As for mulan it made the news again and not in a good way.
Disney got the ok from american chains to put it vod but overseas movies are open and needed mulan to help. Any country that has disney plus will NOT get a big screen release for mulan. UK, france, japan, etc are all screwed. Disney head said this was to get more people to get disney plus.
Now those overseas chains are ticked at disney. They feel betrayed. China chain destroys mulans display over it. Disney did not make many friends over this overseas.

[QUOTE=Gaastra;5081520]Mulan heading to disney plus. And you have to pay $30 to watch it! Yes disney plus is putting a movie behind a paywall like vudu and itunes on disney plus. You can guess how ticked the fans are.
Put it on amazon and vudu like scoob. If they start locking movies behind a paywall on disney plus lots of people are going to be ticked. Plus if this is a hit netflix may do it next then hbo max, then boomerang, then---

I dont see Netflix doing it. I think people understand this movie was intended for theaters. If Netflix did it I think there would be way more outrage. Not really fair to netflix since they spending just as much on some future films.

Guessing this was not un-anticipated by Disney when they arrived at their decision. Betting VOD will work to Disney's advantage within two years.

Bill and Ted and David Copperfield movie are also out but really don't have numbers worth talking about.
Which leaves the big question is what is TENET going to do at Box office

New mutants made $7m. With all the storms going on i'm surprised it made that much.
Also for the first time in some time all top 5 movies are new releases. Goonies after months is out of the top 5.
Spongebob 3 is once again in the top 5. Guess it IS playing in america movie theatres after all.

People are looking for something to do, If the movie was better the number would be higher. I mean way to many Americans have shown a blatant disregard for personal health and safety. I think a good enough movie will bring people back out to theaters. It won't be Tenet tho. I think you need a good fun popcorn flix, It is looking like Wonder Woman will be first test in Oct 2, Then Black Widow in Nov 6
