00:00Marvel's The New Mutants finally gets a release date,
00:02Jimmy Kimmel apologizes for that Mike Pence video,
00:05and what Disney Plus is doing
00:06about its lack of new content right now.
00:08First, The New Mutants has finally been given
00:10a new release date after it was taken off
00:12the spring 2020 calendar due to the coronavirus pandemic.
00:15Disney announced on Wednesday
00:16that the horror-tinged X-Men spinoff
00:18will hit theaters on August 28th, 2020.
00:21Disney inherited the film when acquiring 20th Century Fox.
00:25You're not alone, not anymore.
00:28Do you know what mutants are?
00:30Next, Jimmy Kimmel is apologizing
00:32for mocking Vice President Mike Pence.
00:34THR's Neha Joy has more.
00:36The ABC host explained that he previously aired
00:38an edited-down version of a segment
00:40that featured Pence delivering medical supplies
00:42to a Virginia healthcare center.
00:44In the clip, after he dropped off some boxes,
00:46an aide informed Pence that the remaining boxes were empty.
00:48The vice president responded with,
00:50well, can I carry the empty ones just for the camera?
00:53The video prompted criticism from even the president himself,
00:56who took to Twitter on Sunday, writing,
00:57more fake news, this time from Jimmy Kimmel's last place show.
01:01Kimmel says it turns out he had only watched a portion of the video
01:03and there was actually 29 minutes of footage
01:06which indicate that Pence was just joking about the comment.
01:08Which again, I didn't know because I don't have the mental endurance
01:12it requires to watch Mike Pence deliver boxes for 29 minutes.
01:16Once the host learned that he was wrong,
01:17he took down the video and apologized to Pence on Twitter.
01:20Apologizing to the Trump administration for spreading untruth
01:24is like apologizing to Barry Bonds for using steroids.
01:27It's hard.
01:28Finally, while it was recently announced that the Hamilton film
01:30will debut on Disney Plus on July 3rd,
01:33just in time for Independence Day
01:34and more than a year before its previously planned theatrical release.
01:37But why was it moved to streaming so quickly?
01:39According to experts, Disney Plus needs content right now.
01:43Though the decision to move up the release of the filmed version
01:45of the Hamilton Broadway stage show comes as movie theaters reel
01:48from the current global shutdown,
01:50observers say the move signals less about Disney's theatrical strategy
01:53than it does about its focus on Disney Plus,
01:56which had few big titles planned for summer release
01:58even before the coronavirus hit and caused production shutdowns.
02:01According to Light Shed Media analyst Rich Greenfield,
02:04the Disney Plus content engine is running very dry.
