BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Interesting tidbit in there also... a stand-alone movie based on the Star Wars world that is due Dec. 16, 2016, and directed by Gareth Edwards, will be called Rogue One. Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yep....that means 3 Star Wars movies will be released in 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 That's a lot of Star Wars in a short amount of time. A third interesting tidbit from that article is that Big Hero 6 has become the third highest grossing Disney animated film of all time, behind Frozen and the Lion King. I'm surprised by that.

TCD My older girls LOVE that movie. I think it escapes notice because it's not the traditional Disney animated film, but it has a huge following among teens. Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed... which also makes it the perfect time to roll out a Star Wars Land somewhere, doesn't it? Just a few minutes ago in the shareholders meeting, Iger mentioned that there were plans for expansion at DL that haven't been announced yet, but that would take place within the existing 2 gates (i.e., no rumored 3rd park), so... ??

Absolutely it makes sense. And no doubt more Star Wars in the parks is going to happen. TCD Link to post Share on other sites

But, I am surprised that it has grossed more than every other Disney animated film other than Frozen and Lion King. Where's the Baymax sing-a-long? TCD Link to post Share on other sites

TCD One benefit more recent movies like Frozen and Big Hero 6 have had is they were released in 3D. The box office tally increases a lot faster at $15/ticket than it does at $8.

I also have a feeling that Big Hero 6 did well overseas, and probably attracted a lot more male viewers than the princess movies. TCD Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 The 2nd teaser trailer has been released, and it includes some old favorites! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngElkyQ6Rhs Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wow, that trailer is great! I have no idea who those young people are, but I sure recognized the two guys at the end! TCD Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.TN22 12 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I watched it earlier today - I was happy at the end of the trailer - that was the best part! Link to post Share on other sites
parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I may geek out with this movie and try and go to the first showing at midnight when it comes out.I too really liked Big Hero 6, actually more than I thought I would.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just pooped my pants. That was awesome. I'd have paid $12 just to see that trailer. My only issue is this....I'll be boarding the Disney Magic on 12/18 in Miami. The day the movie is released. Does anyone know the best theater near the Port of Miami to see this at midnight without being mugged afterward? BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know the best theater near the Port of Miami to see this at midnight without being mugged afterward? LOL. I don't think there's any theater near the Port of Miami where you're not likely to be mugged before or after the movie. More than likely, they will be playing the movie on the ship. But, you may not have time for it then. Man, you've got a tough life. TCD Link to post Share on other sites
dvccamper 32 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just pooped my pants. That was awesome. Thankfully I didn't have that reaction. But I agree the trailer was awesome. I can't wait for this movie. Link to post Share on other sites
