“Mulan”, Disney’s live-action remake of its animated classic, will finally drop on Disney Plus on September 4 in North America, Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek was quoted by several US media outlets as saying on Tuesday.
Chapek announced during the company’s Q3 earnings call that the film will be available in most Disney Plus markets, including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and a number of countries in Western Europe beginning September 4 on a premiere access basis. The price is $29.99 in the US and will vary slightly in other countries, he added. According to Chapek, the film will also premiere in reopened theaters in territories where Disney Plus is not available, including China, where cinemas in low-risk areas already reopened on July 20.
Originally scheduled to be released in March, the long-awaited film, with a reported budget of 200 million dollars, has been pushed back several times amid the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Chapek, the pandemic has forced the company to think of “different approaches” to better serve consumers. “In order to meet the needs of consumers during this unpredictable period, we thought it was important to find alternative ways to bring this exceptional family-friendly film to them in a timely manner,” said Chapek.
