When Will Black Widow Be Free for Disney+ Subscribers?
Back in March, Disney announced they would releasing their film Black Widow on Disney+ the same day it hits theaters. The film is slated to debut on Friday, July 9th, and like Mulan, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Cruella, will be available on Disney Plus Premier Access for $29.99. Black Widow July 7, 2021 Natasha Romanoff, also known as Black Widow, confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger. However, now we know, it will follow the same pattern as Mulan, Raya, and Cruella and become available free for Disney+ subscribers three months after its initial debut. That means that Black Widow will be available to stream included in your Disney+ subscription on October 6th. Until recently, with movie theaters shuttered across the country, major media companies have been forced to bring some of their films to streaming. Hamilton, Mulan, Soul, and Luca were among films that were on the Disney theatrical slate that have had to be moved to Disney+. During their Earnings Call in May, Disney CEO Bob Chapek explained that Premier Access exists, in part, to provide a viewing option to audiences who may not feel comfortable seeing a movie in a theater. Black Widow will be Premier Access biggest test yet. It will be the first Marvel movie to hit theaters in over two years, and its widely expected to be one of the top box office draws of the year. If Disney+ cant rake in the money with a Marvel film on Premier Access, they could reconsider the program going forward. They company plans to release Jungle Cruise starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt on Premier Access on July 30th. Since debuting Mulan on Premier Access, Disney has remained tight-lipped about how the film performed on the platform. CFO Christine McCarthy has been on the record simply saying we are very pleased with what we saw over the 4-day weekend, but havent shared any further details.
