If the price is decent, I'll do it if I can't see it in a theater. But Black Widow also is not a top priority for me and I can wait until it reaches Disney+ for just what I pay monthly. Tenet, Dune, Bond, yeah I'd shell out more cash than normal. That's about it. Considering Blade Runner 2049 was a flop, they’d dump Dune on HBO Max before they’d even consider VOD. Was it a flop? $260m doesn't seem bad business overall. |

Are any of you guys actually buying this? Hard pass. It's $30 as an early access fee for a paid subscription service that it's eventually going to be free on anyway. That's a straight up no thank you. |

My Mom and sister are both interested in seeing this, as am I. So, the way I figure it: if all three of us had gone to a matinee at the theater, and we'd gotten snacks as well, then the cost would've come out to close to, right at or just over $30 anyway. Assuming there were no AMC Stubs coupons to use. So, if three people want to watch Mulan on Disney+, the $30 price tag seems more justifiable in that sense.

Just got irrationally upset at the amount of stubs points I have unused on my account.
I think this is still going to do well for Disney. Wonder when they will announce the numbers, would assume right away if it's as good as they think it'll be.

Key words ‘Before it’s available to all Disney+ subscribers.’

Key words ‘Before it’s available to all Disney+ subscribers.’ Just quoting because truth. Patience equals getting it for free. Seeing it an theater with family is worth $30. $30 at home for something we're likely to watch once is bullshit. |

Are they treating this like a theatrical to home video window, i.e. 3 months or so?

It also might depend on when it hits it's theatrical window here, which could be next year.
