This honestly bums me out, as I hate theaters and have always hated theaters... or rather the behaviour of some of the people that inevitably end up at them... The whole "Watch it at home!" thing was awesome during the pandemic. For some movies I don't even mind paying theater prices just to get to stay home but not have to wait three months and be out of the loop from all my friends who did go to the theater.Disney has now announced that the rest of the fills coming out in 2021 will debut exclusively in theaters. There will no longer debut on Disney Plus at the same time, but rather 45 days later.
This decision likely has less to do with COVID and current conditions than it does to do with the lawsuit brought on by Black Widow's star Scarlett Johansson over Black Widow being released simultaneously on Disney + as in theaters directly impacting her salary.
