Well, on the one hand, yes.    
 

But on the other hand, just think of how scene-stealing it was

Well, he is the only one that can have his own stories without jeopardizing the actual future Aladdin sequels.

Disney wants to keep the other main characters for the theater sequels.

He is appropriate for the Disney plus level.

That said, his agent must  be really good....

I thought he got eaten by the tiger.

Billy Magnussen has the best agents in the world.

Does he? He really should be getting better offers than a lame Aladdin spin-off lmao

Announcing this after Massaoud's comments is.. lmaoo

As much as I love this film, there is something that I have been wondering for a while.

 

After Aladdin wished for Genie’s freedom, why didn’t Will Smith’s Genie get to keep his power like the Robin Williams’s Genie did in the end of 1992 animated film?

 

In that film, even after when Genie was free...he was still blue and still could fly and use magic. Hence why in the end of that film..we see Genie fly away (while saying goodbye to his friends) to discover the rest of the world. Which led to two sequels and an animated tv series after the first movie.

 

Sadly, Will Smith’s Genie doesn’t get that luxury of still keeping his Genie-like powers here in this film. How come? 🙍🏻‍♀️
 

Wouldn’t it kinda suck for him to not have his powers as he had while was still...well, a genie?

From what I recall, Williams genie retained his powers, but at a lesser level. I don't think the 2019 version really addresses that at all, and when the do a sequel, it'll probably be whatever they writers want in this regard. 

 

As for the genie, I think in both movies, the character provides enough rationale for why having power is not all that important in the end. It's the main theme of both movies.

Watched it on Disney+.

 

Started off terrible but ended up decent by the end. Will Smith was great, Jafar was awful and everything else was ok. Something off with the set design too. Too clean looking.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Aladdin cost more than Disney’s 2017 feature live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, $185M to $160M before P&A, even though the genie’s overall global costs were slightly lower at $455M to Beauty‘s near half billion. Overall difference? Beast made more with $912.5M in all global theatrical, TV and home entertainment revenues to Aladdin‘s $811M.  Participations of $25M were mostly collected by Ritchie and Smith. Interest here at $30M is the amount figured on production costs; essentially when a studio looks at their own profitability, they include an allocation for their borrowing costs. Net profit for Aladdin was $356M to Beauty and the Beast‘s $414.7M. Disney has a sequel in the works with John Gatins (Flight, Real Steel) and Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton, The Kitchen) writing. No word if Smith and Ritchie will return yet.

Would have been more profitable if the first trailer was most of the Arabian Nights sequence. But I think Disney is aware that initial marketing shat the bed and the later push and WOM really made the film's run, which is why the sequel and the Anders series were announced before Gaston/LeFou.
