Lightyear will finally be available to stream on Disney+ tomorrow, Wednesday August 3, from 8am BST. This is in line with the recent common practice for Disney to stream their films just six to seven weeks on from making their theatrical releases.
The Buzz Lightyear-inspired spin-off will drop on the streaming platform 47 days after giving keen cinemagoers their first screenings. From tomorrow morning, all Disney Plus subscribers will be able to follow the action-packed adventure surrounding the titular character of Buzz.
The film had the proud honour of being the first Pixar movie to be released in cinemas since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Lightyear failed to live up to expectations in the box office, grossing $219 million against a $200 million production budget, although it received fairly positive feedback on the review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes - with critics’ ratings averaging 75% and the audience giving it 84%.
