Disney Pixar to Release 'Soul', 'Turning Red', 'Luca' in Theaters in 2024
Move follows disappointing box office year for Disney, aims to reestablish Pixar as a theatrical brand
- Disney Pixar plans to release three of its movies, 'Soul', 'Turning Red' and 'Luca', in theaters across the U.S. in 2024, long after they had streaming debuts on Disney+.
- The move comes after a disappointing year for Disney, with animated musical-comedy 'Wish' underperforming and Marvel Studios having its worst year at the box office since 2014.
- The three films will be accompanied by Pixar shorts, with 'Soul' opening in theaters on January 12, 'Turning Red' on February 9, and 'Luca' on March 22.
- The decision to release these films theatrically is seen as an attempt to reestablish Pixar as a theatrical brand and to fill a gap in Disney's early 2024 theatrical schedule.
- The films are expected to remain on Disney+ while they play in theaters.
