And to be clear, they are not alone in this, as we are definitely on the verge of the great streaming consolidation. They are just the highest profile with the most to lose.

Had Disney+ for a week before canceling it. Never found anything to watch there.

It's already made quite a bit more domestically. Due to the smaller budget I would say it's done better than Godzilla Vs Kong.

It’s so bad financially that the streaming mediocrity is being pressed to disc.

The dude claimed the Marvels would make 1 Billion if not for the Writer’s strike and the only other piece they made to to back up this argument is because Captain Marvel made a Billion.

Moving on . . .

I’m having a hard time also. I am hanging on due to the Star Wars shows and now with the Hulu bundle since we do like Shogun. Outside of that, the problem with Disney streaming is that I own ALL of their legacy content on disc and even some of their newer stuff. So, it is hard to find things to watch.

I’ll try The Acolyte but it looks fairly lame. If I bail on that then Shogun is the only reason I have D+ and that show is on Hulu.

I’m a disc guy through and through, but I don’t see Disney ever losing Marvel, it would be counter-productive to their theme parks and other attractions. Also merchandise is obviously a huge thing, and Disney have just signed off a multi year deal with Epic Games, which gives them a presence in Fortnite and even more interest in Unreal Engine.

I would say the chances of Disney selling Marvel are less than 1%.

Fantastic 4 is coming next year, and their output ramps up after that. They reckon they will show profitability by the end of the fiscal year, we shall see I suppose.

“Wicked Part 1 will be the biggest Box Office hit of the year. It will gross over $1 billion worldwide, with many Wicked and Ariana Grande fans turning out to support the film”

The only movie that might disappoint is Mufasa because I don't think people that much care about the Lion King remake beyond superficial nostalgia and this new Mufasa movie won't be that much related to the original Lion King and won't be a musical.

With the exception of Mufasa not being a musical, I was correct.

These are my Disney predictions for 2025:

- Snow White (flop)
- Lilo & Stitch (success)
- Elio (flop)
- Freakier Friday (success)
- Tron: Ares (flop)
- Zootopia 2 (huge success)

MCU:
- Captain America: Brave New World (flop)
- Thunderbolts (flop)
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps (success)

Other:
- Avatar: Fire and Ash (huge success)

[Foggy]

Captain America: Brave New World will open similar to Quantumania. It’ll have a bigger than expected open but will have terrible legs. I reckon critical reception will be positive but very muted. Thunderbolts will surprise and do bigger than most expected due to a better reception and a bit of more space at the start of the Summer.

Fantastic Four and Superman will end up hurting one another and both will underwhelm at the box office, I reckon Superman will suffer more and set off Warner Bros panicking.

Minecraft will be big and probably come close to cracking a billion, if not does.

WB will have a bad year next year with it’s auteur driven slate, out of the films Mickey 17 won’t be massive but considered a minor success, and the PTA film with DiCaprio will likely do decent numbers but won’t turn profit due to it’s rumoured budget.

Snow White will perform similar to Little Mermaid. Not the outward flop people are calling on it, but not the smash Disney likely want.

Mission: Impossible will likely disappoint box office wise, much like the last one, the Top Gun: Maverick success was pretty much a fluke.

Jurassic World 4 will come out the summer as the major success story.

Venom 3 will also be an actual success compared to the two above. May get around 50-60% Tomatometer wise, but it will be a fun film that will make decent money

Nosferatu, Sonic 3, and Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes will all kick ass.

Well, least I was on the money with these.

The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohiem will be the Into The Spider-Verse of the year. A licensed animated spinoff that takes everyone by surprise.

.......................I also must have been high off my ass when saying this because what the hell was I smoking.

[Mikezilla3k]

For 2025, Thunderbolts-with-astreiek-because-funny-LAUGH, Minecraft, Snow White and Lilo And Stitch will make a billion dollars. Oh, and films like Sinners, Mickey 17, M:I, and Superman will flop horrendously.

Because people are idiots for slop given how films like D&W and Wicked have been successes. All while good films like Furiosa and TF: One bombed.

I have no more hope for the GA's intelligence.

To make a long story short...

People who like different movies than me are stupid.

Got it.

Disagree about Superman and Fantastic 4. Both will be hits.
