The people complaining about this likely wouldn't have gone to see this movie in the theatre anyway.
I probably would have ben 50-50 to take my kids to it in theaters, just depending if we had a sunday free one weekend.
I'm 100% waiting until Dec 4th now, and it doesn't bug me at all.
I think picking a specific movie for the theaters has more to do with scaricty of options, at home I have thousands of other choices at my finger tips, so there is no urgency to pay the extra $35.

My son read that they'll do the same for Black Widow if they can't open in theatres. This family of 5 would have gone to see Black Widow. We won't pay extra to watch it early at home. We'll wait until it's a part of our subscription.

It’s funny because you always have had the option of waiting 4 months and seeing it at home for $10.
It’s interesting to see the threshold of when and what people will pay for. I’m the same way though. If it was 6 months though I would probably pay and if it was Infinity War or Endgame where spoilers really mattered I would have paid.

Certainly seems like the release of this movie is a test as studios figure out how to deal with the backlog of movie and start to want to generate cash.
I range at the idea of paying $35 to watchitat home, but I would be ok with $75 to watch it in a theatre.....

Movies get released to rental/streaming so much quicker these days than in the past. Endgame was less than 6 months from release to theatre to release on streaming and that's the highest grossing movie of all time so they milked it in the theatre. I would have bought it at home on day 1 too to avoid spoilers.
I would be surprised to see Black Widow on D+ before it hits theatres but they probably don't want to cannibalize the other movies that are going to be in production and already have planned releases. It's going to be big but probably Antman big, not Thor Ragnarok or Captain America big.

Yeah, but some people actually like the theatre experience and pay for that, in an addition to seeing it earlier. In this case, you don't have the option for the theatre experience, so you are really only paying for early access. There are a million good movies out there that I haven't seen. So early access isn't a big thing. I'm the kind of guy that's going to buy a discounted PS4 after the PS5 comes out.

I have no interest in the Mulan remake, but if they did the same deal with Black Widow I would pay that no problem.

The only way this would work would be if they made you pay for a year up front or something. An extra $5-6 a month for early access that you could just cancel after you saw that one movie would not be worth it to them, like at all.

I’m pretty sure we all knew Disney is evil. But #### like this is not cool.

The film’s end credits, as seen in Disney Plus territories, reveal that the film shot partially in the Xinjiang region, as well as the filmmakers’ fulsome thanks to Xinjiang authorities, including the Turpan Public Security Bureau, and various publicity departments of the Communist Party of China.
Quote:
Xinjiang is the large state in West China where the government is alleged to have incarcerated a million Muslims mainly of Uighur origin, and to have operated other assimilation programs. The Chinese authorities have frequently insisted that what Western governments have identified as prison camps are in fact vocational training facilities.
The recent furor over the film’s Xinjiang connection has caused a storm of bad publicity on social media, and a stiff letter from U.S. Senator Josh Hawley to Disney chief Bob Chapek.
Hawley claims that Disney ignored reports from U.S. government sources and from NGOs describing the human rights abuses in Xinjiang. “[These] did not stop Disney from going to Xinjiang to film ‘Mulan.’ Nor did it stop Disney from collaborating with the Chinese officials directly responsible for the atrocities at those camps,” Hawley said in a Wednesday letter.
Was reading a fan theory that WandaVision is Scarlett Witch going crazy after Infinity War, and creating her own reality where her and Vision are married and reside in a 50's sitcom. That's where we're going to eventually get the white version of Vision.
Guess that kind of makes sense. I have never read any of the comics, so have no idea if that's what's happening.
