Disney announced during an investors call Tuesday that the studio will release their oft-delayed live-action retelling of Mulan on the Disney+ streaming service on September 4, 2020. Internationally, the film will be available in cinemas in regions that don't yet have Disney+. Mulan will premiere on Disney+ on September 4 for "on a premiere access basis" for $29.99. That's for rental not purchase. "In addition to the U.S., Mulan will be made available to Disney+ customers in Canada, New Zealand, Australia and many Western European countries," according to THR. "In territories where it doesn't debut on the streaming service, Mulan will be made available to cinemas."

The media giant made the announcement while also announcing some very good news -- Disney+ has passed 60.5 million subscribers -- and some very bad news -- the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Disney Parks saw Disney take "a $3.5 billion hit to operating income and a loss of $2 billion" -- to shareholders. The release of Mulan had already been delayed several times this year due to the pandemic causing cinemas to close worldwide. The film was originally slated for a March 27 release before it was postponed to July 24 and then to August 21. There had been chatter for months that Mulan could bypass theaters in favor of a digital debut. A Wall Street analyst suggested in May how Mulan debuting on Disney+ could actually help Disney stock "in a perverse way." Will you pay $29.99 to watch Mulan from the safety of your home?
