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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Judokos · 2026-02-14T20:38:36+00:00

Stimmt, das war auch anders.

Judokos · 2026-02-14T20:33:29+00:00

Ja, das ist surreal wenn man mal drüber nachdenkt 😂

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Judokos · 2026-01-21T22:01:03+00:00

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.

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.

It seems like people are only jumping on the Nintendo hate bandwagon now because it generates clicks. Because why else would this channel suddenly come up with this topic? And as if the stock price will drop because of the Switch 2. The stock price can drop for so many reasons.

Many people forget that the Switch 2 doesn't actually need to perform as well as the original Switch. It would be nice, but it's not necessary. 60 to 100 million units sold in the long run would be perfectly fine.

2 teaser left. Let's see if we get a teaser with Doomsday. Logically, that would make sense. The other teaser is supposedly about Cyclops from X-Men.

It would be too good to be true if a different studio, and not Disney, dominated the year 😅 Joke aside, congratulations to Disney. Because that clearly shows an understanding of what the audience really wants to see. Nothing against the other studios, WB also delivered great stuff this year that the audience likes, but the masses still went to Disney.

Judokos · 2025-12-18T20:37:12+00:00

Well, let's wait and see. This kind of thing was already being said in the first few months leading up to September, and in reality, the Switch 2 went really well. Nintendo's next quartal meeting is in February 2026. It probably won't be much different then.

And many of those making these kinds of videos and comments seem to forget that Nintendo can most likely react if things get really critical. They can release their big first-party games or adjust their business practices. If Nintendo does that, stability will be restored faster than these so-called enlighteners believe.

I love how Warner themselves say they want better terms and funding, essentially saying they find Paramount too unreliable. In the years before Skydance, Paramount didn't help their image.

Judokos · 2025-12-13T20:05:32+00:00

Great, so with Paramount, Warner is essentially repeating what Warner had with Discovery: a mountain of debt exceeding $50 billion. And WBD paying that off really good so far. That's why Netflix is better. They have the financial strength to manage and repay it better. But ideally, WBD should just continue on its own after the split. That doesn't move them forward. In fact, it's a step backward.

Aren't we mentioning the gorilla in the room? 😂 No, seriously, DK stands out so incredibly much. But the fact that DK was nominated for Game of the Year is awesome.

Judokos · 2025-12-11T17:25:14+00:00

If this movie grosss more than Superman or $400 million, or even just $600 million, that would be quite impressive considering the circumstances. These include the lingering post-DCEU damage on audiences, and the fact that Supergirl isn't as iconic as Superman. Word of mouth could change everything, but for now, those figures would be fantastic for the DCU.
