Those people, after all, command a hefty payday, and so it saves Disney even more to kill those projects if they aren't doing big numbers. Once projects are no longer available on Disney+, they aren't making money for Disney, and so there's no percentage to pay out to writers, actors, filmmakers, and the like.Īs a result, some of the projects are surprising, if only because they feature big-name stars. Part of the cost savings is potential tax breaks, but there's also a conversation about how studios are disappearing content in order to avoid paying residuals to the artists who made them. The company has yet to confirm that the projects are being written down, and it's possible that some or all of these projects are just being placed into the "Disney vault" and could return later - or even that some of them could end up licensed to other platforms. So far, Disney+ itself has dropped a dozen movies, including some high profile projects like Cheaper By the Dozen and Stargirl (as well as its sequel).
