yeah, I think DIsney is making a ton of money off movies being released on D+. Like was said earlier, they get to keep 100% of the profits, they dont have to share with a theater, they dont have to distribute it, which saves them 10s if not 100s of millions of dollars, they dont have to pay as much for marketing with giant posters and movie theater cutouts and props....I really thing Disney is gonna be releasing movies on D+ on a regular basis and Im all for it. I wish they were 20 bux instead of 30 but I still think its a great value esp if your a household with kids.

It's good for some movies like cruella and the like. But for the mcu, star wars and anything with a grand scale the theater is the best experience.

I canceled Disney Plus and the entire bundle. No reason for it after I rewatched the Ewok movies and the FX Networks original series The Shield, Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me.

I canceled after the free first year. I own all the Disney animated movies and Star Wars movies (original cuts too), including the ewok movies and cartoons.

I've ripped my entire dvd and bluray collection onto a local media server to let me stream my movies in full lossless quality around the home.

If my wife didnt like some of the netflix and hulu shows I'd cancel those too.

Same but what about Mandalorian, Last season of Rebels, Bad Batch, Loki...those not appealing to you?

I paid on the cheap for the 3 year bundle and got a free year from Verizon so I'm locked in to 4 years already paid up.

There are still newer Disney/Pixar movies we don't own so it's good to have access to those and my kids like some of the original stuff. Plus there is a ton of other things that appeal to us (Nat Geo) and new things in the Pipeline (behind the attraction original) that would likely keep me on had I not prepaid.

If his primary objections was being pushed aside so they could focus more storytime on Luke, Leia and Han, then that shouldn't be an issue any longer since they have all been killed off.

He was pushed off for more screen time for Rey. The sequel trilogy wasn’t about the Rey, Poe, Finn crew. It was all Rey and her awkward partner Kylo.

Really? Because from my perspective, they spent way too much time trying to retell the old stories with the old actors, than actually fleshing out something new. Those movies would have been far better if Luke, Leia and Han were just written off from the start.

That was mainly the first episode of the Sequel Trilogy. It copied the first Star Wars movie in almost each scene. It deviated from there. Luke and Leia were already completely discarded in the second movie. Han was gone in the first.

The Sequel Trilogy was actually successful in making us want to completely forget about it.

What? No. The second movie was almost entirely about Luke. I will say it was probably one of the better Star Wars movies since it actually added some depth and humanity to Luke's character, but I doubt any of the new actors really signed on to be in another vehicle to promote Luke Skywalker toys.

I’ll reveal details when I can. But the land will get an E-ticket sooner than most here seem to think. And not an Iron Man RnRC.

Considering they would have to be starting all over in a lot of ways, since people working on Firebird were laid off back in October. At ether mean it would be a rush job, or a MASSIVLE scaled back attraction.

Im kinda glad theres a possibility of getting a different e ticket considering the plan they had before seemed heavily screen based

We are now going on design 5 or 6 of Avengers E-ticket. It's almost impressive at this point in how Disney and WDI have screwed up, this massively, on capitalizing on the biggest pop culture IP in the world.

Disney has owned Marvel for over 10 years at this point! In that time WDI has sh@t out retheme after retheme, with Iron Man and Ant-Man in HK being worse than what they replaced. Of the 7 Marvel rides, built or in actual construction, 4 of them are rethemed rides, 2 of them are just Midway Mania 2.0, and only 1 of them has been given a budget that is befitting the juggernaut that is the MCU with Cosmic Rewind.

This is what you get in the cheap--Chapek era, you don't get a full Marvel land, you get an Avengers ally.

So black widow made over 40 million in its first day. It's on its way to 90+ million for the weekend. Man marvel really is on the decline. :rolleyes:
Click to expand...
FROM BOX OFFICE MOJO: Right now, the pandemic opening weekend record to beat is F9’s $70 million. If Black Widow matches that number, it would be the lowest grossing opening of an MCU film since Ant-Man ($57.2 million) in 2015. Of the last 10 Marvel films, only two have opened to under $100 million (excluding Spider-Man: Far from Home, which had a Tuesday opening ahead of July 4th, and would have surpassed $100 million with a Friday opening). Doctor Strange opened to $85 million in 2016, and Ant-Man and the Wasp opened to $75.8 million in 2018. It is hard for us to say whether or not in “normal times” Black Widow would have opened closer to those films or closer to films such as Captain Marvel ($153.4 million) or Thor: Ragnarok ($122.7 million). For the current situation, though, breaking pandemic records seems good enough, even if it puts Black Widow at the lower end of recent MCU films.

So don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Let's wait and see what it actually does.
