That kind of work is covered by NDA - sorry love to share but cannot even in private. It's a good thing i'm part Sicillian as Omerta comes naturally.
There it is in a nut shell. I don't know how anyone can argue that this is not the driving force makiing every decision now at the TDC.

Seems like that concept inspired Edgar Wright

Nah, that's a rebooted version of a project at DWA called "Me and My Shadow".

So are all movies played on cable TV there because of acts of desperation? These channels need content. Why is this contract any different? Is WBs desperate for broadcasting all those Harry Potter Weekends? Or do they get a pass?

Unrelated but apparently tonight was the first night they didn't turn on the Hollywood Tower Hotel light sign at DCA. Word is the sign is coming down soon...The whole thing is still such a horrible, horrible decision.

It's the VALUE of the deal which smacks of desperation not the deal itself as internet distribution IS the wave of the future, 25 Mil per year for the crown jewels of Disney's film catalog is pretty cheap money.
And yet this is the SAME Disney company which paid 4 Billion dollars for a poor NFL package which did not even include a single Superbowl.
Looks like Disney 'Needs Cash Now' and sold the distribution rights for far less than they were worth.

I tend to agree with you. Would be interesting to see where the parks end up after the smoke clears, as they are consistently profitable.

That's funny/ironic that you say that...I think that people assume from my Mickey avatar that I am male....I'm not. But I chose it b/c it's probably my favorite short, my nose is always in a book no matter the chaos, and there is no 'Sorceress Minnie'.

At DCA it was never themed sufficiently or in the right location to call it "Hollywood Tower Hotel" to begin with. It is shoehorned between Bugs Land and the Monsters-Hollywood-Mad T Party Mess Land. As far as theme goes, I'd call it "Let's-Stick-It-Here-Land". So no reason to bemoan it's loss. Hopefully Marvel coherence will prevail.

This money is IN ADDITION to the Netflix deal. $25m/year for TV and advertising based streaming seems like a decent deal on top of the $300 million per year Netflix deal (since streaming is the future). Source: CNBC and Forbes

That's always been my point with replacing it. At long as the replacement is still a quality attraction (and it can/should be), it will potentially be a better overall theme by being part of a greater Marvel land. In DCA, ToT is just kinda there, in a side street, not really part of the greater Hollywoodland area.

Then why not make Hollywood Land better rather than diluting the park after all the previous work done in areas like Paradise Pier and Grizzly Peak?
This eyesore is going to be visible from all over.

They just tied it in fairly well with the Buena Vista Street revamp, specifically with the red car trolley. I'm having a hard time envisioning how turning it into a sci-fi space building will make the area any more coherent than it currently is.

Maybe I misunderstood somewhere, but I always thought that the Hollywood Tower Hotel was abandoned after the original "incident" in 1939, and the guests are touring it as it's about to be renovated? The story could be set any time after 1939, so I never thought it was incongruent with the more modern Hollywood stuff in DCA.
