I'm the same Moola, I'll watch the movie in the cinema as well.
They don't call it cinematography for nothing.
RS that's good news if it's the case, when I posted it was off the back of reading an article which specifically said those countries that have Disney+ won't get it in the Cinema but I guess it's just all based on the writers interpretation of what Bob Chapek said. It makes more sense to give as much exposure as possible to a film that cost so much to make. I'll certainly will see it with my wife if it's released in Cinema but won't spend $30 to watch it on Disney+.
Good points Investeroid
Yes this is definitely a political move.
Just look at what happened to Tik Tok in recent days...timing is not coincidence. If Mulan came out in theatres, it may have faced a backlash as anti-China sentiment is high in USA
Candlestick posted this which was very clear on the matter:
“In countries where Disney+ isn't available, AS WELL as in countries where theaters are open and operating safely, Mulan will still be given a theatrical rollout.“
I also believe the anti-Chinese sentiment strong-armed Disney as well as to recoup their losses from their Disney parks.
Unfortunately, this isn't the year for movies like Mulan.
What this does mean is Labor day in the US will be able to showcase Tenet and should have a stronger reception.
Anti-Chinese sentiment is high in western countries due to Covid-19, Huawei and 5G, Uighur camps etc.
It is likely this is all a political move by Disney looking to distance itself from the tit for tat furor currently being played out by the West and China.
Rather than seeing Mulan flop in the West, they're not releasing it in the West at the box office to save face and dualy are running an expensive experiment to see how it would fair on PVOD.
It'll be on PirateBay and other illegal online streaming sites within 24 hours of release. That and the fact Twitter, Facebook and comments on movie sites are filled with disgrunted punters at the loss of the big screen experience and what they think is an extortionate price for effectively a movie rental.
Bad play by Disney, but hey, it'll likely be successful in China.
