Disney's FY20 Q3 Earnings (8/4/20)

[brianstl]

The Mulan announcement shows a little desperation for revenue and some lack of faith in the film. I thought if they would do this it would be with Black Widow.

$30 for Mulan ON Disney +...LOL

Not bad if you are a family of 4 or more watching.

$29.99 to watch Mulan? Best joke I’ve ever heard! Oh wait... you’re serious Bob?

But it's still cheaper then a ticket (nearly $15) and some popcorn. Might as well add in the gas needed to get there. Plus you can watch it repeatedly. I'm not looking forward to it but it's a welcome addition.

Except that I'm already paying for access to Disney+...

 

[Creathir]

Why would I pay $29 on top of the subscription price to watch a movie on my TV....?

How dumb.

 

[Brer Oswald]

Mulan to be released on Disney+ September 4th - $29.99.

They’re kidding themselves with that price. $30 plus the entry fee if you don’t already have D+? New movie tickets are typically $15 in Canada.

The number in the earnings statement was end of June. The number he announced on the call is yesterday which factors in a potential bump from Hamilton on July 3rd.

That's explicative. Thanks.

I'll wait until it's on...

oh, wait...

Anyway, I'm not paying $29.99 to see it.

High. But similar to prices we saw for other movies that released as “streaming cinema” earlier this year. I wouldn’t pay but I bet others would.

Was that supposed to be a joke? 0% chance I'm paying on top of a subscription.

 

[bartholomr4]

Gotta keep making those debt payments somehow.

The current debt due is $10 Billion. So they still have increased Cash by $7 Billion.

It's the classic upcharge pioneered in the parks.

Mulan to be released on Disney+ September 4th - $29.99.

Heard this and my jaw just about dropped. Can't see the majority of subscribers paying it when they've set the expectation for movie premieres with Artemis Fowl and Hamilton.

I wonder how long it stays at that price until it’s discounted/baked into the service.

Not bad if you are a family of 4 or more watching.

People don’t look at it that way...that’s above the price point.

It’s an interesting premise...we’ll
See what happens.

IF I had to guess...they saw what happened with the trolls direct release, liked it...but with the self control of a sailor off a sub for the first time in 6 months...jacked it. (Edit: the price!! Don’t mod me)

O/U 2 weeks

Well, on a 1:1 ratio, that'd be paying $125 to get into the park, then $535 for the upcharge...

Disney plans to roll out STAR for international markets.

It's presumed to be the international version of Hulu.

Thank the NBA, WNBA, and MLS for that
