Disney has changed its plans for an upcoming family flick, Pixar's Turning Red, after the movie studios seemed to be returning to theatrical premiere for all movies for the first time since the Pandemic started. It will premiere on Disney Plus, but not in theaters, instead on March 11th.
There is no plan for a video-on-demand setup like the one the company arranged for Mulan. It will be available to all subscribers in the same way that Pixar's last two animated features, Soul and Luca, were, with a 30-day run that saw it arrive on Disney Plus in time for Christmas.
In a statement about Turning Red, the chairman of Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution said that flexibility remains at the core of the distribution decisions as they prioritize delivering.
While Spider-Man: No Way Home broke box office records less than a month ago, a spike in COVID-19 cases could push certain films back to streaming. Sony Pictures recently adjusted the release date of Morbius from January 28th to April 1st.
