Variety: ‘Black Widow’ Eyes New Release Date, ‘Soul’ May Move to Disney Plus

I'd pay for Soul on Disney+ that actually looks like it's going to be great, as for the Black Widow potential new date, I don't blame them. Black Widow might not be fully interesting to everyone but it's a MCU movie which means big money for Disney when theaters are back to normal (whenever that is). We all know they don't wanna risk losing money by putting it on Disney+ despite knowing that we all would pay for the damn Black Widow movie but if they have no plans to push it to D+ stop giving it a new date and indefinitely delay it so when the time is right and things are safer, they can give the movie a date that isn't too far off.
Yep. I'm not stepping foot inside a theater for a good long while. Not until a proven safe vaccine is in my veins.
Hopefully WB wises up and just puts Tenet VOD so I can actually watch it.
Same. Wasn't in for $30 on Mulan, but I would plop down to see Black Widow without having to risk my life to do so.
At some point, all these movie studios are going to need to coordinate their releases and dates. Yeah. they are all competitors... but if they all can't get a spot and an opportunity to get cash, they will all suffer.
There is far too much money at stake for a movie like Black Widow to pop up on streaming, it is not going to happen.
They're not gonna ditch a Marvel movie to Disney+, even with the premium charge. They're gonna be waiting a while to actually put it out there.
youll have to pay, these cg movies aint cheap. at least you know youre getting a good film here and not whatever the hell mulan was
i wonder how well mulan did with all its issues and being just terrible. i think it did pretty good, but disney doesnt want to attract anymore attention to it
Yeah, it's a reality we all need to come to terms with. I know it makes sense to all of us because we all know a large amount of people would pay for it, but a lot more people would pay for the theater experience when the time is right and that amount of money is far bigger than the profit they'd make by putting it on Disney+. If Black Widow was just any other comic movie and not a movie that was under the MCU branch, things would be different probably.
Black Widow in D+ (even for the 30 dollar fee) would really do me some good right now. I could use a Marvel movie to distract me from anxiety for a couple hours, and am certainly not going out to the theater.
Soul is the first Pixar film to really grab me in a few years so it not getting a big screen release would be a huge downer. If Disney needs to clean up their schedule, release the new West Side Story digitally.
I just paid $26 to watch a Kemp Powers' live-action adaptation of his play over the weekend.
You damn well better believe I'll pay good money to watch an animated vehicle collaboration with the director of Inside Out.
That said, being that Canadian theatres aren't a death sentence, I'd still prefer to see Soul on the big screen.

Yeah its disappointing that it would be relegated to streaming. Should just sit on it til next year
Disney saving Widow again feels very off. especially as their 2021 slate gets more fucked. But they know Marvel Studios thirst is real. Plus, the FOX chained deal that their movies go out first to theaters.
Soul has to be a bummer for Pixar though, that's both Pixar films this year going to D+ instead of theatres.
FalconWinterSoldier started filming again since last week, Hawkguy/Ms. Marvel will start later this year, dunno about Loki yet and Wandavision might do reshoots.

Literally tracked down a drive in playing the film because I wasn't stepping foot in a theatre. Absolutely worth it.
Dying for it on VOD though since I've got a wild home system.
I would no joke slap down $30+ to watch Black widow from the comfort and safety of my home. Not to mention its a Marvel movie and almost everyone and their moms has D+.
Honestly, instead of just D+ they should make a huge PR push about it going digital release on everything like a huge summer blockbuster in theaters but on digital marketplaces. Have commercials, YT ads, posters and billboards of it everywhere. Watch the cash come in.

I'm not sure but I think I saw awhile back that they were planning on resuming soon. Even then, we saw what happened with "The Batman", they resumed production and like a week later (if that), they had to shut down again cause someone (Robert Pattison supposedly was confirmed to be the person) tested positive for COVID. We're gonna see this happen time and time again with a ton of shows so who knows if the productions last long enough to get a lot of work in.
(edit)
I cant believe the shareholders of these movie studios are ok with them continually pretending they are going to release movies theatrically on some bullshit day they pull out of their ass like they can predict when the pandemic will be over
These studios need to either admit they are delaying shit indefinitely or fucking release it on demand already

Yes, production has resumed on Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Shang-Chi. And I think filming on Thor is expected to kick off soon.
I mean all the release date delays are predicated on the idea of "hopefully this new date works!" Is announcing a new Black Widow delay every six months all that functionally different from announcing an indefinite delay? The French Dispatch was indefinitely delayed, I don't see anyone thanking Disney profusely over it lol.
Same here. i'd have a better experience at home than any theater in my area, that's for damn sure.
Yeah, I agree. I think it's time for studios to stop giving meaningless dates, Wonder Woman '84 included, for the rest of 2020. We all know that no matter what, shit will likely get worse again before it gets better and there's not nearly enough people going to the theater for them to have any incentive of releasing movies theatrically (see: Tenet bombing). At this point, the movie industry should just get over the fact that either they're gonna give a ton of dates and continuously get pushed back or they can just say "Hey, we know it isn't the right time for movies right now so we're gonna indefinitely our movies until we can see a firm date." There's no harm or disappointment in that and I'm pretty sure a ton of people will be understanding of this decision plus it would give them time to actually debate on putting their respective movies on streaming platforms.
Latter is because they want to recoup as quickly as they can, issue is if the vaccines are aimed for mid 2021, studios will get impatient because they want to plan for 2021-22 and beyond, you might see a offload of lower budget movies but the moment things go positive, there's gonna be fuckload of summer movies and it's gonna be hell so they are trying to not eat each other alive...the problem they are gonna eat each other alive regardless.
6 month delays would be fine
I'm more thinking of WB
They have been by far the shittiest about this whole thing
Also, I have no idea what The French Dispatch is
Edit: now I do, it looks really good
I'd pay $50 today
Disney had like 3 months to push up black widow after rise of skywalker came and went quickly
Like the end of December to early March
they fucked up cause ain't no one going into the theaters

I'd pay the Mulan price for Black Widow, but they know we want to watch it in the theater and they'll probably hold out for that. They can afford to wait on it I think, because that means less future MCU movies having to go to Disney+ if they eventually crack and put BW on the service next spring.
What they're trying to do is not get to the point where they have to consider putting Eternals on Disney+. That movie needs a big theater premiere.

Mulan experiment and Tenet coming out failed unsurprisingly.
I did go see Tenet and AMC is operating at 40% capacity so it's mostly empty and plus no morning showtimes either.
Like someone mentioned it does suck that first Mulan and now potentially Soul are the ones getting the Disney+ treatment.
