News in a devastating blow to preservation, Disney+ is starting to wipe underperforming shows off the service. (World According To Goldblum, Willow.)

the newest victim is Crater. which lasted 48 days.

The film, a family sci-fi adventure, was by all accounts fine. Nothing extraordinary, but nothing anyone involved would be embarrassed by either. It starred Mckenna Grace, from the latest Ghostbusters movie and Handmaid’s Tale, along with Billy Barratt (from Apple’s dangerously underrated Invasion) and Kid Cudi. People who were into it said it was fun, and also had a sad ending, and what else would you need or expect from a movie Disney made for kids and sent straight to a streaming service.

at that point. i'm surprised they didn't just go the Batgirl route of cancelling it before release. if they have that little faith in it.

off the heels of Hulu releasing their exclusive film "Prey" onto physical media, Disney+ has finally gotten into this market.
the only issue, of course. is that they've started with the most popular series which are unlikely to be removed for a while. rather than picking titles that are currently lost.
Paramount+ did it with their former Grease series, so there's nothing really stopping Disney from doing the same.

don't understand how the various fees aren't the same across this versus a streaming service, but at least it's somewhat resolved.

the full list of films is Crater, Better Nate Than Ever, Flora & Ulysses, The One and Only Ivan, Rosaline, and the 2022 Cheaper by the Dozen remake.

this news is particularly notable as Disney previously announced they were getting out of physical media a few weeks ago, shifting the manufacturing and distribution of their titles over to Sony Pictures.
