Mulan skips theatrical release

The much-delayed live action remake of Mulan will be skipping traditional theatrical window to release on a streaming platform, but for a price. Mulan will go straight to Disney Plus, which has over 60.5 million paying subscribers, reports a website.
After several delays to its theatrical release date, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said that Mulan will premiere on the service on a “premiere access” basis in the US and other select markets at a premium price of $29.99 (Rs 2,244.67), beginning September 4.
The film will be released theatrically in markets where the streaming platform is not available.
New Zealand filmmaker Niki Caro’s Mulan is about a fearless young Chinese woman who disguises as a male warrior in order to save her father.
Mulan features Crystal Liu as Mulan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung; Tzi Ma as Zhou, Jason Scott Lee as Bori Khan; Yoson An as Honghui; Ron Yuan as Sergeant Qiang; with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. Disney CEO Chapek also shared that the “Mulan” release on the streaming platform is a one-time event. (IANS)
