To be clear: yes, we still encourage you to enjoy your movies at security of your home. Still, we know there are some which are scheduled to hit theaters this weekend. If you go to a Cinemark affiliated theater, there are movies you won’t see: Disney Stripe and the last dragon, which will be released worldwide and on Friday, March 5, Disney Plus.
Per Limit date i THAT, Cinemark Theaters announced its decision to skip premieres Wednesday, citing in a statement a problem with Disney’s steep license terms:
“In the current operating environment, we make short-term booking decisions in a discreet way, film by film, focusing on the long-term benefit of exhibitors, studios and moviegoers. Although we have talks with The Walt Disney Company, we have not yet reached pleasant license terms for Stripe and the last dragon. As we continue to work with our studio partners, we remain optimistic that we will achieve mutually beneficial conditions that will provide filmmakers the opportunity to see the exciting filmmaking in our cinemas. ”
Like other theaters, Cinemark has struggled to regain his footing during the pandemic. Hybrid film launch plans for the tastes of WarnerMedia i Paramount they’ve only complicated things further by shortening the theater’s windows and changing licensing conditions, some of which may be left out of a theater company’s dwindling budget. If a studio refuses to change its terms, it could lead to more decisions like this, a consequence that means little to a giant corporation like Disney, but could have a greater material impact on a theater chain’s ability to thrive. . Disney has not commented on Cinemark’s decision. But how Limit date notes, there is still the possibility of the two parties reaching a common ground at 11 a.m.
Stripe and the last dragon starring Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina, Daniel Dae Kim, Gemma Chan and Sandra Oh. Here’s what Danette Chávez he had to say in his recent movie review:
Although it took years of production before the pandemic changed everyone’s way of life, Raya and the Last Dragon really feels like the first Disney blockbuster of the COVID era. Accidentally or not, this lavish animated production resonates with the collective pain of the world where it is being liberated, inviting everyone to sit with that pain, even though it hints at the brightest days to come. Directed by Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada, along with co-directors Paul Briggs and John Ripa, the film is still a Disney princess story (with gestures toward a Disney acquisition). But, with its dull palette and infusion of Southeast Asian cultures, Raya also brings some innovation to this framework, raising some of the questions we’ve all been asking as the rates of infection and death toll: how do we get here? And how can we find our way out?
