Disney thinks you will pay 30 dollars to rent Mulan

They need to reduce the price! People are not even in the mood for a movie about China right now. Disney or no Disney.

It's just such pure greed. They are releasing it under their own platform. Don't have pay for a theatrical release, don't have to split profits with Amazon/iTunes. But still charge their own subscribers 30 bucks to rent a movie.

Let's not rush to judgement. I think you should as I have stock in the company and think it is a great idea!

Does it come with poo-poo platter and egg roll?

I guess if the studios are getting away with charging $20 for digital downloads of recent theatrical releases, they think they can hike it up $10 for an online premiere. Only...in case Disney hasn't noticed, we are in the middle of the worst global recession in modern history. And we're talking about a live action version of Mulan. MULAN. Oy.

It will be available for free on torrent sites like 5 minutes after premiering on Disney+, so you'd have to be mildly retarded to pay a sum like that for it.

Lmao. I’m sure the studio execs are so fucking angry they won’t get that theatrical release. This will probably bring in 1/100 of the forecasted pre-COVID sales.

They can come out ahead with a fraction of the sales r7. Profit is revenue minus expenses. Releasing it under their own platform cuts out expenses.

Wait, this is to only rent it and see it once? That’s crazy, at least let people own it for that much.

I’m a little bit out of the loop... Is this a live show like “Hamilton” or a live action movie of the animated movie?

Fuck Disney and their immature formulaic pablum. Fuck them.

The only thing I liked about the animated original were the songs and the animation. This one takes away all the magic.

Oh, and they’ll GET THEIR $30, because people are fucking idiots.

This is a live action remake of the animated movie r10.

But it's quite different. Not a musical, there are no songs.

Did Mulan use magic to get ahead, I thought it was just about cross dressing?

i won't watch this, but my partner and i would watch a $30 movie if it was interesting enough. after the cost of tickets at a theater plus the extortionate popcorn and soda, we'd be about break-even. except we would not get covid or murdered in a theater.

Don’t forget about getting surprise bedbugs from the seats, R15 ❤️

If this is a success, watch Netflix start experimenting with charging people extra money to see certain movies.

Sigh, still waiting for “A Quiet Place 2” with Cillian Murphy and the new “Candyman” film. I would pay $$ for them.

If Disney is so deep in bed with LMM why aren’t they doing this with In the Heights?

Don't be silly r9. They want you to have to guve them money again a few month later to own it.

I ain’t paying no $30 for liberal elite Pedophiles at Disney to let some ricehead try to Trans my little Caytlyn!! No way!

A sequel is in the works called Mulan Rouge, voiced by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

Ha, r22.

You’d have to pay me to watch any Disney movie. I’m not 10 years old.

America isn’t enamored with china right now. Good luck.

Thank God ( or Thanos ) this pandemic happened this year not in 2019 when Avengers : Endgame was released. Cant imagine the most expensive film ever made and epilogue of a most successful saga in cinematic history reduced into mere streaming.

And yes few people care for Mulan since its not even the usual Disney "family" movie targeted for fat fraus and their kids. In fact I believe this film is made with focus on Chinese market. With their country now struggling with their own second wave it is a practical decision by Disney to just streamed this trainwreck and get over it.

Well, a DataLounge thread spoiled the Endgame deaths for me on the Wed before I saw it that Thursday. So a pandemic wouldn’t have been too bad, TBH.

If this flops hard--which it seems destined to do--I wonder if they'll go forward with the 'Crazy Rich Asians' sequel. Asking for a friend.

Why don't they just postpone the release until next year? This is stupid. They are already undermining their own subscribers. What did that take, like five months? There's so much free stuff to watch.

Disney needs to get that mouse on a psychiatrists' couch. Unless a movie features Lukas Ridgeston returning to work in front of the camera, I'm not paying $30 to OWN it, nevermind rent it for a single viewing.

Isn't it Constance Wu now is a certified batshit crazy like a Chinese version of Natalie Portman?

$30! Disney are out of their minds. They're dreamin...

(R5) It's Pu Pu platter

Why don't they just release it when the pandemic is over?

I'd probably pay that for a Mandalorian Season Special (even if it's available a few minutes later for free on torrent sites), but not for something like Mulan.

I quite enjoy Disney+++ Zenimation which is just ambience clips of their animated features.

Do what?

Nobody cares.

They needed to recover the money that they lost when their parks were closed .

Mooron.

If you're a family with two kids, $30 is cheaper than taking everyone to the movie - not to mention the cost of concessions.

They are likely testing to see what the market will bear after having done some market research to get an initial price point.

The interesting question is whether this will lead to a rise the price of digital purchases later. $20 has been the going price for a while, but I can't imagine that staying so low if the first run is $30 for single use.

You were an idiot to read a thread before you saw the movie.

Ho Lee Fuk!

Talk about a Bang Ding Ow to your wallet!

I'm in no rush, I have cable, AMAZON PRIME, HBO, HERE TV and lots of books and streaming music. I can wait to watch MULAN.

If you don't know how to watch something for free on the internet by this point in time, you're hopeless.
