Movie Theater Business Isn't Going Back To Normal: Disney CEO

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Disney will release "Raya and the Last Dragon" this Friday in 2,000 theaters and simultaneously on its streaming service Disney+ for an additional $29.99 fee, on top of the monthly subscription fee. In September last year, Disney released "Mulan" directly on Disney+ for $29.99.  In December, it released its Pixar animated movie, "Soul," on Disney+ instead of in theaters. The entire family or a group of friends can watch those flicks when they premier, for $30, on a big screen in their living rooms. Any efforts by a studio to pull this off before the Pandemic would have caused all movie theater chains to boycott the release.
