      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.

          More likely that Disney plus is desperate for new content to keep subscribers. Very little new monthly content compared to other streaming services

          My guess is that belt-tightening Disney is questioning the necessity of having two full animation studios under their umbrella, especially when they recently closed a third (Blue Sky, after the Fox takeover)

          It's a way to (1) ensure that families, who might be loathe to go to theaters during a pandemic for which there weren't vaccines for under 12 until recently, still saw the films and (2) pump up Disney + We saw all three at home. Probably wouldn't have seen any in theaters.

          They're trying to build up a subscriber base for their streaming app because they think they will ultimately make more money that way. If they wanted this movie to bomb, why have I seen the trailer 50 times already?

          Lightyear is coming to theaters. I feel like they wanted to put a sure fire hit in theaters and use these pandemic releases to boost Disney plus and then go back to regular theatrical release afterwards.

          They're sure hit, attention-getting drops to stave off churn and attract new subscribers to D+; the last few Disney Animation features were not viewed as strongly internally. That said, I can't imagine ANYONE at Pixar is thrilled. Plus there's this:https://ew.com/movies/pixar-employees-say-disney-censored-lgbtq-stories/ …

          Interesting. Encanto did very well in the time between Thanksgiving and the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it has reached the $100 mil plateau yet.

          @daveweigel A lot of us haven’t felt good about taking kids to theaters (let alone ourselves). Disney+ has been a godsend during the pandemic. Extra things like those Pixar movies released immediately has moved us to an annual subscription.
