Somehow, X-Men and Fantastic Four returned.
Like an RKO out of nowhere, 2 films removed July 31st and July 1st have re-appeared today and they don’t even show up in the “New To Disney+” row.
Other titles removed July 1st are Flicka 2 (2006) Miracle on 34th Street (1947), and Night at the Museum (2006). In a weird turn of events, the Ben Stiller museum comedy adventure returned a week later. I don’t know what’s going on here but it’s incredibly refreshing to see 3 films return so quickly while most films leave for 1.5 years.
Miracle is now on HBO exclusively until September 30th, 2022 and Flicka 2 is on Starz exclusively until that very same day in 2022. As always, you can find the entire list of expiration dates for titles on other services HERE and a list of titles removed along with reasons and return dates HERE.
However, don’t get too excited because we aren’t really making progress – we can exclusively reveal that Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog (1995) is leaving Disney+ September 1st, 2021 and will not return until Decemberish 2022.
