It is common to share streaming service passwords to reduce subscription costs with family members or work colleagues. Netflix has opposed this partnership since last year and it will now be done by Disney+ starting this June.

A few months ago, Netflix successfully implemented its password-sharing crackdown and introduced the Extra Members feature. We thought for sure more people would unsubscribe but contrary to that, Netflix actually gained more subscribers than ever. But can Disney repeat the success in its footsteps?

After a long wait, it seems that Disney is finally making a move into the Malaysian market with Disney. It appears that several hours ago, the company set up a Facebook and Instagram page named Disneyplushotstarmy. For some reason, the Facebook page has been taken down except for the latter.

Since Disney Plus has yet to come to Malaysia, the company may end up launching a separate streaming service first. Disney has announced that it will be launching a new video streaming platform in 2021 and that it will be under the Star brand name. This platform is expected to feature general entertainment and will not have any licensed content.

Mulan has been in our to watch list since the premiere of the trailer and due to Covid-19, it has been going through few delays.

As previously reported, blockbuster movies are being delayed to a later date and our local cinema theatres are closed temporarily until further notice. If you have a gut feeling that other movies will be affected, you're right! In this latest news, Marvel's Black Widow, Spiral: From The Book of Saw, and many other movies have been pushed back.
