Disney didn't want to spread them out and have more consistent fiscal quarters across the board. Instead, I think they're going to end up with some sudden dry wells. I wonder if the heavier push on the proven franchises here in Aladdin and Lion King so close together was at all influenced by the incoming FOX purchase at the time they were being scheduled. I saw both Aladdin and Lion King, and was enamored with neither particularly. The machine at Disney is very strong in terms of marketing and in polishing these films though. The basic components of filming and editing and providing effects is just so ridiculously good over there. I think the real question becomes, "What is Disney planning to do to sate their investors?" With this Star Wars trilogy reaching an end this year, a potentially down season for Marvel given the Disney+ push, and the biggest marquee Renaissance films off the table aside from TLM, there's got to be some real questioning in regards to solid tentpoles. Avatar isn't necessarily the savior they need. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful ... Copied to Clipboard! |
