Cruella will be heading to the Disney+ service this weekend – and you won’t need to pay the £20 Premier Access price to watch it.
The current Disney strategy for releasing its bigger titles is now pretty much in place, certainly for its family movies. Firstly, it sends them to cinemas with a Premier+ option, the latter of which for those who want to watch the film on Disney+ instead and who have spare disposable incoming.
Then, the physical media release is announced, but not until a few days before the film’s actual release on the likes of DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (all formats Disney continues to support). And then, a week or two after the physical media release, the film goes onto the broader Disney+ platform. Bottom line: once the disc is on sale, the Disney+ announcement is barely a week or two behind.
As such, Disney has now announced that Cruella will be available on regular Disney+ from this weekend. In turn, we can’t imagine it’s too long before Jungle Cruise follows the same path, likely in the autumn.
More, of course, as we hear it.
