Say man, it's dinos being dinos. We've seen this before. We seen it when blockbuster went under. Blackberry fucked themselves. Microsoft dropped the ball with IE and let chrome/firefox in. Yahoo fucked up with Google. Shit always happens. Stubborn dinos and/or sheer arrogance. CEOs are conservative by nature man. They tend to not want to innovate and change until it's too fucking late. It's business 101.
Fuck what you heard, they can track this shit. If you don't believe that shit, you need to do more research on the world we live in.
Now it's what the dinos choose to do with the data. I think they wait until AFTER the election. This election is huge for them. Biden will fuck around and mandate half capacity theaters stateside. Could even close them. Trump won't ever do that. Trump gives them hope. Biden is the nail in the coffin stateside.
this is a masterclass in dino business failures. quote of the year nominee.
Complex: theatre experience I trusteddd youuuMy man. You called it.And they get to keep 100 percent instead of splitting. Theaters shook right about now. Telling you if Biden wins theaters can call it a fucking wrap. Trump wins and he'll keep forcing the economy to reopen and theaters stand a little chance of recovering.
Bottom line is tenet shit the bed and Mulan didn't. We moving closer to domestic streams with international releases. Best of both worlds. Son, I just don't talk shit. I know wtf I'm talking about.
Mulan Has Earned More Than Tenet Just from Disney+ Streaming Alone
‘Mulan’ Has Earned More Than ‘Tenet’ Just from Disney+ Streaming Alone
‘Mulan’ has proven to be a financial windfall from Disney after becoming the first-ever Disney+ Premier release.movieweb.com
2020 is going to be a watershed year for theater chains, and not in a good way. Theaters worldwide have been chafing under social distancing policies and lack of new film releases for months now, and to add to their woes, film studios are finding digital VOD releases to be a surprisingly lucrative market. Case in point, according to a report by Yahoo! Finance, Mulan has made more money on Disney+ than Tenet has with a theatrical release.
According to the report by analytics research firm 7Park Data, a third of the households in America with a Disney+ subscription made the decision to fork over the additional $30 fee in order to stream Mulan on the platform. Earlier, Disney had reported that over 60 million people around the world had a Disney+ subscription. If even 50% of those subscribers are from the company's home base in the U.S., that means roughly 9 million users purchased Mulan for $30, which means the Mouse Empire netted a profit of more than $261 million in America alone, since Disney does not have to share any of the profits with theater chains, as is the case with theatrical releases.
Then there is the fact that Mulan's VOD debut also prompted many new users to opt for a Disney+ subscription, and the profits climb even higher. Compare this to Tenet's struggle to break a $50 million gross with a theatrical release in the U.S., with a worldwide total of a little over $207 million globally, which the studio will have to splitwith the theater chains which are showing the movie.
In another ominous portent of the things to come for theaters, China, one of the few countries where Mulan opened theatrically, provided a lukewarm reception to the film, thus bringing Mulan's VOD earnings into even sharper focus.
Hollywood likes to chase trends, and Mulan's success with a streaming distribution model has definitely been noticed by other studios, while the tepid box-office performance from Tenet has caused the same studios to postpone the theatrical release of upcoming blockbuster movies.
For now, at least, the writing on the wall is clear. Even for big-budget spectacle movies, most audiences prefer to watch the feature at home rather than risking infection with a trip to the cinemas. All it would take is a few more big-budget movies to release on VOD for this preference to turn into a habit, and then we will see the majority of the studios start to opt for a VOD or VOD+theaterical release distribution model going forward.
With theater chains relying on big-budget blockbusters to bring in the box office numbers to keep their businesses afloat, the future looks bleak for the industry in a post-lockdown world.

Disney is trying to decide right now what is the max purchase price people are willing to pay for Black Widow. Its coming.

Well, if that is true and the shit did something like $36 million for the opening weekend it still smoked Tenet. CDC finally admitting the virus is airborne and travels more than 6 feet and we think theaters going to be jam packed stateside in the near future?That shit negligent as fuck. Maybe 2022. Not a damn thing going to happen this flu season for sure. We ain't doing lockdown against so numbers won't go low enough for theaters to go full capacity for a loooooong time.
In order to top those numbers stateside, movies will have to be pulling in $72 million opening weekend because theaters get half.
Best strategy going to be theaters everywhere so at best we get bootleg copies and then VOD stateside a week or two after international.
movie to me was kinda boring.they should have kept it as the cartoon then it would have been good but it was meh .i wont watch it again i know that.

The Failure of "Mulan" Is More Bad News for Hollywood
The film’s disappointing release is further evidence that the pandemic is defeating blockbuster movies.
It's adding up. Watch what they do. Mulan numbers came in and they pushed it back instead of using Disney+. Even for Eternals. So with New Mutants which sucked, they still would rather do theaters.
Why? Money
How many people do you know who actually paid for it?
Nobody I know who's seen it actually paid for it.
No they aren't
It's common knowledge that VOD doesn't draw the same

Meet the Chinese Animated ‘Mulan’ Flipping the Script on Disney’s Film
Gold Valley Film hopes "Kung Fu Mulan" will resonate with local audiences due to traditional values that better appeal to mainland viewers.
variety.com
Chinese audiences didn’t fall in love with Disney’s live-action “Mulan,” but a Chinese firm is betting that its own retelling of the famous ballad may storm the box office in its stead with depictions of traditional values that better appeal to mainland viewers.
Gold Valley Film is set to release its feature animation “Kung Fu Mulan” over the National Day holiday from Oct. 3, where it will compete with fellow animation “Jiang Ziya: Legend of Deification,” patriotic “My People, My Homeland” and the volleyball drama “Leap.”
Somehow, "I told you so" doesn't quite say enough.
