DIsney should do it with Mulan. -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 16:16 19
- I started to tell you that this was a billion-dollar bad idea, but I'm now reconsidering. I'll have to run the numbers on it. -- nm - David Mar 12, 16:29 10
  - I legit think it would be a huge hit for them. - Remlik Mar 12, 16:34
  - is D+ in Asia yet? put Mulan on and fast track D+ in Asia -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 16:30 8
    - It's not in China and probably won't be for a while. The government would regulate the content. - David Mar 12, 16:39 7
      - Could they open it up for specific events, i.e., Mulan? And not the whole corpus? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 16:41 6
        
        Not sure I understand what you're asking. -- nm - David Mar 12, 16:45 5
        
        Could Disney Plus launch the service in China not as a streaming platform, but as a movie premiere service? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 16:50 4
        
        Same tech stack, just an extremely limited selection of Mulan and ... Mulan. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 16:53 3
        
        You can't do anything in China unless the Chinese government is involved, and they're stubbornly not agile for foreigners. -- nm - David Mar 12, 17:03 2
        
        (So, no is the answer.) -- nm - David Mar 12, 17:03 1
        
        C;mon China, I thought you were cool. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 17:27
- Onward - an off-cycle Pixar? - Will Hunting Mar 12, 16:19
- yup. D+ is already set to get a shit ton more subscribers, but doing that would drive it up even more -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 16:16 6
  - charge $40 for it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 16:18 5
    - People wouldn't do it for that. But it still may be worth the growth in the platform. Look at all the money Netflix puts into their original - pmb Mar 12, 16:25 3
      - Hell 2 tickets and popcorn and drinks would run you north of $50 -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 16:35 1
        
        People wouldn't do it anyway. It's way too high relative to other available content even if it's newer. And you're watching it at home instead of a - pmb Mar 12, 16:53
      - I still don't have D+, so they have room to grow -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 16:27
    - or, just wait 4 months and watch it for "free"... -- (edited) - Beaker Mar 12, 16:23

- The joke's funny, but 2014 is also an eternity ago for streaming services. -- nm - David Mar 12, 16:25 1
  - It's that long ago??? Crap we're getting old. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 12, 17:26
