Sometimes they do, and at times they know when to cut their losses. Like with Greyhound.
Plus they'll go and re-edit or do reshoots after seeing the release and getting reaction from the test screenings.
Live action Mulan now on Disney Plus 9/4/2020 for 30 bucks.

there's plenty of movies that once completed the studios knew or strongly suspected the movie was going to tank. Sometimes, they get shelved for years, other times they do a quick release just to recoup some money and call it a day. Or as someone mentioned, they spend a shit load of money on reshoots (see Justice League and Solo).
exactly.
some movies get made and get shelved permanently. there are completed movies that will never see the light of day rotting on studio shelves/servers.
Ok so i asked my ex about this..
So this is what I got
Disney NEEDS money
but this is ALSO an EXPERIMENT
if they get a good number?
Yup this is gonna be a THING and maybe create like a second tier primere service WITHIN the app
If it fails or the public HATES it?
Its gone.
So far the industry thinks its a BAD idea its like you ENCOURAGING bootlegging.
Also if you purchase it, anyone sharing your subscription sees it too so...
And also the AUDIENCE they targeting? Are VERY prone to get this movie in other ways.
Just saying.
You are correct regarding after the movie is made. I should have clarified. I was speaking moreso regarding before the movie is made. The decision to go to shelve a movie is after the advanced screenings. But again, no movie studio produces any movie thinking it is going to brick. They find this out only after they have committed finances.
Nonetheless, movies will have smaller budgets. There is no question about this.
seems to be the early consensus
and I think maybe we all gonna decide the future with this one
understood.
However, I do find it funny that once a studio commits they will go through with it and complete it no matter what. I don't think there has ever been a case where a major studio realized they made a mistake green-lighting a movie and just said fuck it and pulled the plug in the middle of production. Now I have heard studios halting production if it is still in the early stages, even if a lot of money has been spent. Supposedly, Denzel made a shit load of money with American Gangster because of his original pay or play contract.
This movie was always for the international crowd to begin with. I think the real test for American audience's would be with a movie like Tenet or maybe Black Widow
I mean specifically how these streaming services and VOD gonna progress from here on out.
facts...
but look at how that sh*t show Artemis Fowl was released on the app...
it was a MESS and even they version they released had continuity errors and honestly made no damn sense.
But they had ALREADY invested so much money they HAD to release it..
but made MORE in this case and saved face and got +GOOD PUBLICITY
over a REAL theatrical release where hey would have LOST even MORE. with the bad press bad ticket sales etc.
sidebar..
We STILL gonna get a Hamilton theater release when all is said and done
BOOK IT.

I wouldn't say Disney needs money per say but they are like you said trying this out to see how it goes over. But if this is successful would Disney scale back the costs on upcoming movies and lets not forget they got that huge FOX catalog now too, they could play around and do some reboots that would not be so upfront costly.
^^^^
when I say NEED money of course I mam being factious but you KNOW what I mean...
they aint trying to take any more losses especially for projects they were projected to be money makers.
you are 200% correct I think the app gonna be a real STRONG viable options for series etc from fox don't forget HULU

The school should not be paying $30. Then they would not make money. A school got to pay a crazy license fee.
Mulan could have made them 500m-1billion worldwide.
Now, they might be just breaking even.
Movies are over.

I think you'll get it for a 24hr viewing window... watch it as many times as you want
My boy had rented a movie like that, on demand I think it was and as soon as it hit 24 hours that bitch stopped playing... he say he was mid movie and it just went blank, sopranos style
yeah thing is?
Kids aint gonna like that especially during quarantine
they can watch the animated version as much as they want...along with ALL the other live action versions
while they WAIT for this to be free
and bgol studios open 24/7/365.
OI am VERY curious how the mouse gonna play this during a difficult economic time in the country and kids home.
Whats a good VPN?
The same was said about this movie and the Greyhound movie, but everyone sees that there is no foreseeable end to the virus thing which means interest adding up on those loans so they will have to except losses. Movies making 1 billion returns won’t come till both economy and virus are handled.

If a good amount of ppl do the $30 buy I defintely think this can be a feasible business model for North America but China had became the new #1 market for box office and that's the market you still need box office, Japan and Europe for some movies but definitely Chinese box office
true...but we need to see if that happens AGAIN.
don;t get me wrong that sh*t SHOOK the theaters
but notice the new deals?
I don;t know if you can BANK on that..
but it IS a game changer
I would think New Mutants would have been a PERFECT test case for this.
ain't nobody trying to pay to see new mutants.. New mutants is something you throw on Netflix for free during a tropical storm.. You see all the rain outside and be like look at this disaster now let me watch a disaster on tv ..clicks on new mutants
