AniNate Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If studios don't see Pixar and Disney as big deals anymore then it's up to Pixar and Disney to show that they're wrong A really good Pixar film wouldn't have to worry much about competition, let alone (what I expect to be) a middling superhero entry with a very public headcase of a lead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWR Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Good. They're already as close as one can get to being a monopoly without actually being a monopoly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Crazy go think that Quantumania is 2 months away from now. Maybe Disney ramps up the marketing campaign once Avatar 2 is in the rear view mirror. Edited December 11, 2022 by JWR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWR Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 If I had to guess what their marketing schedule is going to look like: December to January: Second trailer for Ant-Man 3 February to March: Trailers for Guardians 3, Little Mermaid, and Elemental; Possible first look at The Marvels at Super Bowl April: All focus on Guardians and The Little Mermaid; Trailer for Indy 5 and The Marvels May: Shifting the focus on Elemental once The Little Mermaid is in the rearview mirror; Trailer for The Haunted Mansion June: Focus on Elemental and Indy 5; first trailer for Wish July: All hands on deck for The Marvels; trailer for Haunting in Venice August: TBD September to October: Ramping up the marketing for Wish; first trailer for Elio November: First trailer for Inside Out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belloni is an actual respectable Hollywood insider with decades of experience covering the business, but one thing isn’t like the other here. A Disney and Apple merger is actually feasible if what I’ve learned studying the subject way back then with the Fox acquisition is correct, because unlike the Microsoft’s attempt of acquiring Activision, one of those would be a vertical purchase, and the other is horizontal. Also I think that merges will end up happening in the upcoming years and decades. Apple and Disney do make sense, but I also don’t buy that that’s Papa Iger endgame right now.

It could happen but one thing to clarify is it wouldn't be a merger it would be a takeover. Apple is 13x more valuable than Disney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Microsoft acquiring Disney would be a very different situation thar Microsoft acquiring Activision, for example. What Microsoft is attempting is to dominate the gaming market by throwing money at the biggest gaming developers. It’s not the same thing as Apple and Disney, that was the gist of what I was trying to convey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
