Okay I didn't planed to write this because I was supposed to be start writing
the main thing in two days. I don't even have a drawling for this post. But I decided to talk briefly about Disney's "Tomorrowland", it's failure, and the upcoming originals in general.
Okay "Tomorrowland" is an original intellectual property not just for The Walt Disney Company but also the entertainment movie industry as well. I'm saying this because currently the movie industry is mostly flooded with franchise squeals and remakes but I want to give my attention on this movie. Walt Disney Pictures, as well as Hollywood experts, were hoping for about $40 million or $50 million dollars at the box office. Sure, George Clooney and animation veteran Brad Bird, who also directed another live-action hit Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, was a perfect match for the film's hopeful successes.
But given it's a science-Fiction movie that is generally hard to sell, the movie slightly fell below expectations. Moreover, this film might have divided the critics and, possibly, the audience (I haven't dig around the articles that much so all I read was that the movie gets a "so-so B CinemaPoll score according to The Hollywood Reporter)
