I don't know about "easily profitable" as much as "barely profitable."
If she's staying on at all, she's getting a co-writer.

I have come to the realization that Disney live action is the red headed step of the studio. They will soon be joined by other sucky ones from Fox, but for now they stand alone. They would be straight up just releasing non stop bombas if it wasn't for Pirates or remakes of old animated movies.
Awww it's cute.Robert Downey Jr knows what's up (he just posted this pic on his FB page). Venom getting that deserved respect lol.
The live-action movies are still making money. Most are critic proof.

He is just talking about Disney live action. No Star Wars. No Marvel.
Even then you have stuff like the BatB and the Jungle Book which make a metric fuckton of money.
RDJ probably knows something. Feige can't deny the Venom phenomenon. The Chinese market is real. I remember RDJ posting a pic of Spider-Man way before the Sony/Marvel deal was announced.Robert Downey Jr knows what's up (he just posted this pic on his FB page). Venom getting that deserved respect lol.

That's what he said though:
Three big films against The Finest Hours, The BFG, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Pete's Dragon, A Wrinkle in Time, Christopher Robin, and Nutcracker since the start of 2016.
So batting 3 out of 10 in recent years, and even Pirates was down close to $250M from the fourth one.
It's looking like Mary Poppins might make it 4 out of 11 though.
Is this all under one division of Disney? There isn't a separate studio that does the lesser known stuff like Nutcracker and the main one that does well known stuff like Aladdin?
Records are gonna get obliterated. I'm thinking $260M+ OW, $40M+ on Monday and Tuesday, on its way to at least $800M domestic and over $2 billion worldwide.
Pretty sure they are gonna just take the cost of a ticket out of everyone's pay checks.
Guy Ritchie means it'll either be one of the best Disney remakes or one of the worst.
No inbetween with that guy.
There's a reason why most of my posts happen in this thread. Thanks kswiston for maintaining the weekly box office threads and for consistently leading with good decorum that helps set the tone.
He is Canadian, he was born to be nice and lie about what classifies as "bacon"
The one thing that may stop The Lion King being the king of the worldwide box office is China being China, but I am uninformed of what China currently thinks of Lion King, what do they think?
They can win China if they attach an Exclusive Mulan teaser to the film.
Lion King looks good but I'm not really seeing anything in it that says it's gonna break records. But nostalgia is a hell of a drug so who knows.
But it's STERILE, unlike my SOULY original! Which has PIZAZZ and SPARK unlike this BARREN and KARST LANDSCAPE remake!
Venom keeps trucking with a 100 mill budget. Way lower than marvels normal 170, what the hell. Not even bad reviews could stop it.
Yep itll have me in the cinema seat for sure... Nostalgia is tough to beat... that teaser convinced me enough.
Disney's gonna fucking feast next year

If any of those are bombing, it's Dumbo (maybe Aladdin?)
The rest are pretty much guaranteed hits.
Lion King is as big as it gets for older animated films, lesser films than it have done gangbusters in this Disney live action remake series. It's gonna smash the BO.
I edited it in but shit the list could have just been that and Avengers, everything else is just racking up the score
Disney: I know we were discussing about buying a country last year... but I'm thinking Europe looks pretty nice right.
In general that question doesn't have much merit. Especially for a Disney, what reason other than money do you think they're making movies for. Lion King is a safe bet to make well over a billion dollars, with the chance to hit two bil.
I didn't ask for a Pet Sematary remake either but god fucking damn am I gonna be in theaters day one for it
If something unnecessary looks good I'm fine with it
