The Nolan shade.

Enjoy what money? I don't think it's even going to pull enough WW to be profitable. It will probably eventually make money for them on home video release, but it's a box office bomb.

DM3 looks like it could have a close race with DM1 for dom total.

And once again, WW continues to save the box office this summer and give us something good to talk about. Don't even want to discuss that Apes number , too damn depressing and I've already made it clear how badly I think Fox dropped the ball.

Tokyo DisneySea is the best theme park I've ever been to - and I've been to quite a few - and it's not even close. The American Disney parks got nothing on it.

Yep, I'd say there's only like a 10% chance of IX not moving to December, just like VIII did.

I really wish they were just going with the classic look for Mickey and friends, but otherwise it seems very promising.

Damn, that's extremely soon.

"So when are you imagineers going to creat the next new original ride like Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean? We're doing it right now!! *with our oldest existing IP *

Yeah, I think Star Wars Land would have been better to just stick with offically. If so many people still refuse to call it the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in favor of "Harry Potter Land", then Galaxy's Edge sure as hell isn't going to catch on.

Yes, this would be the ideal route all things considered and hopefully what they are going for.

I LOVE YOU, MARRY ME.

You know, I was pretty salty about it too for a long time, but to be honest at this point I'm just happy they will finally start showing some attention to the park again. Sure it's going to become littered with Disney IPs that essentially leave behind the purpose it was built for, but at least the park will finally be getting some great new E-ticket attractions nonetheless. Besides, is a Ratatouille attraction that out of place in the France pavilion? Is a Brave one that out of place in England pavillion? Is an awesome Inside Out attraction replacing the awful current (and previous) versions of Journey Into Imagination that horrible of an idea when you think about it? Epcot as it was intended is dead, but I'd at least take it being just another really good Disney theme park again rather than leave it like it has been for so long.

Lmao, another 5 years sounds about right.

Same, so stoked. Epcot, Magic, and Hollywood Studios will all be getting a shit-ton of huge new things in time for the 50th in 2021. Starting with Pandora this year continuing through the 50th will easily be the most exciting stretch of additions in Disney park history.

I can't think of a worse idea than a Disney helmed live action Hunchback. It was excusable and even understandable to an extent why the story had to be so neutered for the animated version, but no way do I want to see that happen in live action when we should be getting a true adaptation of the story in that format.

It's actually a very different film from Dawn though. But yes, tonally the whole trilogy is a serious one without much of any lightheartedness. Not sure why that would suddenly turn people away if it didn't the first two times.

It's really unprecedented from what I can tell. If you look at other blockbuster franchises where the first two were well received and successful, I don't think you can find an opening weekend that dropped in admissions that much from its predecessors. Typically the third film has the highest opening weekend attendance in such cases, not the lowest.

Not necessarily. If SMH really does only do around 300, it may not even beat TASM 1 in admissions. That would be troubling to say the least considering how much more it has going for it, and would certainly indicate that the TASM movies must have had a lingering effect ala what happened with Batman Begins. This is all assumptions right now though, since second weekend drops for CBMs can be all over the place and still end up with good legs after.

The original adjusts to a rather mind boggling 700m domestically. And it could be argued that it's second only to The Wizard of Oz in terms of films that have been so passed on to kids each generation. Makes this a real wild card at the box office. Maybe it only does something like 150-200m, but it could also go way way higher. The level of family competition next holiday season is the biggest possible detriment to it.

I wish. More like in 2025.

So in the past does all this footage they show make its way online, or not usually?

Oh god, this again? Toys driving a truck will always be more unbelievable than an Octopus driving one, so please lodge your complaint with the correct Pixar film if that's what you're so hung up over.

Yeah, you'd just think that people would want something new mixed in with their nostalgia too. I mean sure films like Jurassic World and TFA had a ton of nostalgia driving their success, but it's not like they were straight up remakes with nothing new to offer. *braces for the inevitable TFA is a clone of ANH comments*

I just can't understand why people are so enthralled with seeing these animated classics retold with so little changes, except for being in a medium that suits the stories so much more inadequately than animation like they were originally intended for? I mean if they would take some real creative risks with them and adapt them to stories that would suit live action better that would be one thing, but they're just not doing that. Why not just watch the animated classic instead? I just don't get it. Though I will give some props to both Alice and Maleficent since they did do something different than the animated films, though the problem with those two is that they were just mediocre films.
