David Poland says "Disney might kill Thor."

[Webhead2006]

That is what i and others have been saying about this. To their is news of things getting creatively forced in the comics or onto current film directors/producers i dont think we have much to worry about. Plus having disney does give them more money, bigger budgets to work with, then the whole marketing arm of disney which is very good at its job, and possible even use disney studio space if needed.

I think Disney is going to take chances with characters like Thor, unlike WB. They saw how Iron Man came out of nowhere & was a huge hit, so why not try a couple more times? There might be a couple slip-ups (I don't imagine Strange or Namor being huge hits) but the successes could make up for that.

I imagine Disney is going to let Marvel have it's current slot; if films like Thor satisfy than they will continue to let them have full reign. If Thor, Cap, and Avengers all bomb, I think they will start to take over.

hopefully that will never be the case.

I don't think they will take over even if those films bomb. I think they will give Marvel the room to do what they do. However, I do feel that Disney will begin to tighten the purse a little if that happens.

Believe me Thor, Captain America and The Avengers will be huge hits, no way they could disappoint. As for the anti-american sentiment in the world wich would result in low boxoffice for Captain America, i don't take it. Europe loves America like a child. Japan will watch as well. All those 3 big regions will watch. Maybe the film won't perform so good in Russia and China, but those don't have big influence on the profit. NABO, Europe and Japan always account for 80-90% of Worldwide Boxoffice.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Europe loves America like a child? Errr...no.

Cap will do well ONLY in America. It will make money overseas, but nothing special.

Europe loves America like a child.

Like a ******ed child that loves to torture puppies and kittens...

Just kidding, Americans can be alright.t:

Looks like POTC 4 is confirmed with a summer 2011 release

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=59033

Gotto wonder how Disney will juggle these release dates. I truly believe there is an over 50% chance Thor will get pushed to June or even August so POTC can take the May 20th slot. Either that or Cap moves out of that summer.

 

[Webhead2006]

who knows we will probably know more once both cap and thor start filming to see how things are going and if things are ready to go earlier or later.

Paramount: 'Thor,' 'Iron Man 2' still coming despite Marvel sale

by Alynda Wheat
Categories: Movie Biz, News
Paramount Pictures issued a statement today in the wake of Marvel Studios’ sale to Disney, reported earlier. The $4 billion deal won’t affect Paramount’s distribution arrangement for five upcoming films, the studio announced, including the highly anticipated Iron Man 2 and Thor. “Paramount Pictures has enjoyed a productive and fruitful relationship with Marvel Studios from the start of our distribution agreement in 2005,” the statement began. “So much so, we announced a five-picture slate distribution deal last year which includes worldwide distribution rights for upcoming films: Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, and Iron Man 3. This distribution deal will be unaffected by today’s transaction. We look forward to continuing to work with Marvel and, with today’s announcement, to working with Disney to replicate the incredible success of Iron Man on all our future collaborative projects.”

Good to hear it officially.

 

[Webhead2006]

well that news was pretty much stated on the day of the deal, but good to see another place talking about it.

 

[TheVileOne]

That doesn't really tell us anything we don't already know. It was already announced that Paramount's distribution deal with that current group of films would continue.

 

[Triad]

It is a good sign when we hear the official statement above from Paramount.
Poland may or may not had some valid points, but you can argue whether they "might" be true ones. The only way for us fans to help assure the production of a Thor movie (likewise, Captain America and Avengers) is to continue to buy the comic titles, support future animated DVDs if any are released and of course, turn out in droves for Iron Man 2. If it shows that it will make money, it will be made.

 

[Hmarrs]

Europe loves America like a child? Errr...no.

Cap will do well ONLY in America. It will make money overseas, but nothing special.

Too bad Cap didn't come out around 9-11.
There was such a unity in America and around the world.
We were very patrotic at the time.

Also I noticed I'm commenting on your post that posted on 9-11.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Cap would of made Spider-Man level money if it came out around 9/11.

 

[TheVileOne]

Here we go now. Man if only we had Captain America during 9/11 then maybe we wouldn't be so worried about things right now .

Do you guys realize how petty and disturbing that sounds?

 

[DarknessFalls]

Marvel is still Marvel Disney not buying them to break them up. They can just exploit the character to their fullest. The more money the bring in from other avenues the more will go into these films...and now Mickey Mouse will not be in Iron Man 3.

 

[DACMAN]

Why would Disney spend 4 billion dollars just to stop Marvel from making money, and thus them money? Doesn't make sense.

 

[BestGirl]

Since they're still casting, it looks like Disney hasn't killed Thor. t:

Worried about what things? What are you talking about?
