Odds are if theaters are still closed, they'll do digital release instead.

The theater release date was likely planned in advance before any of the current problems started, and is still mostly just a hold-over. As the release date gets closer with no sign of theaters being open, there won't be much reason to retain it when they can just negotiate digital release terms/methods instead.

If anything, that might be the reason why they haven't announced a digital release date - there's a lot of admin involved with negotiating whether your movie is going to show up on cable/Hulu/Netflix/Disney+/etc, so they might still be working on a deal behind the scenes, so can't really announce a distribution platform yet. Even if everyone involved on the distribution side is fully aware this is never going to be in actual theaters.

My understanding is that the movie is being produced by MGM/UA, and I'm not sure if they have any preferential arrangements with any existing streaming services. So it's harder to predict where it might go than it would if, for instance, a studio like Disney was involved.
