“In relation to the other brands — Marvel, ‘Star Wars,’ Pixar, Disney Animation — we are closer to what you call ‘general entertainment’ on the TV side,” he said. “Some films will be more Disney-adjacent — ‘Avatar,’ ‘Free Guy,’ ‘Planet of the Apes’ — and some films will be edgier.” He also confirmed that with the exception of a handful of titles, films from 20th Century Studios will launch on Hulu domestically and Star+ internationally, allowing the company to explore genres that Disney doesn’t typically explore.

An exciting step for 20th Century Studios

In addition to the streaming releases, 20th Century Studios is looking to release two or three theatrical films a year, especially with their bigger named properties like “Avatar,” “Planet of the Apes,” and the recently announced franchise for “Free Guy.” The streaming deal is perhaps most exciting, because it feels like another step toward the return of the mid-budget movie. As for any other films that will head to streaming vs. theaters? “We will evaluate these decisions film by film, and looking at the marketplace as it is and making the predictions that we can,” said Asbell.
