Disney plans to milk 'Frozen' success "Frozen" is turning out to be one of Disney's biggest money-making juggernauts. It is already the highest grossing animated movie of all time, raking in $1.19 billion in global box office sales since its Thanksgiving release. It's on track to be the fifth highest grossing movie of all time, and is already Disney's (DIS, Fortune 500) biggest selling digital and Blu-ray release. "This is definitely up there in terms of our top, probably, five franchises," said Disney CEO Bob Iger in a conference call last week after Disney reported a 27% surge in profits. "So you can expect us to take full advantage of that over the next at least five years." Related: Other top Disney franchises In dollars and cents, FBR Capital Markets says Disney's biggest franchises work out like this: Mickey Mouse is still No. 1, bringing in $4 billion in sales a year. The Disney Princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Tiana, etc.) bring in another $4 billion. The "Cars" and "Winnie the Pooh" franchises each bring in $2 billion a year. The "Toy Story" franchise brings in $1 billion a year. "Frozen" is expected to bring in $500 million to $1 billion in the next year, according to FBR. To top it off, "Frozen" also scored big awards, including Walt Disney Animation Studio's first Oscar for best animated feature. The movie's anthem, "Let it Go", won the Oscar for best song. It's no wonder, Disney plans to milk every last "frozen" drop of the movie. Its next stop: Broadway, where Disney plans to have the show join other powerhouses like "The Lion King" and "Aladdin." "Frozen's" sisters, Elsa and Anna, will soon start appearing in Disney's theme parks and Disney's CEO hinted that story books, videos and Interactive games are also in the works. "I think this is going to be ... well beyond what we ever even imagined," Iger said. Already, Elsa dresses have been selling out and people were bidding as high as $1,000 on EBay. "The magic of the movies comes in big swings. Disney hit a grand slam with this one," said Barton Crockett who covers Disney for FBR. And this is just the beginning. Crockett said we should expect a "Frozen" sequel in 2018. Qui lo stesso articolo è sintetizzato da Steve Hulett di TAG Blog, ma notate il titolo (e l'ironica frase finale che è in linea con il titolo): Declaration of the Obvious From Money: ...

Sequelitis The financial press, it thinks Frozen 2 is a dead-bang certainty. (Why would anybody come to that conclusion?). The hit movie "Frozen" has yet to receive an official sequel order. Disney (NYSE:DIS) signed a new licensing deal this week that will extend the power and revenue of the franchise and could be major foreshadowing step to an extension of the franchise. Hasbro gained the rights to make dolls based on the "Frozen" movie beginning in the year 2016. Prior to this deal, Mattel had the rights and is the obvious loser here. The deal comes less than a week after highlighting Jakks Pacific as a winner this holiday season with its highly anticipated Snow Glow Elsa doll and Olaf Sno Cone Maker. Investors sold off Jakks on the Hasbro news, but Jakks does not lose anything in the deal. Not to take away from the deal or cause speculation, I have to believe that this is foreshadowing for an official sequel notice coming soon. ... No conglomerate worth its buy-backs creates a hugely profitable product and then walks away from it. Not in 2014. Did Fox-News Corp. walk away from Ice Age? Did Pixar walk away from Toy Story? Did DreamWorks ANimation abandon Shrek? Sure, Walt Disney never followed up with a sequel to Snow White, but 1937, that was a different freaking universe. Studios weren't geared toward sequels. They were geared to "Let's make another Clark Gable/James Cagney/Tyrone Power movie very much like the last Clark Gable/James Cagney/Tyrone Power movie." Sequels just didn't enter into the equation. But they do now. We're living in the first half of the twenty-first century. Not the first half of the twentieth. |
