I'd legit buy all of those. Hear that Disney, get off your ass and make some money.

Anything less than a billion dollars in profit isn't money to them

I've said it countless times, but it bears repeating.

What good is owning and hoarding a massive trove of films/prints/rights if you don't do anything with them. It's like putting money in the bank, except instead of interest, you actually have to pay to store the money, and the money slowly disintegrates over time.

30k here, 100k there, 75k here, it adds up. They had no problem investing millions/billions in massive flops, and theme park hotels that barely lasted a year.

To a lot of companies like Disney, not letting anyone else have them is a value to them.

I don't quite understand it myself but that seems to be the thinking of things.

Plus I'd wager it also has to do with merchandising. They cant have licensing deals for products, tshirts, Disney world tie ins, cross promotion and so on releasing old movies like they can by pushing new products. Disney seems to act as if they don't make billions on something it isn't worth doing, they only swing if they think it's going to be a home run. A base hit isn't good enough.

At least they seemingly seem to be slowly backing away from that by allowing some older titles to be released.

Really I wish anything non Disney friendly they own they would hand to someone like Sony and say "here, you release this and give us our cut of the money".
