Cant say im surprised.



Around the Network

Damn $270 mil budget and only $148 mil returned. Yikes...



Expected by almost everyone
-A high budget
-People complaining about Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler
-Confusion over the dwarves for so long.
-Disney remake fatigue



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 40 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Woke is dead. Common sense has returned. I suspect now that Disney has canned their DEI nonsense, we'll get to see some good movies again. At least that's my hope. I miss the Lion King Disney. Bad.



I find the grown adults obsessed with this kind of thing actually the most lame thing of all. This is a movie for little girls, seeing like 30+ year old men crying about it is laughable. Even when I was a kid, Snow White was freaking dated and boring as fuck.

Do people that get all worked up over this big mean boogeyman woke and dei stuff enjoy life? It's a movie, if it's not for you don't watch it and watch something else. Not every art form is for everyone.



Good. The only good thing about Rachel Zegler is that she hates Trump.

Probably the single most predictable event in the entertainment industry so far this year. It's been one disaster after another, on top of no one asking for this to be made. The focus on live-action remakes in and on itself just shows that Disney have failed to understand the draw and charm of their own animated features to begin with. It's becoming clear that Disney needs new leadership across the board (pun intended), too many mistakes are being made way too often.

Really, the entire concept of Disney live-action remakes has an uphill battle from the start. Too similar to the old one, and people will complain that it's a pointless cash-grab. Change it to any significant degree, and you'll have people complaining that you're screwing around with a sacred classic.

Ironically, the Disney movies that would benefit most from a live-action remake are the mid-tier ones that had obvious flaws in their original release, such as The Aristocats, The Black Cauldron, or Oliver and Company. But then, Disney probably thought there wouldn't be enough audience interest in seeing those remade seeing how the originals were so... well, mid-tier.

The Lion King 2019 is too similar in dialogue, the plot, and songs than the 1994 original. And it does nothing as well or better than the 1994 original either. The Lion King 2019 is the textbook example of a pointless cash grab. There are no humans in The Lion King, and they didn't even use any live-action nature shots except at the very beginning.

I haven't seen Snow White, but compared to the animated classic it seems to fit into the changing too much and screwing around with a sacred classic. But it's funny because Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs seems to have lost a lot of popularity in the last 15 or so years due to the technical aspects of the film aging more and more as well as the plot and characters feeling very dated. 

I have a feeling the same whiners who probably never cared for the classic to begin with are some of the loudest people complaining about how woke and bad the remake is.

Really the better option would be to not do live-action remakes of animated movies to begin with.

If Disney wants strong female leads then they should do that in brand new movies, instead of just forcing them into older movies.



We already have a Snow White remake
