on May 7. Now, summer’s opening title is delayed, and with a distribution pattern that’s not necessarily friendly to exhibitors.
Disney was in truly bad form today with its distribution maneuvers, and it just creates more mistrust within the exhibition industry when it comes to any promises or overtures the Mouse House is making. Not to mention, what a slap in the face to exhibition partners who’ve had to borrow billions to stay afloat during the pandemic.Raya and the Last Dragon
over Disney’s refusal to budge on rental terms, many sources tell us that will be a harder line to hold this time around onTheatre owners are between a rock and a hard place; the risk of not playing ball with Disney could impact their terms for the worse in the long run. The only way that Disney’s plans would be greatly curtailed is if AMC, Regal and Cinemark together decided not to playHowever, it’s expected that AMC would go along with Disney’s plan. Unlike AMC and Cinemark’s deal with Universal, they’re getting some cut of those titles’ PVOD revenue as they segue from the theatrical marketplace. Disney, as far as we know, isn’t sharing its Disney+ revenue pie.
