Disney’s decision to dropMulanon Disney+ (albeit with the additional fee) shook up the movie industry, which had faced theater shutterings and release delays due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Alongside Warner Bros.‘Tenet,Mulanwas eyed as one of the major blockbusters of the year that could revive struggling theaters. But its release on Disney+ served as a test for whether an expensive blockbuster likeMulancould make back its budget on streaming and ultimately forego the need for theaters. No concrete viewership data has yet been released by Disney, but app download research film Sensor Tower reported that Disney+ saw aspike in app downloadsfollowingMulan’s first weekend on the platform. Although the film has been met with mixed reviews and a tepid response in China,Mulanhas allegedlymade more moneyon its premium Disney+ VOD run thanTenet’s entire box office haul so far.
We’ll see ifMulanwill continue that streak when it expands to Vudu, FandangoNow, and other VOD platforms, or if viewers will simply wait until December to stream the movie for free on Disney+.
Mulanwill be available to watch on VOD platforms onOctober 6, 2020.
