Answer: the Disney corporation will survive just fine with this loss which is a tiny drop in the bucket for them.
Honestly I think the bigger problem for theater revenue is less the quality of the film, and more the theaters themselves.
They charge three months rent for a bag of popcorn, a kidney for the ticket, and the remainder of your life of slave labor for medium soda.
Even smuggling in the noms, the cost of the ticket alone isn’t worth the experience… the experience being shitty, squeaky seats, the smell of butter, cigarettes, and BO, obnoxious customers who are incapable of shutting the fuck up, and some fucking redneck sitting right in front of you with a 10 gallon cowboy hat that’s obstructing about a quarter of the screen.
The live action lazy remakes are just icing on the cake.
How many millions of dollars in profit were made by Jack Black saying the words “Chicken jockey?”
Money can be made with movies. Just…not by Disney.
Just…not by Disney.
Except Toy Story 5.
Also the Lilo & Stitch remake last year made about the same as Minecraft.
The Moana remake probably sucks, but Disney still makes money.
Keep making live action movies nobody wants. Do it over and over again.
adding the rock makes it worst too.
They should give us live action remakes, but R-rated.
Beauty and the Bestiality: No Ass is Safe.
Moana: All Grown Up.
The Incredibles: Come for the Milf.
Bambi’s Revenge.
The Iron Giant Dong.
Lady and the Tramp.
Related: in most of Europe, moana is called vaiana. Moana is the protected brand/name of some porn actress.
So go find “Moana: all grown up”, there is a chance it exists already 😋
I can’t help but feel like this entire comment was just so you could drop that last one.
I picture it like cats the movie (idk if the visuals of the characters are the same in stage version) but dogs
Please get it through your heads: animation is good. It can do anythong. Nobody needs a live action remake of an animated movie or show, especially since it’s all full of GC animation anyway.
Just make animation again and take some risks.
Up to this point, remaking classic Disney animated classics in live action has been done for the purposes of imposing a 21st century Gender Studies major’s sensibilities on them. Because you see, there’s a problem with 1991’s Beauty and the Beast. Sure, it was the third highest-grossing movie that year, it was the first animated film to gross over $100 million, it was the first animated film to win a Golden Globe for best animated picture and the first animated film nominated for the Academy Award for best picture…but you see, Belle wasn’t enough of a feminist polymath and the Beast wasn’t enough of a hateful incel, so it had to be redone from scratch.
Imposing 21st century Bachelor of Gender Studies sensibilities onto 20th century retellings of 16th century fairy tales has been the point. That’s why Mulan is effortlessly perfect and Snow White is half-hispanic, because women can’t learn to embrace their strengths or…be ethnically European. But Moana already had 21st century cynicism in it. Quoth Maui: “If you wear a dress, and you have an animal sidekick, you’re a princess!” What about Moana - or any movie made since Lilo & Stitch - does the rainbow hair crowd have to fix?
So you end up with a shot-for-shot, line-for-line remake that isn’t as colorful or stylized and thus an objectively inferior visual treat?
Can I have some of the Disney corporate cocaine? I’ve never had cocaine before and their behavior makes theirs sound great. Can I try it? I promise I’ll make a Sleeping Beauty movie where Prince Charming is convicted of rape and Sleeping Beauty is played by Whoopi Goldberg.
gomputer crapics?
I guess they won’t be making a Moana Broadway musical. The Disney cycle is broken! There goes the chance for The Rock to win a Tony award.
I saw an elementary school production of Moana Jr, and it had more heart, soul and accurate costume design than Disney managed to waste $100 million on.
The hierarchy of power is about to be redefined
I thought the 1990 TMNT movie was excellent. Live action can be done well.
That’s because Jim Henson put more heart and soul into the Turtles than Michael Bay.
They should just do Muppet remakes of everything instead.
That genuinely would be amazing
100% truth.
But the whole point of live action remakes is so that they don’t need to think!
🤣 screw dwayne johnson and screw these stupid remakes!
Did we need a live action remake of mid tier Disney movie?
