Disney faced a lot of backlash for simultaneously releasing their films both in theaters and on Disney+ throughout 2021, but it seems they’re changing their tune. Eternals, West Side Story, and several other Disney properties are set to get exclusive theatrical releases before becoming available for streaming.

Kareem Daniel, chairman of Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, said that Disney’s excited to update its theatrical plans for the rest of the year following the tremendous box office success of their summer films

“As confidence in moviegoing continues to improve, we look forward to entertaining audiences in theaters, while maintaining the flexibility to give our Disney+ subscribers the gift of Encanto this holiday season,” explained Daniel in an official statement.

The list of movies that will benefit from this shift in strategy includes The Last Duel (October 15th), Ron’s Gone Wrong (October 22nd), Eternals (November 5), West Side Story (December 10th), and The King’s Man (December 22nd). They’ll get a 45-day exclusive run in cinemas, while Encanto will hit the theaters on November 24th with a 30-day exclusive theatrical window before appearing on Disney+. The list includes projects by several studios that currently fall under the Disney umbrella, including Marvel and 20th Century Studios.

It’s a wrap on Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story.

The prolific director took to social media, sharing a few thoughts upon to end of production on September 28. His message was shared via the official Twitter account of production company Amblin.   

“This has been a journey without precedence: a joyful, stunning, moving, endlessly surprising encounter with the story and score of one of the world’s greatest musicals,” Spielberg wrote. “My brilliantly talented, fiercely committed, generous and apparently inexhaustible cast and crew of hundreds have given our film everything they’ve got, and already I can say that the film we’ll be releasing on December 18, 2020, owes everything to them as does its immensely grateful director.”

Set in 1950s New York City, Spielberg added: “The city lent us its beauty and its energy, and we drew deeply upon its grand, multicultural, multifaceted spirit. To the people of New York and Paterson, thanks not only for putting up with our trailers, tents, cranes, and mid-street dance sequences; from the bottom of my heart, thanks for the warm welcomes we encountered everywhere, from pedestrians and policemen and neighborhoods and kids. We couldn’t have made our musical without you.”

West Side Story stars Ansel Elgort (Tony), Rachel Zegler (Maria), Ariana DeBose (Anita), and David Alvarez (Bernardo).

The original film starred Richard Beymer as Tony and featured a big cast including Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, Rita Moreno, and Russ Tamblyn. The 1961 big screen version won 10 Academy Awards—including Best Picture.

West Side Story, originally inspired by Romeo and Juliet follows the rivalry between two street gangs, the white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. The rivalry deepens when Tony, a former jet, falls for Maria, the sister of the Sharks’ leader. 

Tony Kushner adapted the script from the original Broadway book written by Arthur Laurents, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics from Stephen Sondheim. Spielberg, Kevin McCollum and Kristie Macosko Krieger will produce the movie.
