I wonder if Fox has learned a very valuable lesson from all this.

Stay true to the source material, give fans what they want, push boundaries.

One only needs to compare Deadpool to Fantastic Four to see the stark difference these ideologies can effect in the box office.

I'm very happy for Ryan Reynolds in this too. He's so charismatic and enthusiastic about this that he really deserved the comic-book win he's been fishing for.

LA Times posted a story about Scott Trowbridge and his work on the Star Wars expansions at Disneyland and WDW.

Edit: Just took the time to actually read the article. I gotta say, I like Trowbridge's focus on innovation (a trait sorely missing as of late at Imagineering) and his overall opinions. Hopefully some good will come out of all this hack-n-slashing of Disney parks.

Agreed. It was really funny, and I expected it for the most part but it exceeded my expectations. I can't wait for another.
I'm 99% convinced it was intended to be one of the heli carrives that crashed in winter soldier. It was being scrapped so it definitely was not as big in the huge turbines but the bridge looked spot on to me [/spoilers]

I think they were not cutting, but rebuilding it.
Hence the new different engines. They looked like JET based engines.. like the comic first designs from where Nick Fury was white.
PS, speaking of fury.. that Jackson comment in the end was spot on!
Its like they were mocking ALL series, from X-men side to Marvel Cinematic side.

A non-Disney Marvel movie just set the record for largest R-Rated film opening and a bunch of other records as well, including Largest opening Weekend for 20th Century Fox.

Movie was budgeted at $58M, so..... pretty much gonna be in the black from here on out.

My only rebuttal to that is that the carrier was IMO looked to be in a scrap yard and not a ship yard. With all the broken cars piled up I instantly thought it was being dismantled

Was WED ever in debt to the tune of $53 million?

There was this one time when Walt Disney went out on a limb to build a "theme park" with no proof such a concept would be successful. I think Walt Disney said in an interview it started out with a budget of a few million dollars and that number grew and grew, until it was an exponential amount of debt above and beyond what was originally planned.

Whatever the number was, it seems to have turned out all right. :D I remember hearing Sun Bank was the only lender who went all in for Walt Disney World decades later and that bank was handsomely rewarded for its vision as well.

I hope Kanye remembered to "like" that picture of Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook so that he can get that billion dollars he's asking for.
