No movie from any studio besides Disney and Marvel (even Spider-Man is Marvel, not Sony), didn’t do as expected. Toy Story 4, Lion King, Alladin, Endgame and Spiderman have dominated multiplexes this year. Movies like Godzilla, Detective Pikachu and the Secret Life of Pets 2 didn’t do as well as they were supposed to. Disney has a monopoly on multiplexes and it really isn’t good for competition or the movie industry. All Disney had to do is throw a movie out and people will see it, regardless if it is good or not. Disney is turning into a monopoly now and it should worry people.
Hopefully this will change in the coming years, but with the Avatar sequels, more Marvel movies, live action remakes and Star Wars movies, I highly doubt it.
