Lion King remake now highest grossing animated film of all time

Good now we get proof that sales mean nothing and even a pile of shit can get there

There's no way Frozen 2 will pull it off, because canon lesbian incest will tank the film overseas

Oh no Disney beat Disney how will Disney ever recover from such a savage beatdown by Disney?

Friendly reminder that Toy Story 4 is literally days away from being Disney's SIXTH billion dollar movie this year

Lion King was the highest grossing animated movie for almost 2 decades, be happy it's nummer one again

I really don't understand why anybody is interested in this, and in enough numbers to break world records. I mean, we already have a way better version of The Lion King, but this one earns more money because it's more realistic?

I've never seen anyone in real life or online who loved this film and was hyped to go and see it. Where are all these people who just line up for this derivative uninspired garbage? It just sickens me on a visceral level that this is what people were apparently waiting for.

Why?

100 million more that quickly? last time I checklist was only 100 million away.

the west has become more and more obsessed with photorealistic fagism. or maybe the animation market has still been in a bubble economy like the video game industry used to

Maybe that big percentage is China again?

Why is Yea Forums always wrong?

I don't care because without inflation it's worthless
All it proves is that people are fucking idiots. They spend money on Minions too so I don't care about pleasing these losers

No, tell me: why should I be happy that this shitty movie is number one? It's not the same as the original one. It looks like shit, it's bland and uninspiring retelling.

Lion King's story isn't THAT good. It's the stunning visuals and display of emotion that made it so good.

I loathe normies so goddam much

Get ready for a full new decade of live action adaptations sh*tting on the original animated films guys

because we're a seething mass of autism who holds every opinion simultaneously, so we're always right and always wrong

She-ra and Carmen were already renewed before they even began. They also use what should be one season and split it into two
Toy Story 4 underpreformed and didn't even make it to a billion yet

but Carmen Sandiego is the best animated series of the year though

Quality almost doesn't matter in children's movies. Parents will pay for it no matter what because it's something to do with their kids. It doesn't matter if they think it looks terrible or the whole world tells them it's literally the worst movie ever. They just hope their kids will sit still for a couple hours.

>bonnie

she-ra is super niche shit. a success in a niche market is a different story

fuck normies and fuck chinks

I thought that was Avengers capeshit?

this is the death of animation right here.

they'll make a reprise, duh.

>Why is Yea Forums always wrong?

Falseflagging doesn't work, Yea Forums, we've been over this. Most of the buttrage about these shows or movies comes from your little abortion disposal pit of a board.

Lion King is way more iconic and beloved compared to Frozen, it was not surprising it did better.

You have a much easier time naming 10 characters from LK compared to Frozen

Because Yea Forums decided to become /tv2/ after Yea Forums became whatever hell it is now

Normalfags are dumb and don't care about creativity or anything but making things look as generic as possible and paying for tickets because of the company on the poster.
This doesn't make me mad or anything though since it isn't like big studio animation has made all that many good films lately anyway.

Fuck.

I didn't know we were /pol/ and Yea Forums and tumblr and reddit at the same time

Literally China.
They didn't get to see the original. This is all they got.

We need "Live Action Despicable Me"

A couple threads from the latest fandom cringe of the month, a couple waifu threads, one thread still bitching about Rocko trannies and everything else normal. How is this comparable to Yea Forums?

no she-ra is a failure no one but 10 fags who spam talk about it

Just wait until the Frozen live action film.

I want to Cum on That cub

How did Frozen even manage to be the highest grossing animated film? Was it really that good, or was 2013 a shitty year for animated movies where Frozen was one of the few good ones that stood out?

FUCK
now I'm torn.

I think they were showing it in theaters the whole damn year

Apparently it didn't make that much money in China, but it looks like it made most money in the "overseas" market.

I guess so, but I can't imagine this being something kids would want to watch, none of the trailers make it seem like it would be fun and it's mostly just riding off the cultural momentum of the original Lion KIng. I have a theory that a lot of these live action remakes are made so dull and "realistic" as a way for manchildren to want to see something they liked as a kid again as an adult but without anybody else making fun of them for still liking it, and if they can drag their kids along, all the better.

Just more evidence of how cancerous normies are. They'll eat up anything Disney shits out no matter how painfully mediocre it is.

>How did Frozen even manage to be the highest grossing animated film?
It was in theaters for like 6-7 months, which is a ridiculous amount of time considering that most movies are only in theaters for 6-7 weeks.

It's funny how poorly that picture aged

>Why is Yea Forums always wrong?
Because they like quality instead of popularity, duh.

Are they going to remake Lion King 2 or disregard it and make a different sequel?

Not surprised. Who pays $10 to see a romcom or a drama in a movie theater?

They have to go through their entire back catalog of remakes in the next 2-3 years first.

The streaming death of Theater attendance has been inevitable for a while now.

People who date girls.

From April to July, it only made maybe 2 million dollars total. There wasn't a lot in the big plexes til Summer.
Flopzam only just limped out of theaters at the end of July.

reminder: Frozen was literally, LITERALLY fucking "WICKED" but solely controlled by disney without being derived from a fucking edgelord novel full of pointless gay shit.

I mean, if they could convert them to piles of box office money, why wouldn't they?
Warner Brothers would suck dirty hobo cock for a billion dollar film this year.

It’s not the version I like, the one with Soul.

Puss in Boots was pretty good ngl

>this year
Try any year

Before Aquaman they hadn't had one since the first hobbit movie and odds are they aren't going to get another one any time within the next decade if ever

And Disney appreciates your Mommy buying you a ticket to it.
But time marches on, and their business model doesn't revolve around soothing the nostalgia of basement dwellers who never left the nest.

even you? is that it, you're mad that normies love mediocre shit from Disney but somehow not the mediocre shit that is you? poor buttdestroyed jelly.

It'll be interesting to see if Aquaman can break their sequel situation. I'd call it a "curse" except their sequels generally deserve less money.

At this point who pays to see any movie that isn't made by Disney in a movie theater?

I paid to see King of the Monsters. I really should have redbox'd that shitmess.

It can't. Aquaman 2 will either be going up against a Star Wars movie or an Avatar movie. Either way it's DOA.

No, it’s not.

Me

They'll try and skooch it to a less crowded week, same as they did Aquaman. It's only bad if Disney uses Fox as an excuse to up their movies per year up from 10-11 to something closer to Fox + Disney.

You could have prevented this.

You could have made Spiderverse #1

You chose this reality

Attached: peni.jpg (494x437, 69K)

I saw Spider-Verse in theaters. I own it on Blu Ray. You can piss right off.
Sony poorly marketed it.

Rising Popluations
Overseas Markets
Inflations
Rising Ticket prices

Putting this movie in the animated category feels very weird.

same fucking actresses/singers; song about breaking free and GURL POWER (similar themes), similar premise of "what if we made the villianness sympathetic/the hero?"

Not after this year. In fact just a few days ago they announced they were pretty much killing Fox and turning it into another Pixar/Marvel/Lucasfilm

Sorry but I like everyone else with a working brain don't watch shit movies by studios that aren't Based Disney

Captain Marvel should have clearly indicated to you the level of influence Yea Forums has on box-office.
Active attempts were made to sabotage Captain Marvel's buzz, with a net result of adding another restriction on internet speech.

/pol/ is going to help Facebook and Ted Cruz kill Section 230 and then we'll suddenly all have time for self-improvement.

>Frozen
>not gay
6 years is an awfully long time to be stuck in the "denial" phase.

I dont want to live on this planet anymore

it's certainly less explicitly gay.

it's pretty fucking gay, but compared to the novel of wicked, where there's basically eyes-wide-shut-orgies where some guy gets buttfucked by a lion. Frozen is basically "pure".

But Lion King (2019) is a live-action movie for adults.

Honestly for the best. Fox themselves already milked their few interesting franchises dead.
If anyone still gave a shit about Predator, that last films should have fixed them.

Disney has more than enough money to buy tons of tickets themselves to inflate the numbers.

And an award-winning stage production, and an animated television series, and a merchandising cash cow, and so forth.

You either jump on the Based Disney train and enjoy your new life of only Disney movies in theaters and Disney+ being your only choice for streaming or find out if you can stop a bullet with the roof of your mouth

Babby’s first conspiracy theory never fails to make me laugh, thanks

That's now how publicly traded companies work.
I'd explain that to you, but you don't seem smart enough to make it worth my time. Basically that'd be sec

Oh no you will still get Predator movies as well as Alien and Planet of the Apes.

They'll just be the Disney versions

*basically, Disney buying it's own tickets would be Securities Fraud.

I would unironically fucking love a Predator musical

dude...what if ticket sales aren’t even real? what if Disney ate all the popcorn too?

Technically it's the second. The first was that Disney was forcing every theater in the world to only play their movie for an entire week because they didn't know how theater schedules worked.

Of course the funny thing is that pretty soon theaters actually will be playing only Disney movies but not because they're being forced to by the studio

>Reading comprehension
Try harder next time

Disney has the best lawyers in the world.

That's fine, I don't like popcorn. But if they touched my gummy bears the Mouse is going to fucking bleed.

The funny part of this meme is that the top 20 films of Japan are filled with Disney, whereas Japan's top film in the USA is barely on the chart.

For some reason, Japan's endless repeats of "boy and girl experience magic and love in samey animation stylee" just doesn't play well outside of Ronery-ville.

It's cheaper to just provide wholesome family entertainment and collect all the ticket monies.

Does WB even release animation into theaters anymore? Or have they capitulated to the bottom shelves of Walmart racks? Does Flopachu count?

>tfw I'm the only person I know who would rather go to the cinema over just staying at home and watching something

I can honestly say that outside of King of the Monsters, the last 10 movies I've seen in actual theaters were MCU flicks and Aquaman.
I just own too good a home theater, and less raucous films are best enjoyed in a cozy setting.

I'm so scared of powerpoint slideshows that have so similar characters no one in the world can distinguish them

>Records getting broken left and right
>NOOOO you can't use inflation!

I gotta say, Amazon dropped another episode of Vinland Saga this afternoon, and if you aren't watching it you are missing out.

>Disney that they can literally just jeep remaking all the movies they've already made in "live action" and make a clean billion every time

It's not that likely that they'll skip the number 6 or that 2 Disney movies won't make a billion with Star Wars, Frozen, and Maleficent on the way with absolutely no competition

Big screens are great.

This. It's better to just stay at home and only go out to see Disney movies aka the only good movies being made

I accidentally skipped #6. Here's what's likely for 2019.
1. Endgame
2. Episode IX
3. Lion King
4. Frozen 2
5. Spider-Man: Far From Home
6. Captain Marvel
7. Aladdin or Malificent
8. Malificent or Aladdin
9. Toy Story 4
10. The Wandering Earth.

Marvel Studios alone seems likely to out-gross Warner Brothers in it's entirety.

Oh no, Disney defeated itself. How will they recover.

Proles.

By dethroning Netflix.

Endgame was yanked from Chinese theaters abruptly to prevent it from dethroning Wandering Earth as the #1 grossing film in China in 2019. (It only ran for 4 weekends in China).

Most likely kept Endgame from getting closer to 3 billion.

Current Yea Forums is worst.

You mean almost 1 decade. Finding nemo was 9 years after lion king.

overseas markets and inflation

Nemo didn't earn more than LK

Sad little bastards.

Yeah, does that matters?

I wonder what'll happen if/when Disney drops Disney+ at some point in the future.

Wrong you moron. It made 95% of it's money in it's first 3 months.

Frozen topped the box office in it's sixth weekend. Theaters keep playing movies that people want to see.

>Most movies are only in theaters for 6 weeks
Lmao at this lying piece of shit. How dumb do you think we are?

Yes it did. Lion king made around $760 million. Nemo earned $100 million more.

Copol doesn't understand that normal well adjusted people don't actually care about their autism

Well wonder is all you can do because that will literally never happen

All the songs in the new film will leave you Speechless- if not worse than Speechless.

hence the "if/when"

Netflix is bleeding and the dearth of streaming services out there doesn't help either. If there's a bubble, it's eternally three days away from bursting.

Sure it is just like the "superhero bubble"

Netflix is dying because all of its content is leaving and the other services won't survive with their prices so Disney is about to dominate streaming just like they dominate theaters

>Netflix is dying because all of its content is leaving
It was dying before everybody else took a slice of the pie.

>the other services won't survive with their prices
But they could just offer more competitive pricing or bundling options. Even Disney is getting into the bundling game, earlier than the rest, by offering Hulu and Spotify together.

How can a live action movie be the highest grossing animated film?

Because they already own hulu and they are not offering Spotify

does Yea Forums and Yea Forums loves to be asssblasted everytime?

That's what I'm saying. The future of streaming may very well be bundling services together in order to appeal to consumers with the illusion of saving costs. From there, we'll be seeing corporate allegiances and warfare. And with the modern zeitgeist those allegiances will fall upon their most zealous of consumers to fight for them.

Imagine a fight in the streets because one nigga watches "Stranger Things" and another digs on that "WandaVision" shit.

I couldn't imagine you putting up a fight against anything tougher than an 11 yr-old girl.
