So they will make around $20 profit for each screening unless they are taking into account what an average family would pay at the cinema rather than an individual.

Either way, they will make a killing

Disney are also launching a new service under the ‘Star’ brand - which may by integrated into Disney Plus - and will be comprised of other content owned under the Disney umbrella and it’s various brands. And it’s likely this is what will be scaled internationally instead of Hulu.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Or not - not sure many are going to pay that much in the current financial climate in US.

I suspect they will expect UK viewers to pay £29.99 to view it.

This is obviously the commercial face of streaming - I would imagine subscribers to Disney+ expected to get all content for their sub, not to pay extra on top.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

As a Disney+ subscriber I don’t expect to have access to made-for-cinema content on the same day it goes on general release, no. If they want to experiment with running a box office service through Disney+ I’m fine with that as long as they don’t muddle up the interface. One of Netflix’s principal advantages over Prime Video is that Netflix doesn’t try to sell you anything whereas Amazon weaves prime and non-prime content together as tightly as it can, which results in a frustrating user experience.

I wouldn’t pay £20 or more for Mulan or anything else though. I pay that and then some to take the family to the cinema, but that’s a cinema with the whole experience that goes with it. My living room is not a cinema, although to be fair the carpet is frequently as filthy as screen one after a matinee once my kids have been loose in it for a few hours.

Welcome to the super-dooper future.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Looks like those good folk at Disney may be giving us yet another opportunity to part with some hard-earned cash. ;)

Discovery too now it seems. https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/...ails-revealed/

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

so there will be another streaming service to pay for !? oh ffs

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

You don't need to sub to it, it's not like they're going to come knocking your door or anything.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

There is a limit to everything as people might fork out for one or two streaming subs but that is as far as most people will go imo.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Not necessarily. In the US, Disney + incorporates Hulu and ESPN, but not here.

However, I don't know whether Disney will incorporate Star within Disney, we'll have to see what transpires.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I can't see the point of incorporating Star into Disney+, the Asian channel audience is a completely different demographic. It would be easier to market a Star-branded app with that content front and centre in the user interface.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

If the intention is to populate Star with Indian shows, I agree.
