‘Moana 2’ Sparks Copyright Lawsuit as Animator Revives Idea Theft Claims
Woodall seeks damages equivalent to 2.5 percent of Moana‘s gross revenue, or alternatively at least $10 billion, as well as a court order barring further infringement of his copyrights.

Moana 2 $990,287,015 Worldwide Box Office (2.5% of a $1 billion is $25 million. Woodall wants the larger of 2.5% or $10 billion. He is out of his mind but that is pretty common in Hollywood.)

So....
They're seeking either $24,757,175.38 or $10 Billion?
Think we spotted another Democrat.
Good luck to them anyhow, because Fuck Disney.

maybe 2025 could be worse again

I wonder how the fires are going to ripple down. That might not be felt until next year.
I haven't looked. Do you see any big movies coming out in 2025 that you think would make over $1 Billion?
Maybe that's a game we could play with very little commitment.
Guess which movies, if any, hit $1 Billion in 2025.

Wow...
Have you looked at the 2025 release schedule on the-numbers yet?
https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/release-schedule
Go beyond April and it starts looking really sparse.
I've been watching this stuff long enough to know that ain't normal.
Not only does the volume of movies released per week drop sharply very early into the year, but among the ones up there I see quite a lot of uncertainty too. I'm seeing things like "Untitled Marvel film", "Untitled Warner Bros. film", even "Untitled Crunchyroll" and "Untitled Angels Studios".
I'm used to seeing just a handful of these for the entire year. They're all over the place here now.
Maybe I'm just paying attention earlier than I usually do is all.
I don't know about that though... They don't look at these things on a yearly basis like we do, and they're always thinking quarterly, which also lends to having a ton of movies on the slate for the shareholders to look forward to. (Think of the near-infinite maps that Disney planned out for Marvel releases before everyone finally decided they were bored with super heroes).
The fact that it's only January 16th of this year shouldn't have anything to do with how many movies are on the slate for 2025.
Will have to look at it again in February and see if it looks any better by then.

Well I finally got down to the bottom of that list and things look a little better...
They've got a "During 2025" section right after the December entries, and there looks to be about 40 movies on there with titles, but apparently no confirmed release date yet.
Maybe it does just take a while for Bruce to fill that list out after the new year. It's possible he hears a lot of dates and could put the work into filling a bunch of them out already, but he knows how often things get shuffled around and it wouldn't be worth the work to continually update these if a couple dozen of them were still changing their release dates all around every week this early in the year.

$33 Million more and it displaces YOLO and knocks China completely off the 2024 Top 10.
Sonic was the one remaining movie I thought might be able to do that, though I didn't really think it had a chance.
Still don't know though... This one might run out of steam right at the end like Venom 3 did.

Quentin Tarantino asks himself why see a movie at the theater when it is on TV? | Jan 27, 2025
“That’s a big fucking deal pulling [a play] off, and I don’t know if I can. So here we go. That’s a challenge, a genuine challenge, but making movies? Well, what the fuck is a movie now? What — something that plays in theaters for a token release for four fucking weeks? All right, and by the second week you can watch it on television. I didn’t get into all this for diminishing returns. I mean, it was bad enough in ’97. It was bad enough in 2019, and that was the last fucking year of movies. That was a shit deal, as far as I was concerned, the fact that it’s gotten drastically worse? And that it’s just it’s a show pony exercise. Now the theatrical release, you know, and then like yeah, in two weeks, you can watch it on this [streamer] and that one. Okay. Theater? You can’t do that. It’s the final frontier.”
