Disney announced today—amidst a whole host of delays, moving release dates for its Marvel movies, etc.—that it’s skipping all that rigamarole for its upcoming film adaptation of Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl books, and just dropping the movie directly onto Disney+. Besides instantly becoming the most interesting thing about the Artemis Fowl movie, the news marks the first time the studio has opted out of the theatrical release window entirely, moving a film originally slated for theaters to its streaming service offerings instead.
