The bad news for movie lovers, Disney’s next animated film will not go on the big screen and will be available directly on the studio streaming platform.
Dissatisfied with the media chronology that runs French releases, Disney has hit! The studio’s next animated film will not even be released in theaters, but directly on Disney +. The information was spread by our colleagues Echoes Who specify that this decision applies only to France. In the rest of the world, the strange world called Avalon here, a strange journey to the cinema will do well.
“This is the result of the media chronology prevalent in France, which we consider unfair, restrictive and inconsistent with the expectations of our audience.“- said Helen Etz, President of Disney France, to explain this choice.
Soon
Because in France, studios have to wait 17 months before they can offer their films on Disney +, in many other countries it is 45 days. A rule that does not at all satisfy Mickey’s house, which seeks to have more freedom in its broadcasting choices.
Avalonia, which tells the story of a legendary journey of a family of legendary explorers in the middle of an unexplored and endangered land inhabited by fantastic creatures, so it does not follow in the footsteps of Encanto. Last Christmas Disney has so far had very good success recording over 3.2 million releases in France, making it to the box office in 2021. The blockbuster spider-man is no way home and the dying can not wait back.
If the film by Don Hall and Quy Nguyen, the trailer of which was released two days ago, was originally scheduled to hit theaters on November 30, the date of its release on Disney + is not yet known.
Other movies related?
If by this time the firm has made this radical decision just for its animated film, it has several more big releases scheduled for the end of the year like Black Panther 2 or Avatar 2. Same fate? If so, it could be a big blow to our cinemas, but it could also be complicated without Disney’s French market, one of the largest in the world.
Big Ear Studio hopes to renegotiate the media after the deadline and believes that “The simplest reform in the short run is its obligation to cancel its movies from the platform during the free channels window.As Helen Etz assures Les Echos. Streaming platforms really need to temporarily remove movies from their offer when they broadcast encrypted channels like M6 or TF1.
And the President of Disney France added:All other aspects, such as 17 months and the scarcity of our window, need to be renegotiated in the medium term.” To be continued.
