I would guess you own it but they didn't specify on the call
They have no choice. Theatres won't be a thing in the US for at least a year....if they even make it back out.
Its interesting to see some kind of additional purchase/rental? options inside of D+ considering it is already a sub in and of itself... I didn't think it had that kind of functionality, but I supposed its probably a contingency given the likelihood of Covid related box-office revenue being much lower than expected.
And here I thought Onward would be the norm. Is that just for the rental? Regardless I ain't lying $30 for a digital copy, especially not for fucking Mulan.
Jesus. Imagine if Netflix tried charging $30 for new movies on top of your Netflix subscription. I get that Disney is such a poor company that they can't possibly justify including Mulan in the $100/year I'm paying for Disney+, but at a certain point, it definitely seems like a pretty shit value proposition. There is pretty much a 0% chance I resubscribe once my year is up.
They're going to make it an option because there's no way theaters should be opening for a while.
I'll just wait until it becomes free. Still haven't watched a single one of these live action remakes.
Aren't rentals normally $20 for VOD new releases? $30 is a lot, but it's:
A. Cheaper than taking a family of four to see it in theaters.
B. Maybe the most expensive-to-make film to come out on VOD at the same time as theaters?
I do wonder if they'll do a rerelease later on, or have it available for U.S. theaters throughout the year, considering they'll need movies to show and different states will be at different levels for awhile.

Personally I wouldn't do it for Mulan but definitely would for other family movies. Price would easily exceed that if my wife and I and the two kids go the theater, not to mention snacks. We did the digital release of Trolls World Tour as we were planning on seeing that before theaters shut down
If a family of 3 went to the theaters to watch Mulan, it would cost at least $25-30, if not more. Since they're skipping the theatrical release in most major markets, it makes plenty sense to sell it for $30.
When I see this I just remember how people were talking about having to pay like $400 bucks to get movies day one in their home theater or whatever
If you're taking a family of four to the movies after 5PM, you're going to be paying like $50 before tax. The price isn't that crazy.
Wow, I didn't think Disney would every do a digital release for something as big as Mulan. But if the theaters aren't going to be fully open until December or so guess there isn't another choice.
Three of my friends with families spent $20 for Scoob. They will definitely pay $10 more for Mulan.
