Walt Disney Co. shares rose the most in more than in a month, fueled by optimism that the online release of “Mulan” will bolster the company’s position in streaming.

Walt Disney shares gained as much as 3.9% to $137.14, the largest intraday increase since Aug. 4, after preliminary data from researchers suggested that that “Mulan” helped spur downloads of the Disney+ app. Deutsche Bank AG also upgraded Disney to a buy recommendation from a hold, citing its streaming prospects.

“Mulan” was the most-watched movie online over the weekend, according to the streaming platform Reelgood, which has 2 million customers. It accounted for 15% of streams for the top 20 titles on the platform, compared with 9.1% for the No. 2 film, “I’m Thinking of Ending Things.”get new films online — an approach called PVOD, or premium video on demand. The Covid-19 crisis, which shut down theaters around the world, has prompted Hollywood studios to experiment with different PVOD strategies.
