And Marvel/Star Wars movies. Those still pull quite the numbers.

Nah, trust me, in the grand scheme of Disney, even SW and MCU movies mean diddly squat for their profit.

That's true. They need more money than that to accomplish their world domination plans.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

This might sound like an unpopular opinion to some, but Marvel and Star Wars seem to do better with Disney in charge. And I for one welcome our new mouse overlords.

Not unpopular at all!  

The MCU has thrived and gotten much, much better since Disney took over, with enough money to experiment and try new things (superhero heist movie? Come on, who woulda thought about that before?!) 

And Star Wars...well, it's star wars, but GOOD star wars!  Watched it againt his week and it made me smile the whole way through.  Now that I've gotten over my "It's good but not #1 of allt ime good" mental road block, I came to properly enjoy it for what it was.  Add to that the amazing looking Rogue One trailer and the ongoing, continued "Star Wars Extended Cinematic Universe", and...well, damn man.  I am really happy to be a cinephile in the modern world! 

Also, The reviews for Jungle Book have been outstanding. Where have you guys all been?  i've been reading about, watching trailers for, and anticipating this movie since like, last Summer.

It's so rare to see a  company do better (and by extension help other companies better) when they're on a power trip.  With Disney in the state that it's in now it makes me that much more excited for KH3.  I was actually expecting there to be a dip in quality with Captain America CW, but Disney/Marvel may (at least according to the reviews) have just upped the ante past Winter Soldier.

Abomination! I saw the trailer :( This is Jungle book


Not this

Yeah, all these remakes have gotten me to the point of just utter rejection. I don't even have an emotional response anymore. I have the originals, I'm happy.

The first iron man was good and now is shit in Disney s hands. And star wars just needed a sequel, any other studio could have made that movie better.

*spoilers for those who haven't seen the new Star Wars movies*

 

Are you kidding with Star Wars? Disney is wondeful for animation but Star Wars? I don't care how unpopular this opinion is, but they took Star Wars and fucked it sideways. You don't take a franchise like that and "PC it up" for the sake of expanding demographics which is what they did. I don't want to hear it was an "artistic design". Let's be honest, the two demograpics that never cared for Star Wars on the whole were women and african americans. And wouldn't you know? As soon as Disney's suits gets the franchise, they're like "now how can we sell even MORE plastic light sabers... hmm... well, what if we put a female and black lead in the movie? DEMOGRAPICS!!!!"

And lets not EVEN get into the whole untrained, 20 year old female taking down a fucking SITH... without any training... at all. That right there was worse than ANYTHING Lucas did in the prequels... anything. My fiance and I watched it and at the end of the movie, she was like... "I don't get it. It took Luke three movies to take down Vader, getting his assed handed to him and yet this girl almost masters the force without trying". And she's not even into Star Wars that much lol.

The whole thing was a mess.

This made me laugh. Once they remake the lion King and the rescuers down under into a real life like movie the merging of universes begins!

They did a Jungle Book remake? :o

Is it animated still? Or did they do live action? Oh, and when are they going to do a Lion King remake?

It's live action. As for The Lion King.... hopefully never. Yuck.

 

Disney makes peanuts at the box office. Like literally, they hardly even care, the real money is from merch, amusement parks and ESPN et al.

Disney does make billions off the movies so it does care. Also a lot of the attractions at the parks are based on the movies and much of the merchandise is from once again the movies.

Plus for not caring they sure made purchases to make a broader range of movies (pixar, marvel, Lucas, and are putting out a lot of big budget movies.
