Disney must've been like 'if Universal can charge 20 bucks for that Trolls World Tour trash, then we can charge 30 for Mulan'. :camby:

For the record, Trolls World Tour was a 48 hour rental and Mulan is permanent as long as you remain a Disney+ subscriber so you do get more "value" for your money in comparison even if both prices are absurd.

According to Insider, a representative for Disney Plus confirmed that the $29.99 cost is not a one-time rental, saying that Disney+ subscribers "will have continuous access to the film for as long as they remain subscribers to the service."

How is it anymore greedy than putting it on VOD and you're essentially buying it

They gotta recoup their money some how, this flick already had mad promo and it's premiere before covid hit. It's going to lose money regardless tho

I get this is being done out of circumstance, but I don't think this is a precedent you want to set when your service has only had two(three if you include Hamilton) noteworthy releases thus far. I would have released it to VOD at this price while making it free on Disney+. Incentivize people to buy your streaming service. Netflix is out here releasing Best Picture nominees and action blockbusters at no extra cost, while only doing limited screenings for awards purposes.

I guess they're thinking making it free in Disney+ will potentially ruin their big "opening weekend" numbers for future Pixar movies once the world gets back to normal.

Then keep it in the tuck until the world gets back to normal:manny:If the world was hit with the Rona months before Endgame released, and Disney+ existed, they wouldn't even consider putting it on a streaming service. I'd safely assume whatever they make off of people willingly dropping $30 for this will still be less than they would make if they merely waited until they could release it in theaters.

I think the Pixar name is unfukkwittable at this point and these live action remakes have all been hits.

Apparently Disney+ has reached 60M subscribers, which was their low-end goal by 2024, so unfortunately they’re probably not too concerned with incentives

Netflix had 150+ million subscribers before Disney+ even dropped and they went even harder in the paint. Disney has multiple income streams though so maybe they're not worried about building their streaming base:yeshrug:
