Disney+ Debut Considered For Upcoming Live-Action Movies CRUELLA, PETER PAN AND WENDY, And PINOCCHIO

While there's now hope for a COVID-19 vaccine in the near future, Disney is said to be considering sending movies like Cruella, Peter Pan and Wendy, and Pinocchio straight to its streaming service...

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Wonder Woman 1984 will arrive in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day. It could be a one-off or a sign of things to come, but the release window between when movies arrive on the big screen and PVOD has already been shortened for some studios, so it seems clear that there will be some big changes post-pandemic. 

While it was reported yesterday that there are currently no plans for blockbusters like Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings to head straight to Disney+, it appears the studio is considering making the streaming service a home for its upcoming live-action Disney adaptations. 

Deadline reports that the studio is currently mulling over whether to send the likes of Cruella, Pinocchio, and Peter Pan and Wendy straight to Disney+. The original plan was for them to receive theatrical releases, but given how things have changed, they could become streaming service exclusives; that's where the money is now, after all. 

It's not specified whether these movies would be included in the subscription fee or on "Premier Access."

Many theaters have been forced to close their doors, and while business may eventually get back to normal, a greater focus will likely be placed on streaming moving forward (especially as Disney+ subscriptions have gone through the roof since the pandemic started earlier this year).

We'll keep you updated as we learn more!

So it's just Marvel Studios that are holding on (for now).

Respect.

There will always be those who want to see some films at a theater, as there will always be those who want to hear their music on vinyl. Or people who prefer pineapple on their pepperoni pizza.

There will probably be less theaters, but the want for seeing films at home when they are first released has been around for decades, and that preference will hopefully be met soon.

The industry giants will work it out.

Those movies make sense to put on Disney+, since they're probably mostly aimed at kids (as far as I know)
