They're definitely not giving up on theatres. The last two made billions of dollars each.
However the last film was available on PVOD after 102 days and Disney+ streaming after 173 days. Recent films, looking at Marvel and DC, usually get PVOD after ~70 days and streaming after ~100 days. I expect this film will swing a little higher in terms of days since they'll probably have a few more special showings (more IMAX etc) after the holiday season.
Now I wouldn't be surprised if Disney has a plan for an intermission if that is the feedback they get. And honestly if films keep getting longer it may become a standard thing. And if it becomes a standard then I think theaters would be exited, since they can get you to buy more candy, popcorn and soda.
