    "Mulan" is no longer headed for a major theatrical release. The Walt Disney Co. said Tuesday that it will debut its live-action blockbuster on its subscription streaming service, Disney+, on Sept. 4. 

    But this is no "Hamilton": Customers will have to pay an additional $29.99 on top of the cost of the monthly subscription to rent "Mulan."

    The company plans to release it in theaters in areas where Disney+ is not available. 

    "Mulan," a live-action remake of the animated film, was one of the first films affected by the coronavirus pandemic and the closure of theaters. Originally set for a late March release, the blockbuster has been delayed four times since. 

    "In order to meet the needs of consumers during this unpredictable period, we thought it was important to find alternative ways to bring this exceptional family-friendly film to them in a timely manner," Disney CEO Bob Chapek said on the company's earnings call. "We see this as an opportunity to bring this incredible film to a broad audience currently unable to go to movie theaters."

    Google has offered to make major changes to its business practices to resolve a European Union antitrust case targeting its ad-tech business, but they don't include breaking up the company.

    The compliance plan Google submitted to the European Commission — the 27-nation bloc's top antitrust enforcer — includes "immediate product changes" to end specific practices, the company said in a blog post.

    "Our proposal fully addresses the EC's decision without a disruptive break-up that would harm the thousands of European publishers and advertisers who use Google tools to grow their business," the company said Friday.

    Google also said it's appealing the commission's decision to slap the company with a 2.95 billion euro ($3.4 billion) fine in September for breaching the bloc's competition rules by favoring its own digital advertising services. It accused Google of abusing its dominance by favoring its own online display advertising technology services to the detriment of competitors, online advertisers and publishers.

    As part of the punishment, Google was also required to come up with proposals to end what the Commission called "self-preferencing practices" and stop "conflicts of interest."

    The Commission said it would force Google to sell off parts of its business if it wasn't satisfied with the company's proposed remedies.

    Google's changes include giving publishers more pricing options on its ad management platform. To address conflicts of interest, the company is modifying its ad tools to give publishers and advertisers more choice and flexibility.

    "We will now analyse Google's proposed measures to assess whether they effectively bring the self-preferencing practices to an end and address the situation of inherent... Read More
