncomfortable releasing a film that made fun of flight attendants so soon after 9/11.
** The premiere of the anime version of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' was pushed to 2002 due to the 9/11 attacks and the main character's backstory of being a mercenary in Afghanistan, which was renamed to "Helmajistan".
** A teaser trailer for the first ''[[Spider-Man]]'' film had a web stretched between the two main towers of the World Trade Center, the movie poster also showed the WTC, both the teaser and the poster were quickly re-called after 9/11.

* ''[[RoboCop]] 3'' completed production in 1991, then sat on the shelf for two years while Orion Pictures went bankrupt. The film was eventually released in 1993 to weak box office and scathing reviews.
* A month before its scheduled release in theatres, Paramount Pictures announced that it would be shelving the completed ''[[G.I. Joe: Retaliation]]'' until March 2013, supposedly so they could make a 3D conversion as well. It was also rumored that the delay was caused by the weak domestic performance of ''[[Battleship (film)|Battleship]]'' (a fellow Hasbro property), and that the director of ''Retaliation'' didn't know the film was being delayed in the first place.
