Artemis Fowl will not get a theatrical release
The children's book adaptation will debut on Disney+
Disney's Artemis Fowl became the latest major studio film to skip theatres entirely and move directly to streaming -- a trend that has triggered alarm among movie exhibitors.
The children's book adaptation will debut on Disney+ instead, at an undisclosed date.
The next Indiana Jones film, currently untitled, was also pushed back an entire year to July 2022, while a confirmed Captain Marvel film bucked the trend by moving to an earlier slot that same month.
Disney delayed the releases of more than a dozen major films on Friday, but has not given up "Mulan," now set for a July launch despite the coronavirus pandemic.
