Disney fans: complain about paying $30 to rent a movie while planning their next $200 per night stay at Pop Century.
Mulan soundtrack available on YouTube and the usual streaming services.

Its already jumped to 47%. I expect over the next several days it'll jump even more. Can't take the initial audience reviews seriously.
- In the Parks
- No
Or at least twice that amount at a deluxe.....
…...it's all perspective.....plus it helps keep the Disney boat afloat.....

So I did get Premier Access at shortly after 12am PST (I'm a night owl).
It was a really good movie. I would have loved to see it in a theater, and may if they release it in the US in the future.
Is it like the 90s animated movie, no. But its not meant to be, its meant to be its own thing. I'm going to quote the first line in the movie as spoken by Mulan's father in a spoiler tag that explains this:
The point is this is not meant to be a direct retelling of the animated feature. Its meant to be another version of the legend of Mulan. And I think that is good, its allows both to exist along side each other.
Anyways that is just my take on it.

Yes, it is reasonable, but the question is, was it the best business decision.

I saw it last night as soon as it went live its not that unrealistic that a lot of people have seen it already.

Note that over 800 people rated it one star. These are not legitimate reviews.

How do you know? It's streamed everywhere. It's not hard to rack up 800 reviews with 324 million people in the US. Also, don't discount people putting down $30, seeing the movie, and then despite being able to watch it over and over and over again, one view is enough and people thinking it's not worth the $30 they put down which leads to a 1 star review. Now, I'm saying that before I see it. I could very well like it. But those are two possibilities for the negative reviews.

The #BoycottMulan situation. I am not going to get into it because this isn't the political sub-forum but its all over twitter and you can easily find an article about it.

Oh. No thanks. I may not watch it now because of the $30 but will watch it on its own merits eventually.

Do you honestly think it's likely that the majority of viewers didn't just think it was bad, but thought it was 1-star bad?

Nope. Whenever you have a ton of reviews that are great and a ton that are horrible something REALLY messed up is going on. It could be misogyny. It could be resentment against China. It could be the $30. But I doubt it's just about the movie itself. And I HIGHLY doubt all of the low ratings came from people who actually saw it.

I have to admit that vote distribution seems strange.
