WWE is a merchandising power house. That Cena sells a lot of t-shirts.

It is safe to say my Summer Game got a bit more screwed yet again.

The Prestige I need to see a second time, I watched it at 3AM or something and I was half asleep.

 

It's one of the Nolan films that gets better with each viewing IMO.

[Jack Nevada]

Okay, it's 3AM. I think I'll watch a Nolan movie.

There are also a lot of toys and the annual game. But you are right, John Cena is the main reason for those numbers.

Memento time.

Disney was already so far ahead before the Lucasfilm purchase. Add in Star Wars afterwards and Disney is on a higher level than other licensing companies.

Memento time. 

I think I'll do Insomnia.

Now you are beginning to smelllllllll what McMan has been coooking!!

Yeah, but you're also right. All of that legends merchandise contributes a lot.

[Dementeleus]

So what's going on, guys?

[CJohn]

Now you are beginning to smelllllllll what McMan has been coooking!!

 

In the beginning we see him saying that to John Cena. Even knowing that is a scripted show and McMahon planned that angle, his heart still probably stopped beating for a moment. Cena is easily the biggest draw of the company. They can never fire him. He can do whatever he wants.

I only have more gripe with them that we need to see more people of different ethnics in their features...Havent seen an arab, black, asian, indian or other ethnic star their tentpole animation films in quite some time.

Apt.

Pink went full troll and changed his avatar to the Dame for a few minutes. He also doesn't give a 10/10 to any Nolan movie. He and Ed got divorced. There is also some WWE talk in there somewhere, and a 1 hour long battle between which franchise makes the more money: Pokemon or Star Wars (luckily was between 2 or 3 members, nothing big enough).

and I actually liked Oz the great and Powerful! well, compared to everything else in that recent "trend" though unlike alice, snow white/huntsman, maleficent it's not rebooting it and making it stupider but rather just a prequel. same spirit I guess. I love the climax a lot.

It has so much style compared to everything else in that trend. Really underrated movie
