Wakanda Forever might not get released in France.

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

France has a law that requires movies to be streamed 17 months after its theatrical release.


So either they pull it from being shown in France, and just stream it on Disney + like normal, or release it, but block it on D + in France.

Considering all the other Phase 4 movies in France are not releasing until that 17 month span, this doesn't seem like they would actually choose to do differently with BP2

I think it’s based on old business models.

Theatrical run, DVD, streaming. Disney + actually moved up their streaming releases, but I think they might making longer eventually.

It’s also about money. The longer a movie is in theaters, the more money the studios make before it goes to streaming because they don’t really make anything. Disney is different because they own their streaming platform.

It released in theaters in December like everywhere else, same as all the Phase 4 movies. But due to that, they aren't on any subscription based platform yet because of that law.

The first BP made over $30 million in France.


BP was also a rare blockbuster where it’s domestic gross was higher than its international. I don’t think Disney wants to lose that revenue. I’m sure they want to clear more than the 1.3 billion they made last time.

$30M on a $1B+ box office is nothing. France ain’t a country you stop the presses for. They either get with the times or get left behind. China is the only country Hollywood would fully accommodate

France actually values cinema. It's the birth place of film. They don't look at film as "content"

That's ok. Just watch the woman King.
