Disney on Monday confirmed the November 9 release in French cinemas of the next Marvel film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which it threatened to reserve for its online video platform to push for a reform of the media chronology. Why Black Panther 2 might not be released in theaters in France This regulation, which fixes the order in which films released in theaters can then be broadcast on the Internet or on television, “must be completely revised”, persists Disney in a press release . “Governments have clearly recognized the need to modernize the media chronology and a specific timetable has now been agreed to discuss this,” the group points out. The sequel to Black Panther, one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the end of the year by cinemas which are struggling to regain their pre-pandemic attendance levels, will therefore be released, as initially planned, on November 9, specifies the multinational. As a result, it won’t be available on Disney+ until spring 2024, under current rules. […] in order to define a new framework from February 2023 […] equitable, flexible and incentive for the release of films in cinemas”. “In the meantime, we will continue to decide on a case-by-case basis on the release strategy for our films,” he added.
