The situation is getting worse around the media timeline. On April 10, the American company filed an appeal with the Council of State to denounce a media timeline that it considers to be detrimental to itself and its consumers. As a reminder, the red N maintains its 15-month window, while Disney+ has given itself the opportunity to offer its theatrically released films only 9 months after their initial release. A nice coup for Mickey, who will be able to take advantage of his new releases at Marvel, Disney Animation, and Pixar. In return, Bob Iger's company committed to investing 20 to 25% of its turnover in France in local audiovisual production. More than half of this investment will go to French cinema.
Media timeline in 2025
| Canal+ | 6 months |
| Disney+ | 9 months |
| Netflix | 15 months |
| Prime Video, Max, Paramount+ | 17 months |
For its part, Prime Video is keeping its window at 17 months. A delay that is far too long according to the streaming service, which has also just taken legal action. According to information from BFM TV, the e-commerce giant denounces the current framework and calls for its revision. According to a spokesperson interviewed by AFP:
Unlike Netflix, Amazon Prime Video has the advantage of a studio that is rather active in cinemas around the world, a case similar to that of Disney+. As a reminder, Prime Video is among the companies that have not signed the agreement, as is Netflix. A decree The February regulation, however, made its application mandatory for all subscription streaming companies.
Disney+ subscribers have already been able to take advantage of this new configuration with the early arrival of Deadpool & Wolverine on Disney+ a few days ago. For now, it is difficult to know what consequences the appeals filed by Netflix and Prime Video will have. The media timeline in its current form does not meet everyone's approval, this was already the case with the 2022 revision.
