Disney will now be streaming its big-ticket films at a premium price in countries where theatrical release looks improbable for now.&nbsp;

The case in point is Disney’s ‘Mulan’ that has seen its release date being shifted, postponed and then indefinitely stalled owing to the coronavirus crisis. Now, to aid the makers of these films, Disney has announced that these films will be made available in countries where theatrical release is not possible at the moment -- at a premium price.&nbsp;

In case of ‘Mulan’, it will be made available to viewers in the US and other select markets beginning September 4 at a premium price of $29.99.

This decision could serve as a major blow to theatre owners who were hoping for a turn around with these films like ‘Mulan’ and Warner Bros., ‘Tenet’. ‘Tenet’ will release on August 26 in some countries. It is scheduled for a US release on September 3.&nbsp;

In case of ‘Mulan;, the film will be made available to Disney+ customers in Canada, New Zealand, Australia and many Western European countries.

In a call with investors, Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Chapek stressed that Mulan is a "one-off." Yet he also addressed the potential of PVOD. He said, “We’re very pleased to be able to bring Mulan to our consumer base that has been waiting for it for a long, long time as we've had to unfortunately move our theatrical date several times. We are looking at Mulan as one-off as opposed to saying there is some new business windowing model that we are looking at."

"That said, we find it very interesting to be able to take a new offering to consumers at that $29.99 price and learn from it and see what happens not only in terms of the uptick of the number of subscribers we got on the platform, but also the number of transactions we get on that PVOD offering," Chapek continued.

Disney's 'Mulan' to stream on OTT at a premium cost in select countries amid COVID crisis

Looks like 2020 is going to be a no show for cinema halls across the world. Just days after the release of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/release-of-christopher-nolans-tenet-pushed-back-indefinitely-due-to-coronavirus-314797">Christopher Nolan's big-ticket 'Tenet'</a> was pushed indefinitely, Walt Disney Co has now decided to delay the release of its live-action film 'Mulan'. 
 
The move is being termed as a new blow to theatre operators that were counting on the live-action film to attract crowds to the theatres amid pandemic. 
 
'Mulan' was scheduled to reach theaters in March but its release has been postponed several times as many cinemas remain closed. The film had most recently been set to debut on August 21 and theater operators had hoped it would help spark a late-summer rebound for movie-going. 
 
Apart from Mulan, Disney has also announced its decision to delay the filming of its two big sequels of hit franchises- 'Avatar' and 'Star Wars' by an year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.&nbsp; The filming of 'Avatar' sequel had begun in New Zeland earlier this month and it&nbsp; is not known yet if the production has been halted.

The 'Avatar' sequel is now set to debut in theaters in December 2022, and the next 'Star Wars' movie in December 2023. 
 
"It’s become clear that nothing can be set in stone when it comes to how we release films during this global health crisis," a Disney representative said. "Today that means pausing our release plans for `Mulan` as we assess how we can most effectively bring this film to audiences around the world." 
 
The AMC and Cineworld movie theater chains on Thursday pushed back the reopening date for their US theaters to at least mid-August from the end of July. 
 
The 'Avatar' delay also removes one of next year`s biggest movies. Disney has not released details on the next 'Star Wars' film.
