Why It's Important?
The release of 'Thunderbolts' on Disney Plus highlights the ongoing trend of streaming platforms becoming primary venues for film releases, especially for movies that may not perform as expected in theaters. This strategy allows Disney to leverage its streaming service to reach a broader audience and potentially recoup investments through subscriptions. The positive critical reception of 'Thunderbolts' could enhance Disney Plus's appeal, attracting Marvel fans and boosting subscriber numbers. This move also reflects the shifting dynamics in the entertainment industry, where streaming services are increasingly central to content distribution.
