Of all the above Disney movies, only Inside Out 2 and Moana 2 had a more than 100-day gap between their theatrical release and premiere on Disney+. Uncoincidentally, these two were the only movies of the group to gross over $1 billion. This means that, as alluded to, Freakier Friday‘s streaming release date will depend on its box office success.
The average of these six Disney movies is 95 days. 95 days after Freakier Friday‘s release is November 11, 2025. Therefore, it can be ᴀssumed that Freakier Friday will hit streaming around this time, though most likely before November 11. Freakier Friday is unlikely to cross $1 billion at the box office, meaning its streaming date can be estimated for the start of November.
When Will Freakier Friday Release On Digital?
Concerning Freakier Friday‘s digital release date, this is somewhat easier to estimate. Most recent Disney releases have been released on digital close to 60 days after their theatrical debuts. Of the six films mentioned above, three were released on digital exactly 60 days after being released in theaters.
The three that did not release on digital in this timeframe were Inside Out 2, Moana 2, and Snow White. These films were instead released on digital 67, 62, and 53 days, respectively, after their theatrical premieres. Therefore, using this information, Freakier Friday will likely be available on digital at the beginning of October 2025, around two months after its theatrical debut.
