Deadline reports Disney has officially decided to shift Young Woman and the Sea to a theatrical release on May 31, 2024.

"It’s official. The Disney+ movie, Young Woman and the Sea, is getting a limited theatrical release on May 31. This is after the Daisy Ridley movie tested in the high 90s.

I also hear that the movie will have a marketing campaign tailored to a limited release. Originally, we heard from a non-Disney source that the feature take on Glenn Stout’s novel was going to get a tentpole push.

Anyway, it’s another win for streaming movies heading to the big screen, and studios recognizing the potential for them there first."

Iger’s solution to the movie problem is apparently an endless supply of sequels because audiences will always show up for regurgitated slop they can stream in three months’ time.

Think of your top TV series you loved.

Each time you tuned in, you were watching a sequel.

Those money-grubbing jerks should have stopped at the pilot!!

Breaking Bad didn’t require me to drive to the multiplex and then pay $15 to see the next episode. Although it would’ve likely been worth it more than Iger’s sequel #12.

I mean, a lot of sequels end up being as good as or better than the original: The Godfather 2, Aliens, the Mad Max sequels, especially Fury Road, the Evil Dead sequels, Bride of Frankenstein, Paddington 2, Top Gun Maverick, the Mission Impossible sequels, Terminator 2, Star Trek 2, and on and on. I’d argue that the Toy Story sequels mostly hold up as well.

"Sean Bailey, the producer-turned-executive who has overseen the Walt Disney Studios’ live-action division for almost 15 years, is exiting the studio.

In his place, David Greenbaum, who ran of Searchlight Pictures with Matthew Greenfield, will take over in a newly created role of president, Disney live action and 20th Century Studios. Greenbaum will report to Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman.

Per the studio’s announcement Monday, in this new role Greenbaum will lead a combined studio group that will be home to both iconic film brands, producing a robust collection of original and legacy projects unique to each for theatrical and streaming, while increasing collaboration across the production slate.
Steve Asbell continues to oversee 20th Century Studios as president

Bailey’s departure has been rumored for several weeks now as his name has floated to the top of the list as the executive who is most likely to replace Scott Stuber, Netflix’s film chief who announced his departure in January.

Disney tapped Bailey as president of production in 2010, and he was the tip of the spear to bringing to action the strategy of moving away from original movie and to focus of remaking the company’s animated classic into live action. It was a strategy that was hard to argue against, with many success, some becoming billion dollar blockbusters including Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King.

Bailey built his name as a partner with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in the trio’s LivePlanet banner, acting a producing on Affleck’s feature directorial debut, the well-regarded 2007 thriller Gone, Baby, Gone."
