Oh awesome! I thought that meant a more complete poster. I didn't read it correctly! I read "check out the new teaser poster. See the first look tomorrow". I thought it meant the poster. Surprised that they don't say anything about showing a teaser on GMA. Something tells me it isn't an actual teaser they are showing but maybe a photo or two.

Teaser coming soon? Hopefully? Maybe by early November?

Is there no Mouse King or Mouse army in this film? Isn't that the whole purpose and plot of Nutcracker?

I see that Marshall used some under water scenes. Testing ground for Little Mermaid?

I'd say $200 million-ish domestic. Looks great, fun, colorful, but I'm not sure if it will have the broad appeal for making deep into $200's.

Well, I for one am very glad Disney did not hire any of those people to play Aladdin. I don't think any of them would be a good fit lol.

Teaser for Nutcracker would be nice. Probably not until Poppins though since they have to finish the reshoots and edit the teaser. Full trailer in time for Dumbo. That's two months before release.

Where did you find this? Looks cool. I want to see more. Truthfully, I don't think that Disney is expecting Poppins2 to be a HUGE success. MAYBE $200 million domestic max. Poppins is a VERY old property and appealed to people who are now quite old themselves. There's never been anything to keep it modern, especially for kids. Things like Aladdin stay current because of merchandise (Jasmine is grouped with all other princesses) and Disney meet and greets (my daughter met Jasmine twice at Disney World along with others). Poppins may actually be on the level of Solo. Appeals to the older generation but not as much as the newer. Plus let's not forget the international appeal for Aladdin. As long as Disney can somehow reduce the PC "backlash" about the use of actors, it will be fine.

Disney's streaming service is scheduled to come out in late 2019/early 2020. They want to hit the trail running with as much new stuff as possible. Of course, none of these titles would be available on any streaming service until a few months after disc release since they have to sell physical discs also. In addition, Bob Iger was intending to retire in 2019. I'm sure that had a lot to do with it also since he wanted to go out with a bang. The ONLY movies Disney is confirmed to be working for 2020 are Mulan and Maleficent 2. But remember, Avatar 2 will also be distributed by Buena Vista since by then the Disney/Fox deal will/should be finalized. There is also supposedly a pixar movie about two brother trolls looking to spend one day with their lost father. It is set in suburbs with dumpster diving unicorns or something. That's all I know. Oh, yeah, and the live action Lady & The Tramp will probably come out that fall. And SUPPOSEDLY there is a live-action Pinocchio being made by the makers of Paddington. No word on release or current progress though. Also, the comparison to Solo isn't a fair one. Disney films have a much broader appeal than a SW spin off. Solo appealed to the die-hard SW fan. Rogue One had the privilege of following the biggest film of all time but Solo was definitely niche. Kids and families are almost immune to that effect. What will hurt Aladdin, if it comes down to it, is poor marketing. As I said, they started marketing Cinderella and BatB 9-10 months prior to release. They should have pumped up Will Smith as the Genie during the summer at least and showed some costume designs. I was never expecting a trailer or teaser this early but an announcement teaser might have been a good idea. Maybe not even as much as they showed in June for Dumbo, but something like a lantern or setting. There are STILL a lot of people who don't know this film is coming out. And how would they?

BatB made well over $700 million OS. No reason to think that this one can't make at least $600-$650 million OS. Aladdin is IMMENSELY popular world wide.

Godzilla made $328 million OS. SLOP did better, making $507 million OS. There's room for Aladdin to make more than both of their sequels which will probably fall a bit.

$350-$380 million domestic and $800 million-$1 billion WW Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks for the info about reshoots. I suppose we have to take into consideration that between IW, Incredibles, and JW: FK, all of which made over $400 million and were all released before July, there was room for Deadpool 2, a rated R film, to earn over $300 million.), So between Avengers 4 (probably going to come out in April), Toy Story 4, there will be room for Aladdin to do decent money. By the time July comes around (Aladdin's 7th week), most of those movies will already be on the downward trend anyway.

Dunno-with alleged reshoots taking place with a probable 2 months prior to a teaser, things seem to be pushing a bit. Will they have time to go full-post-production after reshoots or are reshoots part of the post-production process? Didn't they do reshoots for Infinity War within months of release? Not sure how things work. One thing's for sure. The marketing for this movie AND for Lion King haven't been the same as it was for Cinderella or BatB which both had teasers 10 months prior. At least Jungle Book had its teaser 7 months before release. Aladdin will no way be ready for that. Dumbo was the one with a teaser WAY before release (9 months). Re-scheduling may be a good idea if things get rocky. 2020 is so open now and there apparently is no early May release since GOTG3 is on indefinite hold. Maleficent 2 is coming out around Memorial Day 2020 but not so sure how popular that will be. I don't know of ANYTHING else released after March of that year (Mulan). Disney can give Aladdin a wide open release sometime in 2020 and thus take the pressure off of Toy Story 4 and Lion King in 2019. I would not at all be surprised if they move Aladdin at this point. If there's no teaser by December, I think that is what will happen.

Beauty and the Beast had its teaser released 10 months prior to the movie. Everyone knew it was coming. In March we went to Disney World and when my daughter met Jasmine she told her how excited she was for her new movie next year. Jasmine was like "oh, a new movie?". A lot of people don't even know it's coming out where with BatB people knew at least a year prior. They need to market this one starting this fall for sure because once the Lion King marketing campaign starts (probably in January or February) that one is going to get all of the live action attention.

Marvel's only "flops" which weren't really flops were movies headlined by lesser known heroes. Ant Man 2 rose past Ant Man 1. Nobody ever called Captain America and Thor's first movies flops even though they failed to break $200 million domestic. Solo was a "flop" but nobody really felt the need to see it or have it be made. At this point in Disney's live actions, people, especially Disney fans, are very curious to see how their favorite animated films look in live action. Aladdin will only "flop" if the negative press campaign that some are starting on the internet gains momentum and takes over. The curiosity factor alone will help Aladdin to be a big success. If not making $500 million domestic is a flop then so be it. But even BatB made that number with mediocre RT scores.

There doesn't seem to be any behind-the-scenes drama. The "drama" if any seems to be just with getting thing absolutely right. The cast and crew seem to have gotten along great. As far as the "controversy" of the ethnicity/nationality of Naomi Scott or anyone else for that matter, that seems to be the product of the times, unfortunately. Years ago nobody would give a flip.

I think that to a degree, Aladdin will be somewhat critic-proof. With the trend of live action successes, there is almost a demand for the top classics to be remade by Disney fans. I don't think it will do BatB numbers but I can't see any way it will do under $300 million domestic.

Wouldn't it pay for Disney to look into how many re-shoots their hired directors have had in the past?

So....it's spreading like wildfire that this project has to have a LOT of reshoots because Disney was not impressed. Many internet tabloids are even yelling that this project is facing major trouble. So what's the real story? If this is just a rumor started by haters, it's catching on and now being accepted as truth across the net.

People worried about lens flares when JJ was announced for TFA. Lens flare this lens flare that. There was also a lot of shaky cam stuff in the pilot of LOST (which JJ had the most to do with). I'm sure/hoping that Guy has diverted away from his signature shaky stuff for Aladdin. Fine for action, not for a beloved musical. Don't think they would have hired him if he was going to keep to his signature style. There's an aspect to this film which is highly critic-proof too. $300 million domestic should be minimum, but not sure about $400 million.

Unrelated to this topic but had no idea where else to post since this film is not yet even announced officially. In any case, https://www.thedailybeast.com/disneys-rumored-casting-of-zendaya-as-ariel-in-live-action-little-mermaid-sparks-racist-backlash?source=articles&via=rss&yptr=yahoo To me this is a completely unsubstantiated rumor but one that has been perpetuated in order to force Disney to change the image of Ariel. I'd be fine if this happens, but it puts Disney in a bad position IF they actually want to cast someone who fits the classic familiar image of Ariel. And it also puts them in an awkward position for the whole Ariel marketing (Disney meet and greets, the ride, all of the merchandise that has already become interwoven in the culture surrounding Little Mermaid.) If there is a better place to post this, please put it there and let me know where that is.

Is this whole "footage and set of Aladdin looks horrible" just an opinion of a few from a very rough cut display? Not sure I can trust that opinion quite yet, especially considering it was a whole year before the film's release. Jumping the gun a bit. Aladdin should easily pass $300 million domestic because it will already have a backing and fan base. $400 million maybe not but $350 million domestic shouldn't be so hard. As far as Brave, a live action version would be not such a great idea. However, Merida is a great character and it would be interesting if they created stories/movies based on her character that are more in lines of a Mulan/LOTR kind of thing.

I expect Aladdin to make around $350-$380 million domestic and just around $1 billion WW. TS4 should be around $430-$450 million domestic and MAYBE around $1 billion WW. Without the other so close, either one would easily make over $500 million domestic and over $1.2 billion WW. Pets 2 will fall and be completely overshadowed. I expect LOW $200 millions domestic.

Never heard of this until I saw it here. Looked it up. Even dared to read some excepts. Completely appalled and disgusted. A teen version of 50 Shades of Gray which isn't even written by a professional writer? And a movie studio has the gumption to actually take this project up! Wow! Good luck to them!!!
