He’s someone I follow on twitter and basically AMC hadn’t updated their website. Still, PTA was right. Spider-Man had the 2nd biggest opening weekend of all time. Quote

Counter programming is the answer. Also the fact, unlike liquorice pizza they decided to open wide rather then a limited release into wider expansion shows their belief Del Toro would sell regardless. But hey, if it gives you something to be upset about, guess that doesn’t matter https://screenrant.com/nightmare-alley-movie-release-date-disney-confidence/amp/ Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 8, 2022 Author Paid Members Posted January 8, 2022 Pixar getting face fucked once again. Also the third film featuring an Asian lead character in a row they've sent straight to streaming. It will be qwhite interesting to see what happens to Lightyear. Quote

But this is also the first solo female and Chinese directed film. Whilst the trailer did nothing for me, what they are doing with Pixar is disgraceful. Maybe they will sell it off. It’s not been the same since they essentially merged them anyway. I wonder if it’s a knee jerk reaction to Encanto bombing at the cinema but doing well on streaming?

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted January 8, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 8, 2022 What’s the deal with Disney and Pixar? Why is Pixar getting, by the sounds of it, shafted by Disney? Quote

Why is Pixar getting, by the sounds of it, shafted by Disney? Bob Chapek. The new CEO taking over from Bob Igor. Igor was the one who stopped Pixar leaving and eventually being bought by Disney. And whilst I don’t know for sure, this has only happened since Chapek took over in 2020. Quote

I thought the last two Pixar films were Soul and Luca, or are you meaning Disney as a whole? Quote

But at least it just wasn’t dumped out for free. It was the best of their animated films last year as well. Though The Mitchell’s vs The Machines was the best animated film released and should win the Oscar accordingly Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 8, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 8, 2022 Isn't Pixar ostensibly Disney's developmental now as all the best former Pixar guys have just been absorbed into Disney's main animation studio? Pixar stuff being exclusively on Disney+ is the equivalent to an NXT Takeover. Quote

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted January 8, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 8, 2022 Pixar has also avoided music and mainstream concepts. What I mean is by marketing and merchandising. A lot of their films like Up were really hard to get products out for from toy companies, and hard sell to kids because the main character is a grumpy old man. Frozen changed the landscape because it was a huge cross promotional marketing juggernaut. The reason you got so many Cars and Toy Story films is the amount of merchandise they shifted (especially with Cars which were ok at the BO, but sold tons of toys). It also doesn’t help that now there is not much difference between the look of Pixar and Disney films. I still often get confused if Coco was a Pixar or Disney film. Quote
