Bob Iger said in an interview Tuesday that more Disney theatrical releases may wind up on the company’s new streaming service Disney+ after movies like “Artemis Fowl” and “Onward” have already moved onto the platform.
Iger said that many of Disney’s major tentpole films will remain in theaters at later dates, and last week Disney revealed an overhaul of its theatrical slate, shifting titles like “Mulan,” “Black Widow” and “Jungle Cruise” to adjust to the closures caused by the coronavirus. “Artemis Fowl” however was bumped from its late May release to Disney+ for an unspecified date.
So while many films on Disney’s theatrical slate already have new slots on the calendar, Iger left open the possibility that more changes could be on the way.
