By Adam Go To PostMonopoly? Srsly?They control 40% of the US box office now. Not exactly monopoly yet but gives them enormous power over distributors and theaters
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostThey control 40% of the US box office now. Not exactly monopoly yet but gives them enormous power over distributors and theatersthat's (effective) monopoly status here. but i'll allow it if they make good xmen films.
By rerixo Go To Postthat's (effective) monopoly status here. but i'll allow it if they make good xmen films.
where is here? i assume you mean "monopoly power" which is a thing that exists in countries. i think the uk considers a firm having monopoly power at 25% market share and above.
Disney creates anodyne sludge slurped up by simple, undiscerning consumers. Now they'll make even more anodyne sludge slurped up by simple, undiscerning consumers. Disney is the company from WALL-E that keeps people fat, lazy, distracted, and demotivated.
But as long as rerixo gets Xmen movies that perfectly emulate all of the other anodyne sludge he regularly consumes, it's cool, innit.

By Flutter Go To Postare you doubting me being serious 100% of the time
By blackace Go To PostWe are going to lose the deep intellectual well that was Fox??? 😱😱Fox Searchlight was good for some excellent films. And the Fox channel burped out some decent shows over the years. That's far more than anyone can claim of Disney, which has to its credit maybe a couple Pixar films and formerly distributing Hayao Miyazaki's work with celebrity-gilded localizations.

This is true, absolutely nobody believes Disney has a repertoire of excellent films. Not a single person.

Jesal, I feel you're beginning to slip away.

Infinity War was this generations Citizen Kane
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostThey control 40% of the US box office now. Not exactly monopoly yet but gives them enormous power over distributors and theatersAnd they already strong-arm theaters into taking worse deals by leveraging their Marvel and Pixar box office clout. Now they'll be forced to give up a bigger cut of Doctor Strange 2 and show more screens of the next lousy Predator movie. Dang.
There won't be a next Predator movie, that shit is dead and Alien will probably be relegated to Hulu.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThere won't be a next Predator movie, that shit is dead and Alien will probably be relegated to Hulu.Disney tried to reboot The Lone Ranger not that long ago and you think Predator is dead? Pixar excluded, all they do anymore is mine their past properties. Within the next five years, they'll have found some way to leverage some of these old Fox franchises like Predator, Alien, Die Hard, etc.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThere won't be a next Predator movie, that shit is dead and Alien will probably be relegated to Hulu.Hopefully.
Everything after the original movie was trash.
By Pennywise Go To PostHopefully.I like 2 and Predators is watchable. Last one was a mess though.

By Smoke Dogg Go To PostPaul Ryan, the former GOP House Majority leader, has been named to the board of commissioners???
DIfferent Fox. Fox Corp still exists separately from the assets sold to Disney, and it owns the Fox TV and Fox News networks. Paul Ryan is on the board of that company.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostI like 2 and Predators is watchable. Last one was a mess though.I only like Danny Glover. He's fitting in perfectly. The initial setting is also among the interesting things, but they played it off pretty shitty.
You can see that it was rushed, actors were forced in and shit like that.
By Fenderputty Go To PostWho plays McClane in the reboot?
I think the Joel Kinnaman guy from the Robo-Cop reboot might do alright.
The only fucking shit I truly care about is that we get more actual boundary pushers like Deadpool and Atlanta. Disney needs to be able to piss off parents. They can't just throw them up in the company promo image for no reason if they're not gonna commit. The closest Disney's come to that shit yet is The Last fucking Jedi. That says something.

By blackace Go To PostDidn't they own Miramax during Pulp Fiction years?They did. They put out Kevin Smith films like Clerks and Chasing Amy, too.
Hopefully they continue to let Fox Searchlight function as it has because I could never see Disney proper distributing a film like The Favorite.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThey did. They put out Kevin Smith films like Clerks and Chasing Amy, too.They seem to allow their studios to continue as they were...

It's crazy how big Disney is right now, there's a chance they could 10B$ worldwide on the box office this year with 6 movies possibly doing over 1B$.
Their previous record was 7.6B$.

"can't miss a film", even if its shit
DCU take notes. But they so happy with just having a few 1billion dollar films that they just wanna stay on this solo flick path

By LFMartins86 Go To PostDisney is only releasing 2 MCU movies this year, not even half of those possible 10B$ will come from Marvel.Three. Captain Marvel, Avengers, and Spider-Man. Captain Marvel is already at $800m, Avengers will easily cross a billion, and Spider-Man will come pretty damn close.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThree. Captain Marvel, Avengers, and Spider-Man. Captain Marvel is already at $800m, Avengers will easily cross a billion, and Spider-Man will come pretty damn close.Spider-Man is Sony. Captain Marvel is locked on a billion, Avengers will do 2B$ easily.
I did not realize that Sony took home all the box office for Spider-Man. That's some deal.
How long until we get shit like Marvel's Moon Knight?
