  1. Star plushies are going to sell like hot cakes. I remain impress how Disney successfully monetises their IP, I was looking at the most successful media franchises and Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh has made tens of billions from merchandise.
  2. I think you're getting a bit carried away suggesting this will be the next SLOP.
  3. I find the whole 'Marvel is dead' hyperbole so eye rolling. We'll still get Marvel films in the coming years.
  4. This is Hollywood, there are very few people who can afford to be picky. Interesting that the movies that have been shelved were all IP based.
  5. I do think people are being stupid, people aren't going to stop working for Warner Bros ever again in the same way they won't stop working for Disney. WBD and WB are not the same and TBH once the dust has settled, people will be pitching their ideas at WB,
  6. TBH if we're going to use an equivalent, this is Marvel Studio's Strange World/Treasure Planet/The Good Dinosaur. In the long run, Marvel will be fine and Disney will be fine. People seem to forget that this is a company that makes boatloads of money every year from everything other than TV and films.
  7. They've remade all three of their films to mixed results. I do miss the lower budget Disney films like The Parent Trap.
  8. It looks very cheap. Surprised that Sony are releasing it because Paramount now owns Garfield.
  9. Mission Impossible is getting another film so it's not like the franchise is over.
  10. Not everything has been a failure though. Something like The Nun II for example still was profitable. I think exhibitors want a steady flow of product. Something like this summer where you had a new film or two every week is better than 1 film dominating and nothing being released for 2-3 weeks.
  11. Wouldn't be an actor union if there wasn't drama. It's unlikely but I wonder if SAG-AFTRA and Equity will ever merge. Seems silly to have two acting unions and probably make things a lot easier to just have the one union.
  12. I would point out that the strike forever members are the minority of a union. Some will never be happy but most members will accept and go back to work.
  13. All big companies have debt. Amazon and Comcast's debt is double that of WBD and Disney.
  14. The difference between Bob Iger and David Zaslav is that Iger is less of an asshole but also Disney has a lot more money than WBD.
  15. Did chuckle that Fran did a lot of the meetings at home in a bathrob, that makes me think The Nanny wasn't fiction.
  16. I don't think Marvel Studios would mind if Deadpool makes jabs at the MCU, it's not meant to be a serious character and the fourth wall breaking is the character's USP.
  17. TBH I don't see a lot of actors rejecting the deal because you know people need to work.
  18. There's no way Spider-Man 4 will be 2025, it doesn't even film until late 2024.
  19. While $182m WW isn't amazing, on a $30m budget Paw Patrol is very profitable for Paramount and keep the toy sales healthy. No wonder a third movie is coming.
