<p>Disney on Friday announced distribution plans for the hotly anticipated live action remake of “Mulan,” saying the VOD release will be available to Disney+ subscribers as an in-app purchase. </p>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>The entertainment giant earlier <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/08/disney-adds-apple-roku-and-google-as-mulan-pvod-release-partners-1203020104/">in August</a> said the film would hit <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/disney/id1446075923?at=11l4Kw">Disney+</a> as a paid exclusive on “premier platforms,” but failed to name partner providers, <em>Deadline</em> reports. </p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>According to a Disney+ <a href="https://www.disneyplus.com/welcome/mulan-live-action">webpage</a>, “Mulan” will be available from Sept. 4 as an in-app purchase on Apple, Roku and Google platforms. The film is also set to go up for purchase through Disney’s website.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>Disney+ subscribers are slated to get access to the film following its September premiere, though a streaming date has not been announced. </p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>The move comes amid controversy surrounding app store fees implemented by Apple and Google, each of which faces lawsuits from developers for taking a slice of in-app transactions. By making “Mulan” available as an in-app Disney+ “premium” purchase, Disney subjects its film to app store fees, which in Apple’s case is 30%. </p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>“We thought we would give it a try, to try to recapture some of that investment that we’ve got,” said Bob Chapek, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Chapek characterized the “one-off” strategy as a “a chance to learn,” <em>Deadline</em> reports. </p>
