With millions of Americans hunkered down in their homes, self-isolating themselves amid the coronavirus outbreak, Disney is here to help pass the time. The studio has released two of its biggest tentpole films early.
As of Friday night, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is now available on digital and on-demand platforms, including through iTunes, Vudu, Xfinity, FandangoNOW, and more. The film’s digital release was originally set for March 17th.
Meanwhile, Frozen 2 will premiere on Disney+ on Sunday, March 15th — several months earlier than expected.
“Frozen 2 has captivated audiences around the world through its powerful themes of perseverance and the importance of family, messages that are incredibly relevant during this time, and we are pleased to be able to share this heartwarming story early with our Disney+ subscribers to enjoy at home on any device,” Bob Chapek, Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, said in a statement.
