It doesn't work that way - had Disney been able to prevent it, it would already have done so. Many people labour under the impression that a parent company has full control of the workings of the subsidiary - they do not (although the parent company can *certainly* make life difficult for the subsidiary) - and in this instance, there are legal contractual obligations to live up to as well.

If Moore's film gets the viewer rating he expects, then Disney is legally obliged to distribute the film.
