    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Wait. Avatar 2 did better? I did not think so by many millions. But the point remains, none of the of the ones that get close or surpass 400 million, will be Superhero films or primarily action based. Even in our predictions of multiple films no one is saying it's superhero films, whuch a few...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Maybe it is. I don't see Avatar 3 doing anywhere close to the first 2. Of course the first wa a phenom and the second burned too many people. Of course still likely to pass 400 but it's got it's own fatigue that the studio is fine with. Wicked 2 is also a safe bet. I think How to Train your...

    Of course I realize it. That is why I made the point! We are about to have two movies(and more later) do it this year. The franchises that typically do it or near it should do so with ease...until they don't. And they are typically not anymore. Tue ones that are crossing it are now typically...

    Define hit. It could help the audience trust and taste cycle upswing. I don't see them performing better on their investments than the family or horror success there has been in this year so far. Superman and Fantastic Four have a better chance due to likeability in artists involved and if they...

    They really would have loved an entire pavilion dedicated to Play.

    News New Kid Zones and Character Experiences Coming to Walt Disney World Summer 2025

    Again, not critiquing marketing. They are miracle workers with what is given. No one threw anything. Posters asked questions and obvious responses were given. Test track and parade were not ready. not marketing's fault, but the result is the result.

    News New Kid Zones and Character Experiences Coming to Walt Disney World Summer 2025

    Across 4 theme parks, 8 rides in 5 years as your competition keeps the same rate, not including and while building an entirely new theme park resort complex is hot garbage. It is not even good from their own standards.

    News New Kid Zones and Character Experiences Coming to Walt Disney World Summer 2025

    Test Track as substance for Summer marketing for something new at WDW. Yeah ...3-9 year olds and their families find parades a non-starter. The main ad for this literally revived around a parent nostalgiac for watching a parade as a kid now with their kid. It would have been a perfect time...

    Test Track and Parade opening as a part of it would have been a start.

    Definitely no absolutes and not the cult following and growth that the first had, but even it, made profit. Definitely agree with the first Saw. At least it was seven-esque and like other films the creators were inspired by.

    It is not just marketing though. I mean, it is but as a group of professionals they can only market what they are told to and are given as ...marketable. Which is....this.

    News New Kid Zones and Character Experiences Coming to Walt Disney World Summer 2025

    Summer is spread out compared to the holidays, but not the new slow season more than it is at any other park, and they are doing more and able to market more to do. Jugglers and parachute game with Goofy is not going to attract attention to the spread of the season more than Walt Disney World...

    News New Kid Zones and Character Experiences Coming to Walt Disney World Summer 2025

    If DISNEY WORLD's harder group right now to cater to are families with kids during summer break, that is something to pay attention to. The sky is not falling, but they need the demo more.

    Horror sequels almost always have diminishing returns by sequels. So Final Destination 6 at this point is relatively anomaly with such a gap between releases, but a gap honestly probably helped it most. As with many of us here, is what we have said Marvel should have done to let it breathe and...

    News New Kid Zones and Character Experiences Coming to Walt Disney World Summer 2025

    And it is a market to adults to bring 3-9 year olds. Just to make that clear. Something Disney should not really be struggling with durring the peak weeks of Summer vacation.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Never once did I say anything was impervious. Since the start. If it makes you feel like you win to say "being at the top is the start of fatigue" then go for it. And if it seems to you that I felt that way, that any genre wnt face fatigue, when each post said I did not feel that way, I am...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Yes, you are splitting hairs here. No one ever claimed impervious. Fatigue could be at the start of horror. That is kind of how it works early on. When many are a hit, many studios and producers chase the trend. That is kind of how success works. You could make a case for when it is at the top...
