The premiere comes after comments made by Disney CEO Bob Chapek sparked controversy.
According to Variety, Chapek said that the film's exclusive theatrical release would be an "interesting experiment" for Disney since all other movies released during the Covid-19 pandemic were released in theaters and on Disney Plus Premier Access simultaneously.
