Enforce the copyright laws instead of allowing obvious bribery to extend them far beyond what was ever intended. Then the whole thing crumbles because the company itself does nothing of worth, it just owns the licenses on a bunch of ideas.

Between those three properties and shit like Pirates of the Caribbean we've got to be nearing a tipping point where a single studio collects the majority of global box office

I agree that the copyright situation's gotten ridiculous, but actually another reason for forcing them to relinquish copyrights would be that the company would do fine. They have plenty of material from the 80s - 10s to get by with. It's not like they'd collapse if they lose all their stuff from before ~1940. Most Disney princesses at parks are Renaissance era princesses. Tinkerbell's an exception (thank Jesus for that costume). Preteen girls care more about Belle/Ariel than Snow White/Sleeping Beauty.

Universal's made more than Disney this year so far
then again Disney's got Star Wars coming

The tipping point happened ~40 years ago (tl;dr Disney World has unusual legal/political autonomy):
>Disney World has made a lot of money, but it’s not clear whether Florida has received a fair share. A lot of this has to do with unique and highly irregular tax arrangements Disney was able to arrange (or demand, to use the term Walt’s brother Roy accidentally let slip at that first press conference). These have only increased over the years. Today there’s even a sort of “Disney visa,” negotiated between the corporation and the U.S. government, in order to make it possible for Disney to fill its foreign-accent needs at Epcot. [cont.]

>Where it got interesting was that, in order to gain these extraordinary powers, Disney had to deceive the government of Florida at the same time the two were colluding in all sorts of other ways. It gets very complex and legalistic but comes down to this: Disney pitched Disney World to Florida not as a resort but as a real city. You’ve heard of Epcot (the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow). If you’re a Disney freak, you may know that it was originally supposed to possess more of a utopian-futuristic vibe, not be just primarily an around-the-world-in-a-day-type tour, as it became. Fewer people are aware, however, that Epcot was supposed to be a working utopia, a “living blueprint,” as Disney vividly calls it in that film, during which he stands before wall-size diagrams of geometric urban plans, pictures that could have come from the 21st century or the French Revolution. Twenty thousand people would live there, in this bubble-domed community, “completely enclosed . . . climate controlled . . . shoppers and theatergoers . . . protected day and night from rain, heat and cold, and humidity . . . the pedestrian will be king . . . only electric-powered vehicles will travel above the streets.” Disney would solicit the major industrial giants to design and test bold new technologies for Epcot, “finding solutions to the problems of our cities.” [cont.]

>The reality, as Foglesong shows, is that Disney never really meant for people to live permanently at Epcot. In the Disney archives, Foglesong turned up a memo, the Helliwell memo, drafted by one of Disney’s lawyers and annotated in the margins by Walt himself, and it makes this point quite plain. Disney crossed out every mention of “permanent residents.” The denizens of Epcot would be passing through, longer-term tourists, staying for a few months at the longest. How could Disney have it otherwise? If your town has residents, then those people are citizens of some local government of the United States — yours. They can vote. They can vote against you. That hardly made sense as part of a corporate development strategy. But without municipality status, Disney wouldn’t be able to secure the legislative fief it ended up getting, with ludicrous tax advantages, unprecedented oversight of land and water usage, of building codes, etc. For that you needed inhabitants. So Disney fibbed and said he wanted them. Foglesong’s point is that these maneuvers leave Disney World in an ambiguous category of legitimacy. It receives the breaks that an autonomous political settlement would have enjoyed (and then some), but it never has had any settlers. Strictly speaking Disney World shouldn’t exist.

Domestically sure. But World Wide I'm putting my money on VIII being what sails past Harry Potter (have no idea how Rogue One will do).
>>62735994
They'll probably co-exist.
>>62736299
The most devastating thing about this is both franchises are not only highly adaptable to other genres but also extremely rich lore with tones of characters you can tell stories about.
Disney has the industry by the balls.
>>62736299
Anything with the name Star Wars in front of it will make a decent profit. Quality doesn't really matter considering how well The Phantom Menace did.
>>62736022
It still doesn't make any sense.

Universal also had a dismal 2014. And will have a dismal 2016.
Similar to WB having an atrocious 2015.
When copyright is made 21 years or 10 years after the authors death whichever is longer, again.
So never.
