These aren't the fairies of the bedtime stories - they're dangerous.
 
With covid-19, Disney has cancelled the theater/dvd release and this is getting the Disney+ treament. After seeing the trailers, got admit it's nice match as this seemed to bomb at the BO.

"With audiences largely unable to attend theatres in the current environment, we are thrilled to offer the premiere of ‘Artemis Fowl’ on Disney+," says Disney+ Content President Ricky Strauss.

"Director Kenneth Branagh and his spectacular cast take viewers right into the vibrant, fantasy world of the beloved book, which fans have been waiting to see brought to life onscreen for years," he continues. "It’s great family entertainment that is the perfect addition to Disney+’s summer lineup."​

Makes sense for them to drop this on Disney+
This wasn't going to be a big one for them box office wise anyways.
