As a result, their films through Premier Access cost $30 (or $35 in Canada/Australia) to rent on top of the monthly subscription fee, which, for one film, is quite expensive, even with good results, such as Raya and the Last Dragon.
Explanation
The statement correctly outlines the pricing model for Disney's Premier Access, where certain films, including "Raya and the Last Dragon," are available for a rental fee of $30 in the U.S. and $35 in Canada and Australia. This fee is indeed separate from the monthly subscription cost of Disney+. The mention of the film's success in terms of box office income aligns with reports indicating that it opened to around $8 million, which suggests it performed decently under the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the assertion that $30 is 'quite expensive' is subjective. It is important to note that while the cost might seem high for a single film purchase, it is presented as a family-friendly option allowing multiple viewers at home, which can offset the perceived expense compared to family cinema tickets. Thus, the statement is fundamentally accurate regarding costs and the pricing strategy employed by Disney.
Key Points
- The claim correctly states the $30 rental fee for Premier Access films on Disney+.
- Raya and the Last Dragon was released with a significant box office performance amidst industry challenges.
- Whether $30 is deemed expensive varies based on perspective and viewing context.
