Mary Poppins 3 is in the works

Well it really doesn't deserve a part 3 for starters. MPR is only at 261mil, sure the budget was only 130mil so right now it's at break even before the substantial marketing campaign. That would be a flop in my book.
True, but Disney is the king of post-theatrical sales. This is something that will have great DVD sales and be popular on Disney+. Very franchisable.

Oh I agree, but what's more franchisable than star wars and they dropped Solo like a bad habit. It will take a lot for poppins to beat solo, and solo was considered a huge failure. You have lego movie and how to train your dragon next month then off to the races with Marvel in march. So it only has a few more weeks most likely. I know they expect more from star wars but poppins was the reason they wouldn't move Solo. They expected big things from it and it failed to deliver. It really is a double whammy for Iger as if Solo was in December it would have done significantly better. Not saga or Rouge one numbers good, but it would've at least been respectable.

After seeing 2, I would definitely go see 3.

I'm with this guy. Does there need to be a 3? No. Will my or anyone's feelings on that stop them from making it? Nope. Might as well see if it's any good LOL

the world needs more escapes like mary poppin movies. Lets be honest, its one of those rare movies you can take your kids to, and forget all the realness in the world. And Disney did a great job of making it feel like a movie they would have made at the same time of the original.
