Misread that as Kite Runner and was really confused by Disney’s new direction.

New from Disney: ANOTHER REBOOT INSTEAD OF ORIGINAL CONTENT!!

It’s all they do. It’s basically free money.

This strategy has its losses too. The Marvels (-$237m), Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (-$143m), and Haunted Mansion (-$117m) all lost them money last year.

Is that real losses or. Hollywood losses lol

hardaysknight, 20 days ago

Yeah those were definitely Hollywood losses

Fair call, combined they report $1.2b in expenses so I’m sure a fair bit got soaked up by Disney subsidiaries and partners.

Nobody even asked for the first one.

Actually, I sorta did. In 2002 I asked "anybody to produce anything.

So whenever someone says “No one asked for that”, I kinda did

Seems like a way to avoid paying the original crew residuals and/or royalties

There shouldn’t be any residuals.

If there is someone out there still consuming this media in a way that generates revenue for the studio giving them reason to believe there is a market for even more Maze Runner content, they should be charged with crimes against humanity.

The new film would not be a sequel or a remake, but a “continuation,” with presumably new characters trying to escape from the walled complex known as the Glade.

If its based on the Maze Runner world but not actually a story from one of the books they probably pay the author a bit less too.

Kelly, 20 days ago

This feels unnecessary.

Has the final movie even come out yet? I remember watching the first and second but I thought there was supposed to be a third still on the way?

Feels way too soon for a remake.
