Kids these days wanna see them, parents want them to shut up already
It is wild to me how well they have done at the box office. They just kept getting worse and people have only recently stopped going to see them. I wonder if hese do poorly after release, but are big events in the short term.

A huge amount of people go to see Disney stuff in theatres because they feel like they’re supposed to. Disney has done a great job creating a sense of their stuff being a mandatory experience to keep up with pop culture

They have had lots of misfires though. Has anyone even heard of strange world? Even going back to the original lion king, they used to release lots of straight to video sequels. Cheap to make, high margin.
As you say, they have monopolised children’s entertainment very successfully. Even with inside out 2, they have taken the character and made them older so the original target audience of viewers can follow the arc personally.
