Did Disney even try to get it into theaters? There are limits on the number of foreign films that can be be presented within a year.Anyone know if and how much DIS was anticipating from the Chinese box office?

The larger story is also often poorly reported, notably ignoring that the government itself is majority owner of two Winnie the Pooh attractions that remain open.The articles I read said China denied release of the movie, so it sounds like Disney tried but were blocked.
If Bautista keeps this up and is fired/able to get out of contract, Drax is written out in reshoots of A4, and Adam Warlock becomes the official 6th member early in GotG3. At least that’s my guess.
Natalie Portman somehow got out of her Marvel contract (she also had issues with a director being let go). If Bautista wants out, Disney can replace him or move on without him.
However, will creative people want to be on a leash like Disney seems to be doing rather than having a lot more creative control under another studio.
Obviously, I would say?Where have you been? LOL?
That has been Disney's reputation for a long time. Their traditional reputation, in fact.
That, however, is a far different (and very complex) topic than people being Gunn-shy, so to speak, about working for Disney. Working for Disney has always meant lots of funding that comes along with a certain amount of "leash". That doesn't change.
When it comes to Gunn, yeah - if you have a history of thousands of disgusting tweets in your past, you might think twice. And certainly Disney will be doing a lot more thorough checks before they hire someone for a job like this. But that is different from the overall nature of working for family-friendly and known-to-be-staunchy Disney.
Now, all that said - yes, I do think that just like has obviously happened in the past, Disney is never going to run out of creative people who want to work for them.
It is such a crazy idea to me to even think of - I guess I've just known too many aspiring actors, directors, producers, film editors, writers - they are everywhere. I could easily staff a 200-person TV show cast and crew with just people on my Facebook that I have known over the years - and I don't live anywhere near Hollywood (the opposite side of the country).
There is so much talent out there, way way beyond the few hundred people who seem to regularly work above the line in Hollywood.
Time to re theme the coaster over at EpcotSo, Bautista's return to the WWE is confirmed.
At this point, I could see Disney shelving GotG3. As was mentioned, this movie, and possibly the franchise, is currently toxic. It could change, sure, but I have to wonder if it will. Gotta love the unintended consequences from corporate knee-jerk reactions. Good thing they didn't build a ride... oops...
I read somewhere (probably in a thread here) that Feige's contract is up in a year or so. Very curious to know what he's looking for, both in salary and direction/control. I don't think salary would be an issue with Disney, so I'd think this will come down to how much control Disney wants to let him have. He's been THE guiding force with the MCU, and as a result Disney has a massive movie franchise it can milk... I mean, use for years to come. I guess it will ultimately boil down to Disney and if they think someone else can do the same job with the same level of effectiveness or not.
I guess the possibility of “Black Panther”, or worse, an animated film , winning best picture is too much for some people.Among other changes to the Academy Awards will be a new Oscar for "outstanding achievement in popular film":

With Infinity War winning, of course. After seeing that movie I immediately thought of having a category like this for movies the public actually went to see (I kid).https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/08/entertainment/academy-popular-film-category/index.html
If this category begins in 2019, I will be shocked if Black Panther isn't nominated.
I guess so.I guess the possibility of “Black Panther”, or worse, an animated film , winning best picture is too much for some people.
Multiple sources say that Gunn, represented by UTA and attorney Andrew Hurwitz, remains locked in complicated negotiations with Disney over his exit settlement. Gunn has written the script for Guardians 3 and was to have directed the third installment of a franchise whose first two entries (also written and directed by him) grossed $773 million and $863 million, respectively.
Sources say that Gunn, while under contract for the third movie, likely was not "pay or play,” a status that would require Disney to pay him his full fee regardless of whether his services are actually used. Filmmakers typically reach pay-or-play status when a movie is officially greenlit or eight weeks prior to the start of production, neither of which had occurred. But Gunn is not said to have breached his contract because the offensive tweets were sent years before he first signed with Disney’s Marvel Studios.
Some experienced talent reps estimate that due to the unique situation, Gunn could receive a payout of $7 million to $10 million, if not potentially higher. And, more importantly, he would be free to take on another project immediately. Also affecting the negotiations is that sources say Disney plans on using Gunn's script for the third movie.
These companies have sense unlike Disney. Good.
One would imagine Disney wouldn’t want to spend seven to eight figures fire Gunn too.These companies have sense unlike Disney. Good.
Great minds think alike.Among other changes to the Academy Awards will be a new Oscar for "outstanding achievement in popular film":
