Mulan coming to Disney+ on September 4th... for $30

Why would anyone spend $30 to watch this when they could just watch the animated version?

[Britneylandia]

$30?? LOL What are they thinking?? 

It would be cheaper to go to the theater and buy pop corn and coke lol.

Even buying the physical movie would be cheaper!!!

This makes no sense at all 

[NastyT]

It’s $30 to recoup the costs of the films budget.  If there is 4 person household watching, then it’s cheaper than going to the movies. If you are single and live alone, invite friends and charge them haha

I’m more sad at the thought of Wonder Woman 1984 being released on video without a proper release  the trailer for the movie is one of the best I’ve ever seen and it features one of my all-time favorite songs  

but Disney you have brought dishonor to us all 

[bitbitboi]

Isn't the average cost of a movie ticket in the US like a third of that price? (I just googled)
They are crazy.
But I feel like the movie will be amazing.

Seriously $30 ON TOP of the subscription price for RENTING (not owning).

You can literally buy a movie ticket for a third of that price or buy the dvd for much less as well.  I feel like they are using this to test how much they mooch off people, especially from the 'crazy rich Asians' (a stereotype of a specific class of Asians who don't mind spending a lot of money), because they said themselves they're 'using this movie to test the market'.

here in brazil we dont have disney+ 

maybe the movie still in plans for cinema here 

Yes they announced it's still coming to theatres for countries who don't have Disney+.  So you'll be able to watch it for cheaper on a huge screen vs. everyone else having to rent it for an additional $30.

I already pay for the subscription, they aren’t getting any more out of me 

Im also over live action remakes of the classics that didn’t need to be remade nor bring anything new to the table.

at first I was like "wtf $30 is ridiculous" but when you think about it...

they spent millions and millions of dollars on this movie and they need to make a return on it some how.. looking at the trailer it looks super high budget

plus, this type of on demand pricing is kind of common, it's done for wrestling matches and stuff. $30 is more expensive than a movie theater ticket but when you think about a group watching it at once it's actually cheaper.

A family/group of 4 going to see the movie in theaters at the regular ticket price of $12 would cost $48 so being able to watch it at home would be cheaper in that case

Or if you had a watching party with 10 friends (not recommended during COVID but anyways) you'd each be able to watch a new theatrical movie for just $3 each.

Not interested in Mulan in the slightest, I'd pay $60 for Black Widow though...

Personally I’m excited! Who knows when theaters will really be open again. This movie was already supposed to come out 5 months ago. $30 is a little expensive, but they’ll probably still lose a lot of money. A family of 3 would spend $30 (probably much more, at least where I live) on tickets alone. Really, even 2 ppl on a date would spend that much.  Not to mention how much they would spend on snacks and drinks. Really it’s only expensive if you were planning to go to a matinee alone, or wait 6-12 months until it was put on Disney plus, which really makes no difference for you. This is a film that could have potentially made a billion dollars at the box office, like Aladdin or The Lion King. They can’t just lose all that money. Plus if you pay $15 to see it at the theater, you only get to watch it once. I’m sure with this happening you’ll be able to watch it as many times as you want for 48 hrs or something.

I'll bite. I'm not thrilled. I'd rather go to the movies but none are open and I really wanna see this. I'd be surprised if tenet wasnt 35 or 40 when it goes to vod. Anything with a budget over 200 million will never be cheaper than $30 to rent.

Great reason for parents to let the kids watch the original and get kids back to appreciating 2D animation. 
 

Or Disney, how about not remaking your classics by giving it a glitzy live action treatment and use those funds to make better films? 
 

I really want to see this film but I’ll wait till their “dvd” release. $30 can get me A LOT OF THINGS

I hope this will be the end of those stupid live action remakes
