Mulan, the live-action remake of the 1998 animated Disney classic, arrives on Disney+ today, marking the beginning of an experiment from the company to see how much revenue a major motion picture can rake in through premium video rentals instead of a traditional theatrical release.

The film, whose planned March theatrical release was pushed back three times amid widespread theater closures due to Covid-19, will be available for active Disney+ subscribers to watch beginning today on the service for a one-time “Premier Access” price of $29.99
