A number of major circuits, including Cinemark in the U.S., refused to carry 'Raya' because they wanted more generous terms in exchange for the film playing day-and-date. It remains to be seen whether that pattern repeats itself with 'Black Widow' and 'Cruella'.

In its biggest pandemic-related streaming move, Disney has now opted to make its upcoming movies, 'Black Widow' and 'Cruella', available on its streaming service Disney+ Premier Access at the same time that the films will hit the theatres.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 'Black Widow', which was earlier slated for a May 7 release, will now be coming out on July 9. Disney+ subscribers will be able to watch it on the day of its release for an additional USD 30. Previously Disney had released 'Mulan' and 'Raya and the Last Dragon' for the same price through the Premier Access tier.
