Triggering the catastrophe is the closure of cinema halls until further notice. Which lead Disney to make tough decisions regarding their upcoming movie releases.

On extreme public demand, Disney Plus decided to air Live-Action Mulan on their streaming site after a delay. The $200 million budgeted movie was expecting a theatrical release in March 2020. The high budget linked to it prevented the film from streaming directly on the Disney Plus platform.

Surprisingly, Disney Plus has made arrangements to make Mulan’s release on Disney+ a profitable one. By attaching a $29.99 price tag with it, even if you are a subscriber.

The live-action Mulan will stream as a Video-on-demand on Disney Plus. While it wasn’t a cheap movie to make, there is still doubt about how many people will pay the steep price to rent out the most anticipated film.

Mulan releases September 4 on Disney Plus US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, and other major countries. You’ll need a Disney+ VPN to stream it from anywhere.
