    This is right. I think "Soul" was also a Pixar film that went straight to Disney+. Very strange behaviorhttps://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1502752004036304907 …

    The more interesting story here is why Disney has dumped two well-regarded Pixar movies in a row - "Luca" and "Turning Red" - on Disney+, instead of giving them big domestic releases. That's done more harm to this movie than that chucklehead's review.

        Is Disney trying to destroy the Pixar brand? That seems strange but it's hard to see their behavior in another light.

        Are families taking kids to theaters right now in big enough numbers to justify big theatrical releases? Maybe they’re protecting the brand from “bombing” while we’re still in uncertain pandemic times

        Apparently parents are not taking children to movie theaters 🤔 Some sort of global pandemic, or some such 🤷‍♂️

        Possibly family movies that wouldn’t have fared well in a pandemic at theatres where there is reluctance to expose younger unvaccinated (especially during luca and soul timeframes) kids? Families generally more cautious?

        They are betting they are going to make more money from the streaming service than the box office. Netflix has done fine without blockbusters at the theater. Plus, theaters aren’t very busy even now.

        I mean, Soul was an extremely weird film.

        Critically panned, box office numbers way down as Covid persists, even as we’ve stopped masking?
