ZattMurdock Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I don’t give two months before Chapek gets the boot. Iger will be sticking around further. If I was a Disney shareholder I would be pissed right now, and I say this as someone that Premier Access is a good pro consumer move while covid is still a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has made so many enemies in such a short period of time is not good for New CEO. He might be the kind of exec who is good for doing the dirty work that must be done but who you do not want heading the whole company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Eric Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 https://deadline.com/2021/08/walt-disney-animation-studios-vancouver-studio-what-if-1234809175/ Quote Effective next year, Walt Disney Animation Studios (WDAS) is throwing the doors open to a new facility in Vancouver, British Columbia which will focus on long-form series and special projects for Disney+. The first project they’ll work on is the highly-anticipated, feature-quality musical series Moana. Animation vet Amir Nasrabadi will serve as Head of Walt Disney Animation Studios, Vancouver. Nasrabadi most recently served as EVP/General Manager at WildBrain Studios. Previous roles include overseeing Pixar Canada as VP/General Manager as well as senior leadership roles with Illumination and Paramount Animation. Amir’s role with Walt Disney Animation Studios marks a return to the studio, where he served as a Finance lead. The Burbank studio will also expand its over 900 employees as it remains Walt Disney Animation Studios’ exclusive hub for feature film projects as well as shorter form series such as the recently announced Baymax and Zootopia+. Story development, storyboarding and production design for all projects will be based on the Burbank lot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It produced the first big hit Disney Animatation proper had in years with "Lilo and Stitch" and got shut down a year later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Disney crossed $400M at domestic box office yesterday, will be standing at $430M by end of weekend, just behind WB $442M. By THU, Disney will get to #1 with just 5 movies. With Shang Chi, Eternals, Encanto and so on, probably be only $1B movie studio in 2021. The one's released will probably gross $545M. Shang Chi - $150M Eternals - $250-300M Encanto - $150-200M Last Duel, King's Man, WSS, French Dispatch, etc. - $200-300M Total - 1.3-1.5B All things considered, not a terrible year.

BadOlCatSylvester Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 45 days for Eternals, Ron's Gone Wrong, The King's Man, West Side Story and The Last Duel. Encanto gets a shorter 30 day window (still more than enough IMO) in order for Disney to have it on streaming in time for Christmas eve. Makes sense to me. Hopefully this is the standard going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox20 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Encanto makes sense to be the shorter, judging how much of a hit Pixar and Disney animated films are on D+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exomassey Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I like Marvel but FIVE films in 2023?! That is…a lot lol. Along with the Disney plus shows, there is gonna be some major burnout with fans and critics. ‘Too much a good thing’ comes to mind here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpireCity Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The war is over. Chapek lost and likely burned his career to the ground unless he enthusiastically goes along with this. Nolan out shopping his next film as punishment to Warner Bros. What a great day. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamiem Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) 30 day window for Encanto is incredibly smart gives them Thanksgiving theatrical and Xmas for Disney+ also should keep marketing costs very low. Wording makes it sound like that will be free on Disney+ no matter what happens with others as they said "while maintaining the flexibility to give our Disney+ subscribers the gift of Encanto this holiday season." Also should find out in a week or so if Shang-Chi is coming to Disney+ without a cost (which I think is most likely) when they release their October lineup. Free Guy is coming to ANZ without any extra cost at the end of the month (same time as it is getting a digital release on iTunes, Amazon etc. in the US) is why I'm leaning to no extra cost once these come to Disney+ Edited September 10, 2021 by Jamiem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yandereprime101189 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Note the theatrical window press release doesn't mention anything about Antlers. I'm sensing a Hulu release incoming. Rosaline (and very likely Predator 5) are Hulu releases too.
