After delisting Mulan from a potential theatrical run in June, Disney has firmed up its plans for its newest live-action remake. Starting September 4, Mulan will premiere exclusively on Disney+ in various territories, including the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, according to Disney CEO Bob Chapek.
Unlike other Disney+ streaming premieres, however, Mulan will launch with an extra price point on top of the service's $7/mo subscription rate. Paying Disney+ users in the US will have to fork over an additional $30 for what Chapek described as "premiere access,"
which likely equates to a temporary rental of the film instead of full-blown ownership a la platforms like iTunes and Amazon Video. Other territories' rates have not yet been confirmed. (Chapek took the opportunity to confirm that Disney+'s worldwide subscriber numbers are somewhere near 60.5 million.)[Update, 9:30pm ET: Disney has since confirmed that a $30 payment for Mulan will permanently unlock it in your Disney+ account, so long as you remain a paying subscriber.]
The beginning of the end of movie theaters?

I'm one of those, I've already seen that crows. Except for a very select few movies. Now, if I liked the movie well enough, I'm up for watching it with someone who hasn't watched it before. I'm just not much into watching the same thing over and over.
Of course, I'm a dad, so all shows that kiddo can watch are an exception. Thankfully, I don't believe in letting my kid watch mindnumbingly stupid things like Barney, et al.
