Pieter Boelen 740 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 How about they release the soundtracks on the originally intended movie air date?

The opportunity is for sure there. Asian influence has been known to bring out the best in Media Ventures composers before. Klaus Badelt's "The Promise", for example. And "The Last Samurai" plus part of the third Pirates of the Caribbean. So I'm hoping for something good... Jules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,372 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I feel bad about Mulan's director Niki Caro. She pulled an effort to make a visually stunning movie that needed to be watched on the big screen... Only for people to rent it and watch on their own TV sets. On the positive side, at least we'll get HGW's score released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,436 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Pretty shitty deal, even if you "own" the film after paying $30 (which is not clear), presumably you can only watch it while you're still subscribed to Disney+.

Smeltington 1,436 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Looks like you get to "keep" the film for $30. But still, I doubt you can watch if you ever cancel your Disney+ subscription.

Edmilson 7,372 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Still, it's not comparable with the theatrical experience, specially an IMAX screen.

mstrox 6,637 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I don't like the idea of additional-pay streaming content on Disney+! Of course, on Disney+, every red cent goes into their pockets, so it makes financial sense, despite the fact that I'd personally keep pay-per-view stuff separate from a streaming service I already subscribe to. This looks too old for our kid anyway, so by the time we're ready to watch it, I'm sure it'll be free-to-stream on there. 3 hours ago, Edmilson said: I'm a big fan of watching movies in the theater, it's an experience that no smartTV can replicate. Well, I think we all are, but there's a global pandemic on... If they did this for the next MCU movie, we'd probably pay it - assuming you get to "keep" access to it. $30 is much less than what we'd have paid to see it in theaters.

I read somewhere that this situation with Mulan is an exception due to the pandemic, and after things get back to normal Disney will continue to prioritize theatrical.

Movies such as Endgame, Lion King, Infinity War, Black Panther, the three Star Wars Sequels, etc., made a lot of money for them, much more than what they'd earn just with streaming and pay per view. And it's not just the big movies, stuff like Joker, Parasite, 1917, Sonic, etc., also were huge hits on theatrical. These days, I'd say cinemas are for the movies that can turn themselves into a must see event. If you can't be an event, people won't get out of their houses and pay $50 bucks to watch your film. Disney may experiment with Mulan, but I'd say they're going to earn with this experience much less than what they'd do in a normal situation.

Edmilson 7,372 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I don't buy that. Theatrical last year was as profitable as ever, and going to the movies is still a popular activity. It's a big industry that provides jobs for countless people around the world that won't simply "die" because someone said so. When things get safer, whether it's due to a vaccine or a new cure, people will return to the cinemas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite animated films. With an absolutely stellar score. Gregson-Williams sure has his work cut out for him! And I hope he throws in at least one nod to the original. I don't expect anything on the level of Goldsmith. But then... Klaus Badelt on The Promise did pretty darn well too! So this might yet be worthwhile.

This is one film that I do believe lends itself well to a live-action approach.
