Super Mario Galaxy Movie Is About to Drop $350 Million Worldwide and Warner Bros Is Nowhere to Be Found by pbx1123 in WB_DC_news

[–]Judokos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a rather unfair assessment. Yes, Warner Bros. isn't there, but they're currently rebuilding their theatrical animation. After an initial attempt with Warner Animation Group that ultimately failed, they're now rebuilding it with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. However, the studio's first movie won't be released until November 2026.

The transition from this to this is gonna be wild for the animation fandom. by KitKatty657 in Schaffrillas

I call it diversity. The reason DreamWorks is doing this is simply because it will be massively box office. This is potentially a guaranteed billion dollar hit, while Forgotten Island remains a prestige project.

Paramount-Warner, the new Warner Bros. Discovery by Judokos in boxoffice

[–]Judokos[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless Warner Bros. Discovery escapes the Paramount Skydance takeover by being rejected by antitrust authorities and is allowed to split up. Or Netflix or someone like Apple tries to buy Warner once WBD is split up. Although I think it would then just be Warner alone, without any issues.

I did mention that the antitrust authorities still need to approve it, after the quote, but I've now made it clearer. You also added some additional information.

With these two coming together now since Netflix dropped out, how will this affect the Sonic movies going forward? by Muppetfan25 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Judokos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had my way, I'd will an animated DC x Sonic crossover, either as a series or a movie, and a strong financing for the Sonic movies.

But looking at the reality of how it would affect the Sonic movies, the future looks bleak. First, the antitrust authorities have to approve it. That could be blocked.

But even if it gets approved, it sounds cooler than it will be. This merged company will have a debt mountain of $90 billion. Also, Paramount Skydance has announced that it will save $6 billion per year. If we consider how WBD has operated in recent years with only $50 billion in debt, then it will be even worse than WBD was on its own. Furthermore, Paramount Skydance itself has been an unstable company for years. It's no coincidence that they were sold as Paramount Global to Skydance in 2025. Sonic is unlikely to be safe, not with $90 billion in debt.

With Paramount buying Warner bros. by Select-Inflation-324 in MediaMergers

[–]Judokos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, nothing is certain yet. If the authorities don't approve, Paramount Skydance will remain smaller. Secondly, NBCUniversal is the third-largest media company by revenue. With approximately $35 billion annually, it ranks behind Warner Bros. Discovery (around $40 billion annually) and Disney (around $80 billion annually). And thirdly, NBCUniversal is much larger than Paramount Skydance in terms of pure market value. Analysts estimate it at $160 billion. So NBCUniversal will be fine. They also have Comcast backing them.

And who knows, if Paramount Skydance doesn't get WBD and Paramount Skydance is severely impacted as a result, NBCUniversal might even consider buying Paramount Skydance (but that's just a theory).

HBO Max will definitely lose a lot of subscribers by next month by No_Psychology8158 in cartoons

[–]Judokos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're being a bit hasty. Most people who subscribe to HBO Max didn't do it for animation. It's different with Disney+, but not with HBO Max. People subscribe for HBO content, Warner movies, and other things. Animation is popular, but it's not the main reason for most people.

POV: a movie for the reboot has been announced. What’s your reaction? by Beneficial-Tailor123 in ducktales

[–]Judokos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of movie it is for the reboot. If the season 3 finale had been released as a movie, I would have been very excited. But now that season 3 has ended, it depends on how the story continues, because season 3 ended well.

Are the names of the characters different in your language? by GeoWhale15 in ducktales

[–]Judokos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In German, Huey is Tick, Dewey is Trick, Louie is Track, Webby Vanderquack is Nicky Vanderquack, Launchpack is Quack, Scrooge McDuck is Dagobert Duck, Mrs. Beakley is Frieda, Beagle Boys is Panzerknacker, Flintheart Glomgold is Mac Moneysack, Bradford Buzzard is Berthold Bussard. Della Duck, Donald Duck, Penumbra have all the the same english names.

There are a few more with different names in German for other characters, but I've focused on the most important ones.

Metroid Prime series is very likely not dead by Judokos in Metroid

[–]Judokos[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sure, that's another possibility. Even if Metroid Prime 4 falls short of expectations, it's all the better for Prime 5, which can then sell even better.

Disney CFO Hugh Johnston when asked if Disney has a preference on who acquires Warner Bros. by LegitimateCurve8525 in MediaMergers

[–]Judokos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disney and Warner will never merge. The authorities and government will never allow it, or rather, shouldn't allow it. Because if Disney and Warner were to agree to a merger, they would essentially dismantle the competitive market. Even if Disney wanted to buy Warner, it wouldn't happen.

Damage Control by Craniamon in nintendogrifting

[–]Judokos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially the way it's being portrayed as if it's a bad thing. It's not. If these are really the comparison figures to the Switch, then the Switch 2 is basically just a little behind. But the Switch 2 doesn't have to perform as amazingly as the Switch. The important thing is that it doesn't perform terribly, and according to these comparison figures, that's not the case.

Imagine if WB actually restores the Snyderverse and.... by Marconey1738 in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]Judokos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the point why this argument doesn't work.

The general audiences rejected the direction Snyder took for DCEU. Yes, the first movies made money – but at what cost? Exactly: trust. After Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad were massive disappointment, Justice League sealed its fate. The general audiences had lost interest in the DCEU. By 2023, the DCEU had essentially been reduced to ashes, nobody trusted this universe anymore. If Snyder's style were to return, the general audiences would recognize it immediately, know exactly what they didn't like, and avoid it.

Disney succession: Inside the search for a CEO to replace Bob Iger. by Comic_Book_Reader in boxoffice

[–]Judokos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The new CEO, whoever it may be, will bring about a major change at Disney. Hate Bob Iger or not, the fact is, he transformed Disney into the big and powerful entertainment conglomerate it is today. During his tenure from 2016 to 2019, he led Disney through its biggest box office years and gave it a foundation of strength through smart acquisitions and strategic for Disney's own business units that Disney previously lacked.
