MUMBAI: Disney veteran Tony Chambers has been promoted to EVP of theatrical distribution. He’ll oversee both domestic and international film distribution as well as home entertainment.
Chambers replaces Cathleen Taff, who took over global distribution when Dave Hollis left in 2018. Taff is still working with Disney as production services, franchise management and multicultural engagement president. The new reorganisation which Disney underwent months ago puts more focus on streaming services, with the distribution side figuring out the better route for a film’s release: theatrical or Disney+.

Here’s everything you need to know about the newest streaming channel on the block:
When does it launch? It’s coming to the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Canada on February 23. In Eastern Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, expect it to launch later this year. If you’re in Latin America, look out for something called ‘Star Plus’ in June 2021 which will include ESPN sports content too. If you’re in India, you’re well ahead of the curve: Hotstar has been running there since 2019.
What does it cost? If you already have Disney+, nothing in the short term. Disney+ subscriptions are going up on February 23 (in the UK, for instance, the monthly rate is increasing from £5.99 to £7.99 and the annual rate from £59 to £79), but existing subscribers will keep their current rate until August 23. In other words, if the launch of Star spurs you into subscribing, do it before the end of February and you’ll save a few bucks.
