A far-fetched R-rated thriller unlocks the hidden formula for Disney Plus success

Thanks to the company’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the Disney Plus library has been significantly bolstered by a slew of movies and TV shows hailing from the now-defunct studio. Revisiting R-rated titles on the Mouse House’s platform was something we never expected, but it has allowed forgotten flicks like Don’t Say a Word to find a new lease of life.

That’s not to say the psychological thriller sank without a trace during its initial run in theaters, with director Gary Fleder’s increasingly preposterous conspiracy caper racking up $100 million at the box office. A 24 percent Rotten Tomatoes score does highlight that we’re not exactly in the presence of greatness, although that hasn’t prevented it from making a splash on-demand.
