Mulan has netted $260 million so far on Disney +

Everyone lost you idiot

 

[O.T.I.S.]

So people actually brought this for real???

man they need to drop black widow for the streets...

I bought it because my girl wanted to watch it (she’s asian)..

We had a movie night... lounged in a recliner and watched it on the projector... it was dope.


And, I get to keep the movie all the way until it’s released in December I think... or like a month. We had kids over one day and they wanted to watch it and that was like a week after we bought it.


260 million isn’t bad at all... all profits too. Black Widow would double that, and if they do like the theaters and put in ads and trailers before the movie starts it (no during) shyt could be raw

I think Disney are fronting those initial numbers.... most reports are calling it a failure.

The Failure of "Mulan" Is More Bad News for Hollywood

A report from Yahoo suggested that a shocking 9 million Disney+ users had streamed the studio’s Mulan remake in its first 12 days of release, translating into a gross of $261 million. That’s a staggering number for an on-demand rental and for an industry that’s been struggling through pandemic-related cinema closures. If Disney can make that kind of money without American theaters, does it need American theaters at all?

The only problem is, Mulan didn’t actually make $261 million in 12 days. Yahoo had misinterpreted numbers from an analytics firm that estimated Mulan’s viewership, and the firm’s co-founder clarified that grosses were more likely $60 million to $90 million—well below the movie’s reported budget of $200 million. Not only does it seem that Mulan made modest sums in the United States (though Disney has yet to release official numbers), but the movie also had a disappointing theatrical rollout in China. Another grand experiment by Hollywood in the COVID-19 era, another flop. As the end of 2020 draws near, studios still haven’t figured out a sustainable way to bring their most expensive blockbusters to audiences.

Disney knows Black Widow and Soul are their only sure-fire way to test the VOD models.

Mulan had bad news from the jump even before the production started.

Flopped in the theaters and didn’t make a big enough splash on Disney+ to break even.
The Failure of "Mulan" Is More Bad News for Hollywood

from the article you posted

In decades past, Hollywood churned out plenty of cheaper movies that relied on word of mouth and could play for months on end, slowly racking up profits. But modern tentpole releases such as Mulan and Tenet are designed to have spectacular global rollouts, packing theaters and securing massive opening-weekend grosses. Think hundreds of millions of dollars rather than merely tens of millions.

Hollywood knows how to function in only one way anymore, and that has made the industry devastatingly vulnerable this year.

kinda speaks to what i was talking about, hollywood has made it so fewer types of movies draw people to theaters. this VOD thing might add family movies/kids movies to that list if studios are open to releasing them on multiple platforms, not just their own.

edit: i also agree that mulan isn't the movie to hang the future of VOD on. mulan was a "flop" in the 90's. it was part of the decline of disney feature animations that came after the little mermaid - lion king run. this was always an international bag grab as it's no where near as beloved as lion king, aladdin and little mermaid (the other live actions they've done) nor the cross generational classic that jungle book is

The numbers are real and may be higher

Would've been interesting what it would've done in a non-pandemic setting. Mulan one of those properties that everyone knows about but not sure anybody got that nostalgic crave for. Kinda like Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Pocahontas.. i.e. catchy song or two and some nice happy meal toys with the roll out but otherwise it didn't capture the imagination like Lion King, Aladdin, etc.

Plus not sure if asians (whether chinese or non-chinese) would even care. The whole medieval crouching tiger hidden dragon style seems well saturated for them.
