Article Summary

  • "Young Woman and the Sea" sets sail on Disney+ July 19th, starring Daisy Ridley.
  • Directed by Joachim Rønning, the film had a small box office presence before streaming.
  • Originally planned for direct-to-Disney+, Ridley's film garners positive reviews.
  • A new TV spot and poster released to herald the film's Disney+ streaming debut.

If you read the title of this film and you have no idea what this film is and you haven't heard of it, you're not alone. Young Woman and the Sea was supposed to be a direct-to-Disney+ or Hulu offering that was shifted to a limited release in theaters. Disney likely wanted to curb some more goodwill with director Joachim Rønning since he was the one bringing Tron: Ares to the big screen. The film has actually had some trouble getting to the big screen initially landing at Paramount as early as 2015 before eventually making its way to Disney in 2020. The movie tested very well, so they decided to give it an extremely limited release. It must have been very limited because the movie only made just over $500k at the box office. The movie got pretty good reviews and is now making its way to Disney+ starting on July 19th. Disney released a new TV spot and poster to go along with the streaming release.
