It seems as we’re cautiously coming out of the woods (re: the coronavirus pandemic), the constant shifting of movies will be few and far between.
#LUCA MOVIE THEATER FREE#
Upcoming Disney movies like Black Widow and Jungle Cruise are taking the in-theaters and Disney+ Premier Access route, while Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Free Guy, coming later in the year, are currently set to release in theaters only. Will more current Disney theatrical titles pivot to Disney+?Īs of now, it seems like Luca is the last film to go through the “theatrical-only to Disney+ Original” pipeline. Pixar’s Soul, which also became a Disney+ Original, hit digital platforms around three months after its Disney+ premiere and even got a physical-media release, too. But since Luca was originally a theatrical title, it will likely be available on digital platforms like iTunes and Google Play soon. Since Luca is categorized as a Disney+ original and not a Disney+ Premier Access title, it will be available in the streaming-service library for as long as Disney keeps it there. Unfortunately, Disney+ does not offer a free trial. Wouldn’t you like that to be a possibility. If I just want to watch Luca, could I just get a free trial? It is a $6.99 monthly fee for the streaming service. If I don’t have Disney+, how much is a subscription? Luca is not a Disney+ Premier Access title, so there will be no extra charge aside from the price of a Disney+ subscription. So, do I only need Disney+ to watch Luca, or do I also need to do the Disney+ Premier Access thing? There have been reports and well-sourced anecdotes that claim Pixar employees are miffed by Disney’s decisions on this front, which is, uh, intriguing. There’s no official, on-the-record rhyme or reason to Disney’s release schedule, but it’s very strange for both Pixar films to not get a theatrical and a Disney+ Premier Access release. So, in short, no, it won’t be in theaters - though if you live in Los Angeles, Luca will have a limited weeklong run at Disney’s El Capitan Theatre. While other Disney films like Cruella and Raya and the Last Dragon have had a simultaneous in-theater and Disney+ Premier Access release, Luca - like Pixar’s Soul before it - will be a Disney+ exclusive. Originally scheduled for a theatrical-only release, Luca was shifted to a Disney+ premiere in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
