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

        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
