West Side Story | 10 DEC 2021 | RIP Stephen Sondheim | Comes to Disney+ March 2nd

[Yandereprime101189]

I wonder if they're gonna quietly release this on digital Tuesday. Tuesday marks the 45th day and if I recall correctly, West Side Story was among the movies listed by Disney to have  45 day window.

 

They need people to see this and at this point, it isn't getting its audience theatrical.

The streaming date for Nightmare Alley was already announced, and it was released after West Side Story. I think Disney/Fox will hold out for one last box office gasp when Oscar nominations are announced (February 8).

 

 

So, we're doing this again, huh?

 

 

They're getting ratioed, at least.

A lot of "is there backlash?" Or "people are saying" articles depend on basically 3 people tweeting something stupid and an article amplifying that nonsense.

there isn't a wide backlash. frankly not a lot of people care about her, she's been in one flop. that article describing her as a household name is... extremely generous.

I’m supposed to believe she’s a “writer” and she doesn’t even use capital letters. 
 

No.

Disney+ launch confirmed, but the only date is "over the coming months"

Over the coming months, Disney+ will also stream “The Dropout”, “The Kardashians”, “Pistol”, and “West Side Story”. These titles join a vast array of TV and movies available to stream, including “Dopesick”, “Only Murders in the Building”, Marvel’s “Hawkeye”, “The Book of Boba Fett” and Disney’s “Encanto”.

I'd guess Feb 11th or so after Oscar nominations.

Keep in mind Free Guy is set for late February.

[filmlover]

They're gonna save it for after the Oscars since Free Guy is their big theatrical premiere for February and Turning Red (poor Pixar) is the main event for March aside from Moon Knight (which launches the second to last day of the month). That way they can promote whatever nominations/wins it picks up to go along with whatever pre-recorded videos they did with the cast to hype up the launch.

Unless you're in the UK or Ireland, in which case it's here already.

Well there is one difference;

West Side Story was very well received, critically; Nighmare Alley was not.

Nightmare Alley have 80% on RT which an pretty good average of 7.4, so yeah also well received.

 

I don't think this make any sense.

March 15th date for physical.
 

Disney+ should be around 2-3 weeks before this.

 

Oscars date is March 27th, so the release is being scheduled to capitalise.

 

 

Hideous Steelbook also available

Only 3 other directors have earned as many nominations: William Wyler (12 total nominations, 3 wins), Billy Wilder (8 total nominations, 2 wins) and Martin Scorsese (9 total nominations, 1 win).
