While Disney has not shared official figures on how much revenue Mulan<\/em> has earned since debuting on the company’s own streaming service, a Yahoo report estimated the film earned\u00a0$261 million over 12 days on Disney+<\/a> based on\u00a0information\u00a0provided by the analytics research firm 7Park Data. However, the co-founder of the research firm has now stated that the data was misinterpreted and estimated Mulan<\/em>\u00a0only earned $62-$93 million over twelve days.<\/p>\n

7Park’s data indicated nearly 29% of U.S. Disney+ users who accessed the app from September 1 to September 12 had purchased Mulan<\/em> for the $30 premium fee. Based on the assumption that U.S. households account for 50% of Disney+’s 60 million-plus subscribers<\/a>, that would mean roughly 9 million users purchased Mulan<\/em>\u00a0for the additional $30, which would amount to net profits of approximately $261 million in U.S. markets alone. However, those calculations appear to have been\u00a0starting from a faulty assumption according to comments made by 7Park’s\u00a0Brian Lichtenberger.<\/p>\n

“The data we shared with Yahoo represents the share of the Disney+ audience that streamed Mulan<\/em> during the first 12 days of September 2. The size of the audience during the first 12 days of September does not equate to the entire size of the Disney+ US subscriber base,”\u00a0Lichtenberger explained in a series of tweets. According to\u00a0Lichtenberger, a more accurate way to estimate Mulan<\/em>‘s revenue\u00a0would be to look\u00a0to the data he compiled on the film’s audience share on Disney<\/a>+ during the third quarter. “The data shows Mulan<\/em> share during Q3 to date is just north of 10%,” he explained before calculating that if 10.32% of the assumed 30 million U.S. subscribers (50% of the 60 million worldwide) paid an additional $30 for Mulan<\/em>, that would amount to only $93 million in Disney+ revenue.<\/p>\n
