AJG Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 With DOJ approval coming in 2 weeks this deal might be coming and closing sooner than we expected. I kinda think it's time to really consider that the 2 x-men films coming next year might not make it to the big screen. It sounds weird but I think it might be a possibility.

A new streamer being launched with a big budget Marvel comics movie would be a huge move. It’d be shocking, but it’ll get a ton of attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Mutants is a done deal for a while now. It is absolutely locked to be a Disney streaming exclusive. I have my doubts about Dark Phoenix but it wouldn't shock me if it ended up being direct to streaming as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnack Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) 34 minutes ago, TalismanRing said: Nah. There were several movies (SM, HP, other Pirates in the high $800s and $900s millions before and after ROTK and movies that had already made $1b and $1.8+b Between TFA and AIW the highest grossing movies WW didn't hit $1.4b. Even after Avatar smashed past the $2b barrior (like Titanic before it and $1b) the highest grossing film (JW:FK) over the next decade other than TFA and AIW was $329m off the mark and the couple below it were almost $500m off the mark (Avengers & FF7). No movies except Titanic ever reached 1B before Return of the Kings. Potter got close but that was at the same time the biggest book past WW2 getting on screen. It also took 3 year's to get a third movie to do it, 2006 with Pirates. I also have the feeling 800m was more common than 1.6b now around that time. Meaning that 2B is probably bigger than 1B. 2003 world box office was 20.3b, 2004 world box office was 25.8b we are now around 40b, not quite doubled ROTK market size (ROTK being release almost in 2004). 1B until around 2002 early 2003 is the 2B of now, not the mid 2000s imo.

Nah in the early 00' to many movies made 800m - 950m, if that was correct we should have a lot more movies with 1.6B - 1.9B we need a few more years for that to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekanos Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Yeah, if 2B is the new 1B where are all of these movies making 1.7-1.9B? There isn't going to be a 2 billion movie in the next 5-7 years that doesn't start with the letters "Av" in their title.

Cap Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) If the deal goes through in the next two weeks, I’d say the over/under is probably 60% for Kevin Feige stealing every other studio’s thunder at SDCC by hosting a “surprise” Hall H panel that reveals F4 and X-Men title cards and release dates. (Only reason it wouldn’t happen is if Disney wanted to do its own formal presentation at El Cap like when they announced Civil War.)

I think it would, they would have to deal with all the participation bonus deal post contract like that, would Brian Singer production company have to agree, everyone with theatrical bonus bought out ? Do you want to start your collaboration with that new entity by destroying what they did like that ? And send that message to the industry that now that you have so much power you are ready to do something like this to someone has powerful has Kinberg (the guy working on their Boba Fett movie...) It would be shocking. Not sure how viable low cost streaming content that cost 2 million the minutes to make can be..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the growth in India and China doesn't go to Hollywood, European countries don't have that much local movies. China local movies account for more than 61.6%, 58.3%, 53.4% and this year we are looking at 55% or more. That means Hollywood movies only get an extra 4.3B instead of 8.6B. So I agree with you analysis but thing hollywood didn't quite expand as much as the global overall BO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney, fox, comcast, whoever, why would they want to put it on VOD in the first place? it's the new X-Men movie... yes the last one dropped a lot but it still made 500M worldwide why on earth would they pull it from cinemas?
