Since the outbreak in March in the world, Disney's six Disneyland resorts around the world have basically closed down. The surrounding retail stores and cruise ships have also been shut down, and the number of overseas tourists has fallen by 50%. At the same time, the closing of the movie theater led to the re-sizing of many Disney films. The live-action version of "Mulan" starring Liu Yifei was postponed from March to July 24 and "Black Widow" was postponed from May to November. Revenue comes mainly from "1/2 Magic" theater distribution and VOD revenue and "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" at the box office in January.
