A number of major circuits, including Cinemark in the U.S., refused to carry `Raya` because they wanted more generous terms in exchange for the film playing day-and-date. It remains to be seen whether that pattern repeats itself with `Black Widow` and `Cruella`.

In its biggest pandemic-related streaming move, Disney has now opted to make its upcoming movies, `Black Widow` and `Cruella`, available on its streaming service Disney+ Premier Access at the same time that the films will hit the theatres.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, `Black Widow`, which was earlier slated for a May 7 release, will now be coming out on July 9. Disney+ subscribers will be able to watch it on the day of its release for an additional USD 30. Previously Disney had released `Mulan` and `Raya and the Last Dragon` for the same price through the Premier Access tier.
