I just saw a pop up ad on Facebook saying Dark Phoenix was now streaming on Disney+. Interesting.

Saw this on reddit. Dark Phoenix isn't showing up for me but the reddit post said it was for AU/NZ. Weird.

It does provide a more interesting measurement of what the movies performance ultimately meant for the studio. Aladdin actually made more than Rise of Skywalker (not surprising why Aladdin is getting a sequel).

Lion King and Frozen II both made MORE for Disney than 2018's Infinity War. I think there were varying narratives that neither did well enough, but it's hard to say movies that outperformed Infinity War on the metric that actually matters most would be seen as anything but out and out successes.

It makes no sense for Dark Phoenix to be available in HDR10 while Onward is available in Dolby Vision. I’d be skeptical if these images came from the same source (phone/tablet/streaming device).

EDIT: Based on the rating system being different, I assume it’s real and pulled from 2 different sources, and the latter person’s device is only capable of HDR10.

I was wondering what everyone's take on Be Our Chef was so far? I am a Food Channel fanatic and love the cooking challenge shows so this really seemed up my alley with the Disney theme and everything. I am slowly getting into it and will continue to watch. I do like how it gets the entire family involved in the making of the food.

It's fine. My daughter loves it. She loves the themes, seeing the kids cook, and LOVES seeing the guest chefs and going "Oh I love that place" when they talk about what they do/where they work. I'm not huge into it, but I do like it's something different from everything else on Disney+, and I like that it is a twist on the cooking shows by having whole families involved.

What happened?

Disney pulled most of the Fox movies from second run theaters including Princess Bride. This was last year, I heard some returned after the initial order from Disney such as Rocky Horror.

So I assume Disney pulled them and then just renegotiated with the theaters and some couldn't afford the fees. Not sure, but that is just my guess.
