misterpepp Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Chapek specifically mentioned theaters for Dr Strange and Thor. Said nothing about the release strategy for Lightyear. Might be telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) If TR goes bonkers on the plus which I suspect it will, Lightyear will also go to the plus. They got a few weeks to make a decision it seems. We should hear soon with CinemaCon around the corner.

Sonic 2's opening is clearly going to be what influences their decision (since it'll be the first major family film since December). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terrific Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 So if I want to see Turning Red in a theater, no dice. If I watch TR at home, that shrinks the chances of Lightyear in a theater. To quote the sanitized version of “Do The Right Thing,”… mikifiki you, mikifiki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could also wait towards Cinemacon but I think Turning Red’s numbers will be the biggest determinative as Sing 2 doing well didn’t save TR.

Turning Red moving was clearly a business decision due to the rise of Omicron fears at the time along with little in the way of new content for D+ that would be ready by March. Being an original title at a time when only IP has been thriving did it (and Luca, for that matter) no favors in staying theatrical either. If Sonic 2 is big in a few weeks then they're not gonna have much of an excuse, especially when D+ won't be starving for new content by the time summer gets here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianL Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Literally makes no sense to go straight to D+ if Lightyear is primed for an IMAX release... lol I don't even know. Idk how Pixar's contract is with Disney but they need to renegotiate if they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potiki Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Better late than never. Putting some money up, signing a human rights bill and having a meeting are all great but should have gotten ahead of things. edit: this is in regards to the LGBT rights issues in Florida.

AniNate Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 A question about Pixar would've been better than some of the ones that were asked. Guess I should've been a shareholder so I could've asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 https://variety.com/2022/film/news/disney-pixar-same-sex-affection-censorship-dont-say-gay-bill-1235200582/ Quote Disney Censors Same-Sex Affection in Pixar Films, According to Letter From Employees In a statement attributed to “the LGBTQIA+ employees of Pixar, and their allies” obtained by Variety, employees of the animation studio allege that Disney corporate executives have demanded cuts from “nearly every moment of overtly gay affection… regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar.” The stunning claim is part of a wider reaction to the company-wide memo sent to Disney employees by CEO Bob Chapek on Monday regarding its response to the recently passed legislation in Florida known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. In the memo, Chapek states that the “biggest impact” the company can make “in creating a more inclusive world is through the inspiring content we produce.” According to the Pixar letter, that claim is at odds with employees’ experience of trying to create content with same-sex affection approved by Disney executives. “We at Pixar have personally witnessed beautiful stories, full of diverse characters, come back from Disney corporate reviews shaved down to crumbs of what they once were,” the letter states. “Even if creating LGBTQIA+ content was the answer to fixing the discriminatory legislation in the world, we are being barred from creating it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
