With many studios removing their theatrical movies from their original release dates to new ones because of the cinema closures, Disney have not rescheduled any of their films and today announce that Artemis Fowl will go direct to Disney+.

The film was originally set for release on 9th August 2019 before being moved to 29th May 2020, but unlike many of the studios schedule, like Mulan, Disney have decided to give the Kenneth Branagh directed adaptation of the Eoin Colfer book to their streaming service, there is no date yet when it will appear there.

This is a very interesting move from one of the most powerful studios in the world, and lets hope not, but could show the way forward for studios in this difficult time.

Maybe we will see a time when the big, potential $1 Billion movies, will get moved to other release windows, but the smaller films will go straight to streaming so there is not a massive back catalogue of films to get out in cinemas.

Time will tell, and with no sign of cinemas reopening there is no way to tell if some bigger movies will get the home entertainment treatment as well.
