Why was this made?
“To avoid catastrophic losses to the studios, these titles must have the fullest possible theatrical release around the world.”
National Association of Theater Owners
As you can see, most of the films where pushed back to a movie that previously held that day. We hope these dates won’t change anymore but we can never truly know.
As said by Variety, that “sources at Disney note that release dates for all films could continue to move given the uncertainty over the global health crisis.”
What are your thoughts of these Disney films new release dates? Which one are you most excited to see?
