«Mulan» arrives on Disney+ on Sept. 4 on premier access — here’s what that means.
Streaming No, it won’t be a one-time rental. Calling all fearless women adamant on enlisting in the army in place of an ailing patriarch: Disney just released a new trailer for the live-action Mulan to promote the new Disney+ Premier Access feature. Given the incessant chatter about this new feature, we’re here to provide a primer on what “premier access” actually entails prior to the movie’s debut. And what it means for Disney+ subscribers. After months of delays and uncertainties due to the coronavirus pandemic, Mulan will premiere on Disney+ on Sept.4 — and, according to this new teaser, subscribers will need to pay a premier access fee of $29.99 to access the Niki Caro-directed adaptation. Premier access allows subscribers to watch the film before it’s available to all Disney+ subscribers, for the one-time price of $29.99. Once subscribers pay for the premier access, Mulan will remain in their Disney+ libraries for the entire duration of their subscription — and it can be re-watched as many times as they want on any platform that Disney+ is available on without additional fees.
