Indiana Jones 5 Now Pushed Back to 2021

New poster also released.

View attachment 709166
Despite the appearance of 2006 Disney print logo in the poster, to be honest, i would not expected the Disney 100th anniversary logo to be appeared at the film itself, like this logo concept, unless unexpected event happened.

Because, there was precedent of Marvel films post-2009 Disney acquisition that did not have Walt Disney Pictures logo at the opening or closing, also confirmed by Bob Iger in 2015 regarding Star Wars: The Force Awakens. They intended to restrict the appearance of Disney logo to more relevant live-action films/franchises (of course produced by WDP itself), as well as family-friendly Disney and Pixar animated films.

So you’re saying that you doubt the onscreen Disney logo would appear in Dial of Destiny, despite the poster for the film?

I believe @Disney Irish just constructively educated you on the fact that Disney has been producing PG-13 movies since 2003 with POTC. And has produced many PG-13 movies since. What's the ish?
The problem is that only Star Wars and Indiana Jones films should be produced and released under the Lucasfilm unit/label. Why does the Walt Disney Pictures unit/label have to be involved with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny? It makes no sense!

Why do you honestly care?

The last thing I care about is what production brand it falls under as long as it is a great film
Realistically, how much weight does the Lucasfim banner actually have anymore anyway? I could see them just folding the Lucasfilm IPs into the main Disney banner.

Same can be said about Pixar.
Pixar is more of an animation studio than a label. Imagine, though, if they decided to streamline the feature animation unit and fold/integrate Pixar into Walt Disney Animation Studios, with said Emeryville-based studio becoming: "Walt Disney Animation Studios Emeryville", and allowing the original Burbank studio (along with the Vancouver one) to do 2D-animated films again, while the new, renamed Emeryville studio does CG films. The Vancouver studio could also act as a support studio for future animated Disney films in addition to making Disney+ shows, and maybe, one day, their own film.

I believe Lucasfilm still has a good enough amount of weight.
The question is, does it hold more weight than the Disney branding? What will be the better branding point for star wars, Indy... moving forward? While I personally don't want the Lucasfilm branding to go away, I just don't know if it has that punch it needs for Disney to keep it the headliner. I don't see it going away, they'll just keep all the effects departments, ilm, Skywalker sound... under it.

LucasFilms is just like Pixar, a film studio under the Disney umbrella of studios. Having the additional branding of Walt Disney Pictures doesn’t take anything away from LucasFilms as a studio or a brand.

Think of it like all those films that have multiple production company title cards at the beginning of the film. This will be no different if that is what they decide to do.

I wonder if the Paramount logo will be used.

When Disney bought Lucasfilm Paramount had the distribution rights to Indy movies. They made a deal where Disney distributes the movies but Paramount still gets their cut of the profits. The same thing happened with Marvel, and the first Avengers movie was distributed by Disney but the Paramount logo still appeared.

Guessing (hoping?) it will since opening with the Paramount mountain logo match dissolve is a series trademark at this point like the scroll crawls in SW films.

Paramount logo is on the poster in the lower left, so I assume it’ll be in the title cards too.

Well there we have it. If the Disney logo is just for the soundtrack as was pointed out, and the Paramount logo is there the one person who was deeply concerned about the Disney logo appearing in the theater can rest easy and we can all move on from a rather pointless topic.

As I said…all I really care about is good movies, but with that being said I doubt Star Wars and Indiana Jones would ever be separate from the Lucasfilm banner

That’s why I don’t want WDP as part of the additional branding for Indiana Jones 5! Just Lucasfilm and Paramount. Having WDP involved as well would make (and/or confuse) Indy 5 a full-blown Disney movie.
