I understand this is slop for people who just pay for whatever movie so it doesn't matter there's no demand for it, but haven't all of these dog shit live action remakes barely broken even at best? What is the incentive to keep wasting money on them?
Refresh the copyright
Updating IP rights I imagine
IIRC lion king was a huge success, other releases like little mermaid still generated more revenue than their budget by factors of 1.5-2x, but that isn't considered a success for a movie this big
something low on disney's priority list but surely on there is that kids do generally like these movies. at least, I can see the justification for putting them into 3D CGI because I've seen my own daughter glaze her eyes over the original releases, but stay completely engaged with the 3D CGI versions.
IIRC the old rule of thumb for hollywood accounting is that marketing costs roughly the same as the movie's budget. That'd make anything under 2x a loss.
isn't the other rule of hollywood accounting that most of these numbers are manipulated from the get go?
Stop the slop in her formative years, don't let your daughter fall to that trash
