I won’t see it in theaters. And I won’t rent or “early unlock” it for $30 on Disney+ but I’ll BUY it for $20 when it reaches that price point. May have to wait a month or two later but with all the streaming options, I’m good with that. No Time to Die and Dune are the only must-see in theaters for me this year. Maybe MI:7 and Matrix 4.

paperheart Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 did Disney not want to shell out $ for the same Super Bowl ad two years in a row or was this a signal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already saw the result of Mulan, but how can they expect people to prioritize movies over health? The studios will make less money, but they might not have a choice, because vaccines won't eliminate COVID-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I imagine people feeling safe enough to flock into theaters again, is if someone came out with speakers that can disrupt many Covid variants & were required to wear them during screenings. They're acting like it's business as usual, but we know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
media_junkie Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I don't see this being released in theaters in the year 2021. If it is released it will be to streaming. Not enough progress is being made against Covid, and with the news reporting everyday that it is mutating (U.K. strand, South Africa strand, etc.). I believe 2021 will be another horrible year for studios/theaters much like 2020 was.

Bosco685 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Quote As we approach the first anniversary of everything shutting down due to COVID-19, we are reminded once again of all the movies we have not gotten to see. One film that has been pushed back a couple of times because of the pandemic is Black Widow, which was originally supposed to be released in May of last year before being rescheduled to November 2020. Now, the movie is scheduled to come out this May, but things could always change again considering Marvel Studios does not want to release the movie on Disney+. According to a new report from Variety, Disney and Marvel plan to take a fresh approach in their next push to market Black Widow.  Disney began the marketing campaign for the film in December of 2019 and Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations, explained why studios are planning to overhaul movies' marketing strategies.  "There is a certain spoilage from any film sitting on the shelf for very long," Bock explained. "They just become stale after a while, and nobody even really wants to talk about it." He added of Black Widow, "I think a lot of people probably think that Black Widow has already been released, or should have been released by now."  "The last thing you want to do when you’re in this situation is to overmarket with your campaign or oversaturate with your materials," Asad Ayaz, Disney's president of marketing, added. Ayaz shared that his team plans to introduce original materials that will take a "fresh approach" to selling the film. However, it is uncertain when the new campaign will launch.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

▫️ Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 They may be waiting to see if China reopens their theaters in July. Got to squeeze every cent out of this. Screw Disney+ subscribers. And if it does eventually make it to the streaming platform- $30 rental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To include Shang-Chi. So the concern are 2020 films bumped repeatedly in 2021 impacting fellow 2021 films along with bottlenecking 2022 films.
