While Universal's Monster Universe isn't a bad idea in itself, I do think The Mummy doesn't look appealing enough and doing action horror is risky. 2 minutes ago, Yandereprime101189 said: Well, if Pirates fails, it's not like Disney will hurt this year - What with Beauty and the Beast, Guardians, Star Wars, and Thor. The profits from Star Wars alone will cover any losses by Pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just did one-pop movies instead of dragging them out sequel after sequel (for the animated films, I mean), each movie would have good audience retention, instead of having those big drops in regular MCU Plus, I don't think they'd cost that much. Gotta raise those profit margins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franfar Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 1 minute ago, Goffe said: Quote Pirates 5, returning Johnny Depp in the title role as the zany Captain Jack Sparrow, should easily win the holiday with $80 million or more for the four days. Still, that would mark the lowest start for the series behind the first film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Franchise fatigue among U.S. consumers is a huge concern for Hollywood. Pirates 5 cost Disney more than $200 million to make before a major marketing spend, and is counting on a huge showing overseas, where it opens in every corner of the globe this weekend, save for Japan. The movie has already earned an impressive $34.5 million in its first two days and looks to score an opening day of $20 million in China, where it hit theaters Friday.

(IF not you want to control that story) 2) Why does it matter (except for them loosing face), but I mean for us the audience ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Barnack said: I think that is less true than ever, the you cannot buy a first weekend is the current consensus (and for a long time) that why they are stressed so much and give people sequel/stuff proved to work with them so much. I was being facetious, but this increasingly common strategy of planning 3+ movies before the first has even come out — and openly publicizing it! — demonstrates massive hubris on the part of studios. To the point where I'm glad it often bites them in the ass. Edited May 26, 2017 by Hatebox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
