nemu 08/30/20 4:36:49 PM #3:	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. <cite>nemu posted [p:944010248] in Is Disney ...

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. --- https://imgur.com/mmESgwx <cite>Blightzkrieg posted [p:944011064] in Is Disney ...

Movie release dates and plans are rarely haphazard. 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! <cite>Gheb posted [p:944011155] in Is Disney ...

Blightzkrieg 08/30/20 5:10:08 PM #19:	Zikten posted... I'm not sure why Mulan is hated so much. I think it looks good Of 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" --- https://imgur.com/mmESgwx <cite>Blightzkrieg posted [p:944011484] in Is Disney ...
