While this may not be a big surprise, a new report revealed that Disney+ in recent years has suffered a lot of damage to Marvel Studios, “Star Wars” and Pixar brands. Streaming increases were accelerated in 2020, in high response to Covid-19 pandemic that closed theaters around the worldThe mouse house had already begun Disney+, but the conditions forced the company to double. It may have helped it initially reach the streaming game, but it came at the expense of the biggest brands of some studio.
New message by the author Wrapping Has deeply into this topic, revealing Marvel Cinematic Universe, the “Star War” franchise and the animated power plant Pixar, all suffered from Disney+. This is a difficult issue, but in short, Disney+ created too much of what was once a poor thing and made it accessible to everyone from their home comfort. Thus, the films of these brands have suffered, while even the number of viewers in Disney+ has seen the rapid fall.
In particular, Marvel Studios has been an approximate year with both Captain America: Brave New World ($ 415 million worldwide) and Thunderbolts*($ 382 million worldwide) are disappointed. Even “Fantastic Four: New Steps” fell rapidly on the second weekendDespite centering on the A list team and earn great feedback. Even Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige has become very intact for Disney+ effects on a one -time bulletproof MCU:
“Expanding is what devalu (Marvel brand). It was just too much. It was a lot of company pressure. And no need to go too much to go. There was a power to put us in the middle.”
Hasty prioritize Disney+ for a fee
Other films, such as “Eternals” and “The Marvelers,” were also large. “Captain Marvel” earned well over $ 1 billion in the year in 2019, but “The Marvelers” was the all -time low -level MCU movie, just cleaning $ 200 millionIn the area, Feige pointed to heroes such as Ms. Marvel, who debuted in Disney+ shows that made the audience believe that they may not know what was going on, so they chose to skip it. The same can be said for “Thunderbolts*”, which saw a lot of TV characters crossing the big screen.
“Given the quality of Marvel Disney+, it has been incredibly mediocre, it has pulled all the brand down and diluted their creative. People now don’t care,” the producer, who wanted not to be called a wrap. Really, Admission to shows like “secret invasion” hurt MCUIn the area, as it is connected to the universe, it allowed people to quit or wait to stream MCU recent films at home when they arrived in Disney+.
This Disney+ problem also applies to “Star Wars”, albeit differently. Mandalorians helped start the streaming service, and it was a huge success from the gate in 2019. In the same year, “Skywalker Growth” at the box office earned USD 1 billion Despite all its perceived flaws. However, since then, we have not yet won one movie “Star War”, but we have had performances like “Bob Fett’s Book”, “Obi-Wan Kenobi”, “Skeleton Crew” and “Acolyte”, all of which failed to get the second season without the expectation.
Meanwhile, the very well received Andor raised its entire race its spectators, but it still failed to match “Mandalorian”. This makes a difficult justification The “Star Wars” series of eye melting $ 650 million budgetEven after the fact.
Disney tries properly, but is it too late?
The “Star Wars” film franchise was a limited thing for many years, so at any time the film was installed in the distant galaxy, it felt special. However, Disney+ has now set up live projects that are much more common in this universe. It remains to see how it will affect future property films, but “Mandalories and Grog” will test it next summer.
As far as Pixar is concerned, Disney sent several animated studios of original films (specifically, “Luca”, “Soul” and “Get Red”) directly in the early years of the Disney+ Pandemic. This, in turn, gave people the impression that they must be seen by theatrical events now “free”. And while “Inside Out 2” last year earned amazing $ 1.6 billionThe original films of the studio have now fought. This year’s Elio alone has earned less than $ 140 million worldwide and will be completed as a studio all -time movie, making it a commercial disaster for Disney. Similarly, Pixar’s Disney+ output, such as the original series “Win or Lose” is not in a meaningful way.
Disney CEO Bob Iger previously recognized a hurry to prioritize Disney+ “Diluted Focus and Attention”, such as Marvel and Pixar. As a result, the company has tried correctly, as it has made a practically large budget, direct film streaming films. Because of it, Disney’s direct action “Lilo & Stitch” remodeling that was eliminated at more than $ 1 billion at the box office After becoming the theater’s graduation, instead of this year’s stream this year. Since many read this, no doubt remembers the Moana 2 studies almost the same after it turned from a streaming series into a theater feature last year.
This leaves us some big questions to answer. Is it all too little, too late? Can Disney Course Successfully and Return MCU on the road? Can it reduce lucasfilm output and make the property “Star Wars” feel special again? And is there any chance that Pixar’s original movie will make a big business again? Time will tell, but we can only hope that the answer to all these questions is “yes”.
