Disney Goes Online
What the owners of cinemas feared has come to pass. Hollywood studios don't want to support brothers in coronavirus misfortune and are starting to go online. Disney Chairman Robert A. Iger announced that his company will release several films on its own streaming platform.Late last month, a scandal erupted in the United States when the National Association of Theater Owners accused Universal of not waiting for the opening of the halls and sending the cartoon "Trolls. World Tour "straight to the video. A few days ago, Disney folks followed Universal's lead and moved the release of Artemis Fowl from theaters to Disney +. Today Iger made it clear that Kenneth Branagh's fantasy film will be the first in a series of Disney films that will bypass cinemas and go online immediately. The studio, of course, won't send potential box office hits to Disney +. She will wait for the opening of cinemas so as not to lose hundreds of millions of dollars from the rental of "Mulan", "Black Widow" and other blockbusters. Films with dubious box office prospects are likely to go online. The long-suffering “New Mutants” are the first to come to mind.  There is no doubt that Disney's decision to cancel theatrical releases will split audiences into two camps. Someone will understand that the company is suffering huge losses from the COVID-19 pandemic and is trying to earn an extra penny, but someone will take the side of the cinemas, which did not expect betrayal by Hollywood studios.
