Makes sense actuallyI’ve heard if Mulan gets pulled from Theatrical release, it will go to PVOD first before hitting Disney+. Sort of like what they did with Onward when theaters shut down.

Not a Hamilton-sized hit, but it should be fairly popular.This feels like it could be a Hamilton sized hit for D+. I always felt like this show was cancelled at the absolute peak of its popularity.

It’s VOD with more steps.Disney saw this coming and they took away the free trial. So from Disney’s perspective, if people sign up and delete on the same day, at least they’re getting $7 from every person unlike when people waited for Mandalorian to finish and people signed up for a 7-day trial to binge watch and they took in no money.
I was gonna mention that yesterday, but couldn’t remember 100%.I keep seeing people say Phineas and Ferb was cancelled. Y’all do realize it was the creators decision to end the show, right?
So it seems Disney is doing what I thought they wouldn’t do and adding most FOX Marvel movies. I assumed Disney+ would be MCU exclusive only.
Josh Trank’s botched “Fantastic 4” was added in the middle of June and this coming week (June 10th), X-Men: Days of Future Past is being added and the following week, X-Men: Apocalypse is being added. If we get the whole X-Men Saga on here, then that will be a big bonus to the Marvel section. Unfortunately, Logan will never be on the service though.
In a different genre, another FOX movie - The Greatest Showman - is being added later this Summer
I'm glad to hear it, I got the service again mainly for Hamilton, Clone Wars Finale Season and the Mando Documentary wise they did an exit survy asking you why you joining and why you might left.So Disney+ app downloads were up 74% this weekend and there's some raw numbers to go on from Variety. In the article, it says the following:
"The movie premiered on the Disney Plus streaming service on Friday, July 3. From Friday through Sunday, the Disney Plus app was downloaded 752,451 times globally, including 458,796 times in the U.S., according to analytics firm Apptopia."
Of course not every app download means a purchase. I've downloaded the app on many devices (rough estimate between me and my whole family is somewhere around 10-11 downloads, which is probably well more than normal. I have it downloaded on my Roku TV, Apple TV, Xbox, Playstation, phone and my family has it elsewhere) and am paying $4/month with the 3 year plan. So if we assume on a low end that 20% of those downloads are paying customers and the average family downloads it about 4-5 times in various areas, then it is to be assumed that Disney took in $1.05M in new subscriptions globally over the 3 day weekend. If every single one of those downloads purchased a subscription at $7/month (which just simply isn't the case), it would've been a $5.27M 3-day weekend.
So if we're trying to compare to how this would've done theatrically, obviously it would've made more money theatrically on paper, but I think it had far bigger exposure and in the long-term it makes more money for both Disney and Hamilton being on Disney+. It's also probably one of the best things to happen to theater in a long time that it's on Disney+. Many kids who may have never consider performing before watched this weekend and may have come away inspired to want to get into the arts.
