However, with the Warner Bros plan now announced, it would not be a surprise at all for Disney to make a similar move regarding its upcoming theatrical slate.
The Walt Disney Company revealed it would have a special Investor Day a couple of months ago after it announced a major restructuring to the company’s movie production pipeline.
Rather than having two different pathways to distribution, the theatrical method and the streaming platform, the new Disney Studio will run everything together, meaning that the decision of whether a movie is destined for Disney+ or theaters will be made later in the process.
And because of the restructuring, it would be easier to do from a business standpoint.
