After social distancing pushed a wave of big-budget movies straight to streaming, theatrical exclusives are the norm again.
Now, though, streaming release dates are all over the map.
And for the biggest films, like Marvel’s, the waits are stretching out longer.
When isAnt-Man: Quantumania’s streaming release date on Disney Plus?
It’s anybody’s guess, but it probably won’t be quick.
Doctor Strange took 47 days to reach Disney Plus.
Thor hit Disney Plus 62 days after its theatrical release.
But Wakanda Forever took 82 days to start streaming.
In other words, each movie took progressively longer to hit Disney Plus.
The strategy paid dividends at the box office, with the Top Gun sequel grossing nearly $1.5 billion.
