Second, I doubt regardless of rumors and small rumblings Chapek would be gone this year or next year. Dude is a horrible creative as well as being too shortsighted to run a multimedia company and overall a bad CEO who will likely plunge the company into the dark ages of the 2000s eventually. However, his first two years were in the pandemic so he had a shield to guard his ass, the 100th anniversary and no successor and the fact he’s still making Disney like a lot of money and that’s all that matters for the shareholders. He’ll leave eventually probably within like 5-10 years or so but the only way I could see him gone in general is like if he fucked with Marvel and Feige (who’s probably the equivalent to Eisner and Pixar being the face back then). Like if No Way Home and MoM were massive underperformers, financially and critically, he’d be done. Edited June 28, 2022 by YourMother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all time best 5th Tuesday ever. Outright, better than American Sniper as well. Healthy 2.5m gain on Black Panther. The flight to 700m is ready to depart, fasten your seatbells. It's gonna be a helluva ride. Edited June 28, 2022 by The Dark Alfred 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the guy is going to be pushing Disney+ HARD the next 5 years. Pixar's next movies debuting on Disney+ for sure. Only good thing is we might be getting Frozen 3 sooner than later with this guy in charge. Edited June 28, 2022 by Mojoguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just promoting last week at CineEurope and showed a clip to the theater owners. CineEurope is like the CinemaCon of Europe Like Chapek or not, I think Chapek realizes and he has someone telling him the Pixar brand has been tarnished. And like Chapek or not, I think he will try to rebuild it. He will likely give Pixar a couple more chances. We know how Chapek responds to internal backslash. Actually, honest or not, I think it's likely that he won't see more Pixar movies direct to streaming because of internal backlash, which is something Chapek is reactive. I think he will have Pixar make more series spinning out of their franchises. Kinda crazy they haven't made a Brave series, come to think of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be theaterical exclusive for at least 45 days so it can rake in that Christmas money. Encanto boxoffice legs were brutally cut short.

The next Pixar movie releasing in June 2023. Regarding Strange World... I think Chapek could give it a full 45 days theatrical release. Unlike last year, Disney is much more armed in terms of movies direct to streaming and series already deep in post, that I don't think there would even be a need to cut to 30 days when they can have a movie release in the supposed 30 day Strange World would theoretically drop on D+. But that's my guess. The reality is... there's the Encanto factor. Mediocre performance at the box office that just... monstrously exploded on Disney Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Strange World, Elemental and the other 2023-24 films will still likely be theatrical maybe the same 30-45 day windows though. Mainly because a combination of Plus having more content now, and budget cuts would be more likely first as it’s foolish to invest in 150-200m movies onto streaming and I think that Chapek and the other dude are realizing it. That said if like those films don’t do well, then budget cuts would be first step and then streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully TGM has shown studios how important theaters and theatrical windows still are. That or studios learn the wrong lesson and we just get more legacy sequels.
