PITCH PERFECT II also did well. FURIOUS 7 exceeded even the most positive expectations. And now STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is slaying.

 

 

 

I have to wonder if Universal masterfully planned 2015 or if they're just lucky.

Kudos to Universal for that Straight Outta meme maker thing. I've been seeing them everywhere.

Dimension was a division of Miramax, which was a most autonomous operation under Disney ownership. But yes.

Disney was extremely diversified under Eisner - say what you will about him, but under him the movie divisions were run like a "true" movie studio. It was under Iger that they started cutting back their production slate and focusing on fewer movies.

 

Has Iger's strategy been proven to be less effective?

 

If Disney ranks in the top 3 studios every year with fewer movies that probably means they're making more money.

Wow, thats very impressive number for SOC.

Does Disney not own Dimension Studios anymore? They used to release horror films.

 

Edited, just googled and saw TWC ownership. Disney needs a company like this to release varied films.

 

Disney bought Miramax in 1993 I believe, and Dimension was a division under Miramax. When the Weinsteins left Miramax, Disney sold the Dimension brand to them. Eventually, Disney shut down Miramax and sold the Miramax library.

It's not Disney's fault the other studios release too many movies.

 

That is true. Why in the first place will it be a "fault?"

I'm pretty sure they didn't expect these numbers.

Exactly. I feel like a broken record saying this, but Disney is doing great if you look at BO gross earned per movie. Add the total BO gross and divide by the number of movies. Disney is grossing huge numbers at the BO. They are excelling at BO blockbusters.

If you can be a top 3 studio with fewer movies then it's not exactly a bad thing.
