site posted:Love to ardently refuse to put movies on my premium subscription service so I can watch my quarterly profits tank given how long it’ll be before theaters can return to semi-normal operations, I wonder if they might even consider releasing movies to the standard Disney+ service and forgoing the Premier Access fee. it’d be an extreme loss-leader, I imagine, but these are extreme times and maybe it’d be worth it in the long run to keep people subscribing while preventing further knock-on delays? idk

The problem is that from what I hear Disney+ actually has pretty decent retention numbers already, so they may have already made most of the money they would have there.

I mean at this point I'd be surprised if Disney+ wasn't hemorrhaging subs because they haven't put any new content on it since mando last year. I dunno what their reluctance is E: ^^^ if true I wonder what it is thats keeping people paying for it

They were definitely supposed to have Falcon and Winter Soldier by now, but they absolutely launched too early.

I wouldn't even mind the premier access route if they weren't charging thirty five loving dollars. $15 seems fair, $20 is pushing it but I'd probably do it for an mcu movie at least.

I'd probably pay the $30 for an MCU movie because that's about what a whole-rear end trip to the movies usually costs for me.

Arist posted:They were definitely supposed to have Falcon and Winter Soldier by now, but they absolutely launched too early. their plan seemed to be to coast on the back catalog for the first seven months of 2020, then have FatWS, Mando S2, and WandaVision pick things up for the last five months of the year, before kicking their originals pipeline into full gear for 2021 and beyond. Weird but not necessarily terrible given the strength of their back catalog, but obviously COVID threw a wrench in things

Arist posted:I've seen people grumbling about how it would suck if Black Widow, of all possible characters, isn't able to get a theater release for her movie, but at the same time, I'm not sure what Disney would be expected to do. They have to release the movie eventually. No. I'm not spending 30 bucks to rent a movie. I dropped that on Bill&Ted because now it's in my amazon library and I can watch it whenever and however many times I want. If it's like fifteen bucks, I'll probably rent it. But otherwise I'm gonna act like it's 2005 again.

The Disney + premier pass stuff you can watch for as long as you have the service right? So it's more like buying than renting.site posted:I mean at this point I'd be surprised if Disney+ wasn't hemorrhaging subs because they haven't put any new content on it since mando last year. I dunno what their reluctance is Hamilton might not exactly be new, but it was a big buzzy release for them.

I have D+ free with Verizon for a little while longer, though once that's done, I'm definitely dropping it except like once a year if Mandalorian continues.

Like, I don’t use it all that often but 7 bucks a month is worth paying so I can toss on a marvel movie or some old Simpsons when I feel like it.

I dunno what their reluctance is They rushed Hamilton onto their system for July. And they removed the free Week of Disney + stuff, so confident were they that people would want Hamilton that they'd get a free week, watch Hamilton and then quit. Which in fairness isn't a bad strategy.

It’s also the only way to stream the first 9 Seasons of the simpsons over and over unless you can still watch them on fx’s website or whatever.

FlamingLiberal posted:I'm wondering if there will still be theater chains around by the time the next Marvel movie comes out good question, depends how long they can afford to stay closed or if they do another reopening like they did with Tenet - for, say, No Time to Die or WW84 - that fails. more expensive to keep a theater open when business is bad than it is to keep it closed

Maybe Benedict Cumberbatch? That was less because he was a bad choice and more that it was a bit on the nose.

They should just focus on casting someone who would be good at Jen Walters, since I imagine She-Hulk will have to be CGI. So hopefully someone with some good comedy chops.

I wonder what they’re going to do with casting for characters that were in the Netflix series if they use those characters again, speaking of Rosario Dawson. Some of the casting there was great but I’m guessing they don’t want people associating stuff with the Netflix series too closely.

From the rumor mill I think their instructions to the casting director was for "an Alison Brie-type" for the She-Hulk role.

Alison Brie really wants the role, and I think would be great in it personally, but that sounds like what they really want is Alison Brie, but younger, because Hollywood is horrible.

In the middle of Gina Carano's idiocy she said Pascal spoke to her and educated her, but she took the wrong lesson from it anyway because she's a moron.

Yeah she started with a "I'm not putting my pronouns in" rant, then said Pascal talked to her and she learned some things. Then came back later with the boop beep thing. She says it's because she was being bullied for not showing support by not having any pronouns listed. Any community that gets big enough online will have people that do that. But it's not representative and that's a very dumb response.
