it would 100% be stupid to move Wish. As many others have mentioned this film appears to be a “comeback” for WDAS. They will basically have the holiday slate to themselves with the strike, and you don’t need actors to promote an animated film. They can use footage from the film to create new trailers as well as archival footage from previous films and such to push the “100 years in the making” tagline.

Well, I suppose that could work.

If it does, i would suggest the opening scene of Wish to further emphasize that this is the special Disney's 100th anniversary animated feature film, not just ordinary WDAS feature film that would make the audience confused about it. They even could put the Disney 100 Years logo at Wish's opening scene.

Previous WDAS and Pixar films never had the commemorative anniversaries logos or sentences at the opening scene, which included Cars (despite being released in time of Pixar 20th anniversary in 2006). However, considered that this is the 100th anniversary of the whole company, the inclusion of "Disney100" text logo or a quote of "A Disney 100th anniversary special animated feature film" after "Disney Presents" feels necessary for Wish.

That’s the only option to still do the 100 years of Wonder.

I don’t understand what you all are getting at. Nothing is stopping Disney from giving this a full theatrical roll out. (Sans red carpet) This film will come out in theaters as scheduled with the full marketing push intended.

This conversation is basically open and shut

Plus Soul, Luca, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto, Lightyear, and Strange World were more successful on Disney+.

This was a covid-era fluke. While it is true that some films may still continue to have a better D+ run than theatrical, that should not and will not be the case with this tentpole film.

Disney has had far too many box office flops in recent months and years and they won’t do it with this one. It doesn’t make any sense. They probably even have pre-recorded marketing footage with the voice actors

I don't think it has the holiday slate to itself

You may laugh, but it is surrounded by a big dreamworks property and a new Illumination film. Currently as big of animation family market share as you can get. Disney is eyeing that.

I have seen zero in theater marketing for Wish yet.

Trailers for Trolls: Band Together before Barbie, the second biggest movie of the year and before other children's releases this last summer.

Migration I know I saw two trailers of this year before Mario and something else I saw.

Wish needs to get marketing big and fast.

I have seen the Wish trailer in theaters 2-3 times, but thought it was odd that it did not play before Barbie.

I have not seen/heard about Migration. That film comes out in December, so it does give Wish the bulk of Thanksgiving to itself. I'm personally very optimistic about the film being successful. I wouldn't expect marketing to really ramp up until next month.

I think by then we will know if Disney decided to move it more towards Jan or not.

Where did you see Wish trailers? Just curious what movies they ran before. I imagine Haunted Mansion was one of them but let's not kid ourselves that, that did not give it very much exposure.

I see Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem next week, I am wondering if one, two or all of those animated feature trailers play before that one.

It played before Little Mermaid, and I swore it played before something else, maybe Guardians?

It could have but I did not see it before Guardians. That seems too early for some reason to be right.

This is what should worry Disney box office. Migration trailer released on YouTube just two weeks ago, and already has over 18 million views.
