Previously, Fox may have planned to release some of these films against Disney product; after all, they used to be competitors.
Disney will also get from Fox a basically finished New Mutants movie that has already undergone numerous reshoots and shifts of release dates.
Its release was recently pushed from February to June 7, a date that doesn’t conflict with any movie from Disney.
Although the deal is not fully complete yet, Fox has already started shifting around its release schedule, pushing potential competition away from big Disney releases.
