mulan for $30 and basically once youre no longer a subscriber you lose access.
and to top it all, Disney said the movie will be free after 3 months. The sad part it people are dumb and will still pay for it. --- "Look, if you're going to do what you want, I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it." ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess I can understand it from the perspective of trying to earn at least some of the profit they were expecting if the theater industry wasnt totally fucked, but still feels like there would be better ways of doing it.

I just don't quite understand what the rush is. Why not just hold onto it and release it when the world is safe again? There's no way you're going to get anywhere near close the amount of the budget back.

because they've got other, better movies they plan to release when the world is safe again So spread them out? Release them once a month until you're good to go.

So spread them out? Release them once a month until you're good to go. Why lose tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars if you don't need to?Because it's about getting money now. They can't save things for some hypothetical future because then investors are losing money. I work at a pharmaceutical company and its the same shit. The company cannot think ahead past the next financial quarter. They would rather get a little bit now than a lot later, especially when they've already invested money in a product. --- ...

Simply pushing everything back is not an option any studio is going to entertain. More importantly, Mulan is a test for Disney. Nobody has released a blockbuster movie straight to digital rental before. Disney is experimenting to see what sort of market exist for a major movie release at a $30 price point. If it does well, I would fully expect Black Widow to get a similar treatment. --- S*** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again. - Forgotten Love The Chiefs won the Super Bowl! ...

I will not give any financial support to that film whatsoever due to the actress being a CCP mouthpiece. Fuck that bitch. I will watch it for free and then troll Wechat with comments about it.

I'm not sure why Mulan is hated so much. I think it looks goodOf all their remakes, it's the one that is most different from the original, to the point that it barely qualifies as a remake. It's essentially a complete genre shift. Plus the remakes have been controversial from the word go (and many are of questionable quality). This also ties in to the movie being targeted at a primarily Chinese audience rather than an American audience (this has been increasingly the case for years in Hollywood but likely never to this extent). That makes many American movie goers uncomfortable or defensive. Combined with anti China sentiment in the US being at it's highest point in decades, the film has become sort of the mascot for "everything wrong with Disney and Hollywood" --- ...

Ours is open already. Several of the big theaters in my area closed for good partway though the initial lockdown. I'm just not sure that they will survive such a large downturn when they weren't doing very well to begin with. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!

$30 is insane. I could see $5-10.$5-10 means that even if the movie sold like gangbusters, it still wouldn't be a success. Especially when you consider the average customer is not watching the movie by themselves. In a theaterless world either people will need to get used to $30 a movie or movie budgets are going to shrink a ton. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!
