Avengers: Age of Ultron is the latest entry in the Billion Dollar club, hitting the mark after 24 days of release. Ultron joins Marvel's The Avengers and Iron Man 3 as Marvel Studios' third billion-dollar earner and becomes Disney's eight release to hit the milestone So does this mean that Disney becomes the first studio with TWO billion dollar movies in the same calendar year since its pretty much a guarantee that Star Wars will hit it?

Avengers already hit its billion mark and I am sure Sony could careless how far it drops now. I think the next big ones will be Minions and Jurassic World.

The top 5 movies all made at least $20mil this weekend, which seems impressive, but yet it's still a disappointment (though it is Memorial Day weekend which demands at least one runaway winner). Ah, Hollywood...

This is sort of the reason why I can't take a "We hate sequels/reboots and want more originality" argument that seriously. If as many people who claimed they wanted originality all went out and saw more original movies, then the original movies would be more successful as studios would take fliers on them more often. Studios pump out sequels and remakes because that's what people, even many of those who complain about a lack of originality in Hollywood, go see. Doesn't surpise me about Tommrowland What's the damn movie about amyways A secret portal to a futuristic world that a shady agency wants to get a hold of. At least, that's what I get from the trailer.

Disney needs to rethink the whole generic vague nebulous expensive Summer blockbuster thing, after Tomorrowland, Lone Ranger and John Carter. They need to make more interesting movies, and they need to do a way better job selling them. Or just make absolute shit like Maleficent because they're able to get people to show to that. Can't wait for the assured success of Johnny Depp is Dumbo.

What they need is for some of the crew from the main animation studio helping them with their live action stories given the roll they're on IMO.

Honestly, if the horror stories about John Carter are true, then Andrew Stanton ended up getting focus testing to death due to that being his first live action movie. Tomorrowland's "lower than expected" take leads me to believe that they probably wouldn't have as much faith in giving the reins to the Animation teams.

I actually think there could be some disappointments up ahead for WDAS. Zootopia in particular seems blah and half baked on paper, similar to the kind of projects they fell into in the early 00s. Clements and Musker do not have a good track record in recent decades, with a string of major commercial disappointments from Hercules to Treasure Planet to Princess and the Frog (TP being a terrible movie and PatF being mediocre at best), and their attachment alone has me not all that excited for Moana. Just reading the synopsis and seeing "2000 years ago" and "sea voyaging" I'm already struggling to stay awake as though I made the poor decision to revisit Treasure Planet or Atlantis. Honestly looking at the upcoming WDAS slate gives the impression that what you're suggesting is essentially already in place because blandness abounds.

Sony couldn't care less regardless... they don't have anything to do with Avengers. It is the Highest Grossing movie this year so far though so yeah... Marvel and Disney are probably fine with it.

When I suggested to some friends we go see it this past weekend, they asked what it was about and I didn't have anything beyond "I think its a sci-fi action movie, made by Disney, starring George Clooney." I was a very fun movie though, I'd recommend it to anyone.
