LOS ANGELES — The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is starting to feel a little cursed. On Friday, the museum pushed back its opening to Sept. 30, 2021, from April 30, citing the virus and difficulty forecasting when public life may begin to normalize. The pandemic already scuppered a planned opening this week. “With the current surge of Covid-19, it would be irresponsible to maintain an April opening,” Bill Kramer, the museum’s director and president, said by phone. This month, for instance, Warner Bros. said it would still be too difficult to release movies normally by next December because of the pandemic.
