Frozen 2 Gets Disney Release THIS Sunday (3 Months Early) Thanks To Coronavirus

In a rare positive outcome from the coronavius pandemic, Disney+ has announced it will make Frozen 2 available to stream starting this Sunday. The news comes as the virus, technically known as COVID-19, has had a sweeping effect on nearly every industry, including entertainment. Disney itself recently delayed the releases of the live-action Mulan movie, as well as New Mutants. As of now, upcoming Marvel film Black Widow still has a May release date, though that could change at any time. The company has also announced the closures of Disneyland in California, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris. These join Disney parks overseas that have already been closed for weeks.

TV and movie productions have also felt the effects of the coronavirus, with dozens of TV shows halting production today alone. All of The CW’s Arrowverse shows have stopped filming in Vancouver, with The Flash the first one announced earlier today. NBCUniversal is also suspending production on 35 TV shows, including those in the Chicago franchise. On the movie side, Disney stopped work on its upcoming Little Mermaid remake, as well as MCU film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. In that film’s case, the director self-quarantined, concerned about his newborn baby.

Now, Disney offers a bit of good news, particularly for parents who will have kids home next week thanks to school closures in many states. The new streamer announced it will add Frozen 2 to its service three months earlier than expected. The movie, which released in theaters at the end of November 2019, was originally slated to debut in June. The film’s release this Sunday, March 15, is for U.S. Disney+ subscribers, with Canada, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Australia able to watch on Tuesday, March 17. Disney also shared the reason for the faster release, saying the company planned on “surprising families with some fun and joy during this challenging period.”

Frozen 2 was a massive success for Disney, suggesting that many subscribers will be excited to watch the movie on Sunday or in the coming weeks. In fact, it’s currently the highest grossing animated film of all time, even beating the massively popular original movie. Frozen is already available on Disney+, meaning fans will be able to watch both films there by the end of the weekend. It’s unknown at this time if other streamers will follow suit and make content available earlier than expected, but it wouldn’t be surprising.

In Disney’s case, the decision to add Frozen 2 early was probably a no-brainer. It ensures both making subscribers happy with an added treat while stuck at home and guarantees that more will watch than probably would have in June. It also helps that the movie is made by Disney, meaning the streamer didn’t have to seek permission from an outside studio. However, regardless of the factors involved in making the decisions, Frozen 2 fans should be excited to hear they’ll have something so unexpected to stream in a couple days.
