Could Disney offer different levels of Disney+?

Rather than just offering Premium Access for certain movies, should Disney offer a 12 month contract for something like $100 a year for same day home streaming for all their movies? If they could get 10 million consumers to pay that, it would give them $1 billion to cover production costs of movies. Offering this worldwide and it could be huge. I am willing to pay $250 a year for the current Disney triple play plan and all Disney Fox movies on a day and date streaming service. I used to subscribe to AMCs monthly plan but most likely will not do so in the future but a Disney plan for home viewing is definitely worth $10 a month or $100 a year. Therefore, regular Disney Plus could offer all new movies at 90 days, Disney Plus Gold could offer all new movies at 45 days , for maybe $50 a year and Disney Plus Platinum could offer all movies at opening day.

Interesting idea. I could see them doing something like this after the pandemic is over. Chapek already hinted at Disney releasing more movies via D+ in the future beyond just Mulan and Raya. Basically saying that you can't put the genie back in the bottle now that consumers have gotten used to watching new releases at home.

So yeah I'd be willing to do this as well.

Releasing via Disney+ is here to stay. I guess the question is will it stay concurrent with cinema releases as they’ve done with Mulan and Reya or will theatres still get some exclusive time before? I guess the answer will depend on how people change their behaviours post covid and how much streaming via theatre releases make for the mouse.

I think it'll also depend on the movie as well. For example some of the smaller budget films may get day-and-date releases to theaters and D+, but a Marvel blockbuster for example might not.

But I agree streaming new releases is here to stay in one form or another.
