Universal is killing it this year, now I just need for them to buy Marvel after they tell Disney to fuck off.

 

$6B to buy out Marvel form Disney?

I heard that story.

 

Universal has made more money in the traditional genres,

action, horror, thriller, edgy R-rated fantasy stuff. 

 

The wholesome fantasy genre which

Marvel benefits from is synonymous

with Disney

Universal has already had the Hulk so why not? Universal can release the bigger ones as potential tent poles.

So, how much is Universal's theme park tourism going to increase?

They're already exploding from 2009 to 2014  :lol:

 

USH went from 4.3 million to 6.8 million. With Springfield, the nighttime studio tour, F&F and the new Potter area increasing attendance from 2015 to 2017, they could be at 8 million+ by 2017. 

 

USF went from 5.5 million to 8.2 million. With F&F to replace Disaster, Beetlejuice relocated to FFL area, Fallon to replace Twister, and Nintendo to replace/expand KidZone, attendance could get to 9.5-10 million by 2018. 

 

IOA went from 4.5 million to 8.1 million. With Kong, the MSHI revamp, an Avengers E, something JW/JP, and a nighttime show, they could also get to 9.5-10 million by 2018. 

 

USJ is at 11 million+... could get past 12 million with the JP flyer and whatever replaces BTTF/Jaws. 

 

Universal could get $6 billion+ for the year at the BO, and almost reach that amount with their parks/TV divisions  :lol: it's clearly just their year.

Not to mention Universal in Orlando is adding a 5th hotel right now, more convention space, and they are opening a brand new Water Park on site with the center piece being a 200ft tall Volcano.

In 2015 Universal broke the all time February, April and June opening weekend records.

The Visit opens with 30 million opening weekend, Everest opens with 40 million opening weekend, Jem opens with 25 million, Crimson Peak breaks Gravity's October record.(by the way these are guesses and out of the blue projections).

For a minute there I thought you had a time machine and was going to ask you the powerball numbers.
