Disney arrogantly thinks that Disney+ will dominate streaming the same way it does the cinema.The problem with that is that Disney is going against HBO max. HBO being the most competent part of WarnerMedia. Who just set a record with 137 Emmy nominations.
Warner is also nearing a deal with JJ Abrams and Bad robot (500 Million dollar deal). Rumor has it, he's tackling Superman.

They have biggest opening weekend of all time, most by a film domestically, have biggest records of films six months out of the year, have how many of the top ten of all time. It is not close.
Which is why I said it goes back and forth. Looking at the Market share for the past two decades, Disney only lead 4 times. 3 of them in the past 3 years. Warner lead a whopping 12 times, while Paramount and Universal did it only once. Disney is making up for lost times.
Originally posted by playa1258Abrams is great but Superman is a bad idea. Dc is the past. MCU is the present and future. Your studio cannot even secure Henry cavill. It is a shit show of epic proportions. People still complain for the Snyder cut. Fired a director mid jl. So many missteps and you know it.
WB already has the deal with Abrams. Him taking on Superman is possible.We all know how Quan will react to that one.

Everyone was trying to get Abrams.
I guess everyone is desperate right?
Originally posted by playa1258Disney just had him. No, but the ideas of maybe this maybe that with their dc properties reeks of desperation. No clear strategy. Shazam, Birds of prey, supergirl, oh back to Superman, new Batman, etc.

Disney is factually dominant and owning all the records. Warner is flailing all over the place with no clear vision.
Disney is going to be No. 1 for the foreseeable future,” the studio chairman said. “But I do think there’s a chance for us and other studios like Universal because Disney and Fox have a very specific type of focus. That gives us a chance to take specific risks with theatrical releases that they wouldn’t take. It’s like baseball: hit it where they ain’t.
Pathetic.

Admittedly.
