So my guess is that either A.) Disney folds Blue Sky into DisneyToon and sells and divvy up Fox’s deals with Locksmith and Stoopid Buddy to other studios like Paramount, WB, Sony or even Lionsgate (ie, Paramount gets Locksmith, Lionsgate gets Stoopid Buddy, WB gets Blue Sky). B.) Disney sells Blue Sky, along with the deals of Fox’s other animated movies.
I can see TLK opening higher than IX. It has a great cast including Beyoncé, 90’s nostalgia (The Lion King adjusts to about $800M DOM), and Disney paid critics (just a joke people but this’ll likely get good reviews).
Ooh.
“...and the distribution rights to DreamWorks Animation's 2013–2017 film library, which they could potentially use to trade for Universal Pictures' right of first refusal to distribute any future MCU Hulk films produced by Marvel Studios.”
