Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

The average cost of a movie ticket rose to $9.26 in the second quarter of 2019, up from $9.01 during the first three months of the year, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO).Jul 18, 2019

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.

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.

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.

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

New Disney streaming service to take Star brand
Disney is to launch a new international general entertainment streaming service in 2021.

It will use the Star brand acquired by Disney as part of its acquisition of properties from News Corp.

During a call following Disney’s third quarter earnings, CEO Bob Chapek said the new platform would be similar to the US domestic Hulu with a broader entertainment service for a more mature audience.

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

Quote:
In the decades since its launch, the Discovery Channel has almost entirely cornered the market on compelling series chronicling all perspectives of science, technology, and pop culture, with the network's CEO confirming recently that the network was launching an all-new streaming service featuring all of the kinds of programming you expect from the network. Details about the service are currently unclear, though it sounds like the service will feature not only new content but will also be home to at least a portion of the service's already released content, with no name or launch date being revealed about the service.

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

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.

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.

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