Some have predicted that with theaters still mostly closed due to the pandemic, Disney has no choice, but others think Disney will still be waiting for theaters for its biggest franchise.
How did ‘Black Widow’ get here?
The pandemic has caused unique devastation in the film industry, forcing movie theaters to make choices that would never have been close to the table before.
With theaters closing, not only are those choices on the table, but they are asking Disney to make an eyebrow-raising offer. You can see Mulan if you subscribe to Disney + and you have $ 30 to save.
Original, Mulan had to come out in the spring and was actually screened in Hollywood in March. Black widow had to come out May 1, kicking off the summer movie season, as the MCU typically does.

Fans discussed the issue on Reddit, with some saying they would be happy to fork over more than $ 30 if it meant they could see Black Widow. Some mentioned that $ 30 is a lot cheaper than a night out for a family at the movies, when moms and dads can spend $ 100 or so.
One person pointed out, “It’s not that crazy or greedy. You can watch it with your partner and children, or with whoever is in your household. Average US ticket prices are $ 9.16, so it’s equivalent to getting 3.3 tickets to once see an exclusive, new release movie in a theater. ”
Another person notes that Disney may not have much of a choice. “Since Covid will not be going anywhere soon, I think it’s inevitable that BW will follow the same path as Mulan – I have no problem paying $ 30 to see when our family of 4 would pay $ 60 + to see in a theater. “

On the other side of the argument, some fans think that $ 30 is too much to pay for a rental, which is typically priced at $ 6. Even the premium video on demand titles like The King of Staten Island with Pete Davidson have been $ 20. Many fans on the Reddit board think that Disney is just greedy with Mulan and would be with Black widow te.
One person said: ‘I seriously can not imagine paying more than $ 5 for a rental movie rental, let alone one on a subscription platform. Thirty is the price of an expensive theater trip. This just requires piracy. Another said: ‘I paid less than $ 6 to watch Captain Marvel last March. I do not pay 5x as much to see Black widow from my bank, especially when I have the very many other home experience options that I have already paid for to keep me busy. “
Another fan pointed to that as Black widow goes to Disney + subscribers will lose more than money: ‘As much as I’m sure the action sequences in Mulan look great on a big screen, Marvel is also about to clap the fans together and cheer and play. I think a lot of people would miss it without anything. ‘
