Well, white holes do exist (theoretically).

If you had told me just a few weeks ago when the sale occurred that Love, Simon would be the first Fox property they would they jump on, I would've thought you were joking. Wonderful news if it happens, though. Curious if it's a sequel series to the movie (with the cast back) or a spin-off.

I hope the people I'm a fan of never make something for Disney+ or Apple+. I will never support them.

[Morieris]

What movies in theaters currently would have DBOX?

 

bc I think with totally reserved seating, our theater got rid of it Or nobody bothered to put Hellboy / Shazam! / Captain Marvel in it.

The day Jennifer Lopez inevitably signs up for one of those will be a tragedy.

I still seek Asylum from the Joker thread.

The Joker Thread estate is a state of oppression.

The three main pieces of news, near as I can tell, so far in regards to Disney+:

 

 

"likely" is a hell of a proviso, but it seems fairly likely.

 

 

Though, again, awfully light on specifics on just what "global" means.  For what it's worth, ESPN+ and Hulu+ are listed as "US and Expanding", whatever the hell that means.

 

Still. "global" for Disney+ is a good sign for the non-Americans who were interested in some of the content that is being worked on.

 

Finally (so far):

 

 

Be interested to see if an "lower priced tier with ads" comes down the pike at some point.

Is the idea to undercut Netflix still actual?

 

Hulu will have the material that is a bit less childfriendly, correct?

[Eric the IF]

Also Jeff Goldblum's hosting a Nat Geo series on Disney+, which is just...yes.

I haven't been checking the stream so I don't know if the price has yet been announced, but that's the plan as far as I know.

Bundling Disney+ and Hulu+ is pretty much a no-brainer and it makes sense to also add in ESPN+.  I'm sure some folks won't want to get the ESPN+ part of that package, but at the same time I suspect Disney really wants to get as many as folks as possible getting all three, so I doubt a mix-and-match bundle will be coming any time soon.

This is one of the biggies I was worried about.  Devil is ALWAYS in the details, but a good sign.

ESPN+ was $5 plus only really usable if you have an ESPN paid TV subscription.

 

I imagine by packaging it to Disney+ will be keeping it that way ? Or will they one day put EPSN also in a OTT package ?

So they have the stream but they're not showing the Frozen II clip huh
