News Round Up 2017

I just feel like its two different worlds. Kids arent going to go see sausage party just because he plays Pumbaa you know? Just like I can appreciate Seth Rogen Films I can appreciate Disney films. 2 different fruits if you ask me.

My dislike of Seth Rogen possibly playing Pumba is just personal preference.

For example, I have a hard time hearing Josh Gad's voice and thinking anything else besides Olaf. That doesn't mean everyone else feels this way. His voice is just so distinctive and I'm afraid I can't separate his voice from the Olaf character.

It is kind of the same way for me with Seth Rogen. Not that I identify his voice with a particular character, he just always plays characters who smoke and swear and act a particular way. Which is fine, I've said I do enjoy his movies. Personally, I'll just be picturing Pumba as a guy whose high all the time and will be listening for any double innuendo jokes.

That's fair. Personal preference and all
 

Seems unlikely doesn't it? Lot of time before that schedule is set in stone.

Looks like a three week difference if I'm looking at it right . Three weeks difference is fine. Look at guardian of the galaxy and potc in may. it's a three week difference and it's set in stone.

Although POTC is still a large franchise, it's a good size smaller in comparison to what Star Wars rakes in - the last POTC film grossed ~$241 million domestically, while Star Wars VII grossed ~$936 million.

Similarly, the Avengers film have crossed anywhere from $459 million for Ultron, to $623 million for the first. Although still several years away, you can also assume that the final "Avengers" film will gross similar numbers. Guardians made ~353

Basically, Pirates and Guardians are going to make a ton of money - but likely won't hit Star Wars/Avengers numbers this cycle, and Disney might be wise to separate these "trilogy ending" films

Three weeks is good. Only time will tell
 
Just saw this posted about a discounted quick service dining card for people who book packages at Swolphin/good neighbor hotels/etc.

Obviously not huge savings but interesting that it is a way for them to push out something to people not staying at "fully" Disney resorts - and also obviously a way to try to get those people to eat more on property

Looks like a way for them to try and boost attendance too.

Rogue One was #1 at the Box Office for 4 or 5 periods (over the holidays, so not always weeks). Avengers Civil War was #1 for 2 weeks, #2 for 1 week. I guess if those are your comps it makes sense for Avengers to come a couple weeks before Han Solo and the next Avengers after that a few weeks before Episode VIII. But I still think you are cannibalizing the same fans somewhat. Not the die hards, of course, but the people like me that usually wait to see a movie on DVD but occasionally like to see something blow up on the big screen. I'll probably pick one, and it will pretty much be Star Wars both times, whereas I bet I've seen most of the MCU movies in theaters before this.

I guess I'm just somewhat surprised they aren't using July 4th for at least one of these two series.

Interesting, how does one book a package with with a good neighbor hotel? Wonder if you can book the hotel online and call and add this offer? Hmmm
