15. The Disney Vault
Disney’s vault system means putting certain movies on a moratorium so that they are not available for purchase until they are released from the vault.
Usually, Disney puts movies in a seven-year vault hold and then releases them.
Generally, two movies are released a year.
Not every Disney movie goes into the vault and they don’t share new vault releases very far in advance.
Keeping track of THE VAULT…
