'Artemis Fowl' had been long delayed, even before the coronavirus outbreak. Also, 'Mulan' will be released theatrically July 24, Disney said.
Walt Disney Co. on Thursday said furloughs will begin April 19.
For example, Disney on Friday also said its live-action remake of “Mulan” will hit theaters July 24, after canceling its originally planned March 27 debut because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney has also set new premieres for major films including Marvel’s “Black Widow” and “Eternals,” now planned for Nov. 6 and Feb. 12, respectively.
But for “Artemis Fowl,” the Burbank studio decided to scrap the theatrical debut altogether. Instead, the film directed by Kenneth Branagh will launch on Disney+, the company’s pivotal subscription streaming service that launched in November and has drawn more than 28 million subscribers. Disney has accelerated the Disney+ debuts of “Frozen 2" and Pixar’s “Onward” because of the coronavirus shutdowns.
Disney’s movies have dominated the box office in recent years, especially with movies from brands such as Pixar, Marvel and “Star Wars.” However, the studio has at times struggled with live action movies without obvious brand association, such as “A Wrinkle in Time.”
