The Disney Thread | Happy 90th to Donald Duck!

Lone Ranger shouldn't have been greenlit with a $200m+ budget, even Disney trying to reduce it and it still went overbudget. I think it should have been $150m maximum. Given the success of comedies, horror and animated films that cost less than $100m, I do think overspending in Hollywood needs to be curbed.

 

It's a Western. Look at Fox. They know they want to do another DIE HARD sequel but they know audience is moving on. So they green light it for less than $100M. The movie is still profitable if it made less than $300M WW. Unlike Disney who went over their heads greenlighting a $200M Western who didn't even appeal to American audience.

But hasn't Iger or Disney said they are doing most of their movies as tentpoles? So it would no surprise that not every 200M is a home run.

Get ready for Indy 5, coming before end of decade.

Future of 'Indiana Jones' franchise now moves to Disney from Paramount (which retains small %$). Disney's 2012 LucasFilm purchase = control.

Great year. Frozen could add another 150+ to the total when its done.

Can't wait for 2015. AoU and SW7 together could be 1B+. Then there's two Pixar movies which could add another 500M. I can see Cinderella doing Oz like numbers. These 5 alone could put it on top of 2013. But they have Tommorowland, Ant Man, and Jungle Book!

Walt Disney Studios said today that 2013 marks the first time it has topped the $3 billion mark at the international box office. Final year-end numbers will be released Thursday.

Disney deserves it.

3 billion dollars in overseas money is ridiculous.

More than half of that is from just 3 movies.

Yea, but Indiana Jones franchise is practically grinding to a halt. Ford is pushing 70. How long before he says enough. 

I see Ford having a grand time playing villainous character in movies like PARANOIA. He should try these more dramatically

challenging roles instead of doing something that should have been passed to a younger guy 10 years ago.

Again, it is also  impossible: Ford is Indiana Jones. No substitute.

Worried for The Muppets Most Wanted, I hope it will still do well

For Disney, 200m is practically low budget.Too bad this movie didn't cost 200m.

Eh, I don't really care that much on that franchise so that's straight to Blu-ray for me. I think it'll do around 70m dom.

[Jonwo]

Muppets Most Wanted is likely going to have the same maybe a tad higher budget than the first film, it doesn't need to do gangbuster numbers to do well.
