  • Disney+ to offer 'Mulan' as $30 in-app purchase on iOS, Apple TV

    I saw this mentioned somewhere last week and people were freaking out about it in the comments. Mostly complaining they should get it free since they’re already paying for Disney+. 

    I’m still of the mindset that $30 at home is still less than tickets for (at least 2), snacks and a babysitter for 4-5 hours, so this sort of thing has a certain appeal. I likely won’t do it for Mulan but there are definitely movies I would pay that for. 
    It's amazing the bitching people are doing over the entitlement that first-run theatrical films should be included even though there was never anything in their marketing that claimed that the live action Mulan movie would be included in their D+ subscription.

    I don't even have to worry about additional costs, like a baby sister, and it's still both cost savings and a major convenience to watch movies at home for $30. I hope other follow suit sooner rather than later because I do want to see Tenet, Black Widow, Wonder Woman 1984, and many others.
    What a flawed and sick perspective on whats something „worth“. You look at what people pay for cinema (a middleman, paying rent and employees etc.) and tell us its okay to pay $30 for rent, since you „can“ pay the same at cinema. But: with a cinema employees working there can feed their kids, i don’t need to have my own equipment, but hey, youre also arguing for taking $40 since apple, the middleman needs to get compensated. What the f* is wrong with you? We don’t care that youve enough money, but what the heck is just wrong with you? Yeah, lets maximise the money we can wrench out of bullshit that people at the bottom will never see again. The marketing (and people like you) will do.
