Originally Posted By DDMAN26 It's worth noting that after Monsters University, Dory is the only upcoming sequel. I mentioned they have Inside Out and the Good Dinosaur. They also have the Dia De Los Muertes film and two other films being developed. It's also worth noting that in 2015, Disney could have the best year at the box office of any studio. Dory, Avengers 2 and Episode 7. That's three films that could reach 400 million domestic and 1 billion worldwide.

I guess it will not be as successful as the last four films, but I'm sure it will make a lot of money.

I'm also not sure about Episode VII being released in 2015. I wouldn't be surprised if that movie would get delayed as well.

He hasn't shown any interest in the company's long-term future, so why would he leave a potential blockbuster on the slate after he's gone. That said, I don't expect Pirates 5 to do very well. A lot of people were turned off of the series after the 3rd one. Personally, I thought it was pretty good (especially if you view 2 & 3 as a combined film), but the 4th one was absolutely dreadful. Even for a big POTC fan, and a big Disney fan like me, I have serious doubts if I'll even see it in theaters. I suspect that the average movie-goer cares far less.

Many people said that POTC 4 will not be successful and it was a big one, that's why I think part 5 will do fine as well. Even if it will not make the same amount of money like the recent movies, I'm sure it will earn enough. >>>Makes sense that they would want 2015 to be a big year, as it's Iger's last year with the company.

Wasn't there a rumour recently about Iger not leaving in 2015, because of Shanghai and Lucasfilm?
Originally Posted By DDMAN26 People say Pixar is going sequel happy but it's going to be 12 years between Nemo and Dory. 12 years between Monsters Inc and Monsters University. Toy Story 3 was 11 years between Toy Story 2. Only Cars 2, six years after Cars and Toy Story 2 4 years after Toy Story had a shorter time. And considering the average amount of time between sequels is about 2 to 3 years Pixar isn't exactly pumping these out

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I wish they'd make a sequel to Incredibles. That movie was so great. Sequels, done well, are no big deal to me. I'm usally so attached to the characters, it's nice getting to see them in action again. Of course Cars and Cars 2 is the exception for me.
Originally Posted By seafairy1622 I loved Nemo and it is my daughter and grandson's favorite. So I am looking forward to seeing Finding Dory. I agree Toy story 2 and 3 were good. POTC 4 didn't like much. It wasn't the same without Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I've never been able to tell the difference between any of the POTC movies. But I still enjoy them all. I think it has something to do with the leading hunk.
