Disney's 'Mulan' makes historic small-screen debut, skips theatresActress Yifei Liu attends the world premiere of Disney's "Mulan" at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 9, 2020. LOS ANGELES: Disney's live-action "Mulan" featuring an all-Asian cast finally premieres Friday, launching on streaming service Disney+ in a bold small-screen gamble that analysts say could change Hollywood forever. Unlike its rival studio, which will have to split box office receipts with theaters, Disney will keep 100 percent of profits for "Mulan," which will cost viewers $30, on top of existing subscriptions. 'This is huge'Easing the decision for Disney was the fact that in China -- where Disney+ is not available -- many theaters have reopened. For the cast, after months of limbo, the film's long-awaited release alone is reason to celebrate.
