My response: "Sounds like I'll be seeing it 100 days later".

I read somewhere the other day that things aren't going well and they're thinking of rebooting old IPs like The Incredibles.

Is going back to past hits a good idea?

Toy Story 5 is salted for 2026

I know, typo. But a delicious one.

Look everyone. Another sequel...can we get something new?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

18 of their 27 films are originals. 9 are sequels/spinoffs (Lightyear, Monsters University). They have a pretty good track record.

I was talking about Hollywood as a whole. But game on.

I understand it's an industry problem, but I think credit should be given to Pixar, at least for now. I do have to say, I was surprised some sequels to their IP wasn't actually Pixar, like Planes. I still don't think a single sequel is cause for complaint, though. I generally enjoy the criss-crossing sequels of the Marvel universe because it saves a lot of time without extra exposition at the start. DC is where I'd complain about the lack of new IP because they love rehashing Batman and Superman. But even still, those are Rollercoaster movies meant to be fun, not a deep exploratory plot more akin to spending a day hiking a mountain instead of a theme park. The biggest issue with new IP is convincing the audience why they need to get attached to the characters in the first 20 minutes. Plenty of new movies come out and they typically flop.

Fuck you, here's Beetlejuice. Remember Beetlejuice?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I love beetlejuice and have introduced it to the next generation.

Thankfully my son is usually uninterested in legacy sequels/revivals of IPs where he has seen the original so will be able watch it if it reviews well or skip it if not.

Unfortunately when he hasn't seen the older iterations he is often quite keen. We hadn't watched the earlier Garfield films (why would we?) so he was interested and we watched the new one today. (it was aggressively mediocre)

I think Pixar has been pretty miffed at their stuff going straight to streaming so this may be a concession disney made to try to appease them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Just means I won't watch it for longer, it doesn't convince me to pay 20 bucks a ticket.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Movies producers finally realizing that having their movies go to streaming a week later is bad for their movies and the movie theaters they want to show their movies in?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Also kind of sounds like they don't have a lot on the slate and are looking to have something in theaters for an entire season

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Disney has pushed like 3-4 releases back out of 2024.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Love the theatre but my home setup is so fricken good now. The only thing traditional theatres can beat me on is sound and that's only because I don't want to disturb my neighbors.

Something tells me it'll be streamable about 3 days after its first theater screening in Russia
