BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I think they are hyping this movie too much too soon. It's not even coming out for 3 more months. And, they apparently expect people to go nuts and buy up all of this new merchandise in the first week of September? I think someone is way overestimating how much demand there is for this stuff. Possibly. I think they may be banking on the fact that Star Wars fans were largely really disappointed by the last 3 movies, and that they're going to go completely bonkers this time around with the promise of something better. When they released the trailer with Han and Chewie at the end, the reaction seemed to be the internet version of a small star exploding. Then there's the part where you decide to build the hype to a massive degree and sell "all the stuff" BEFORE the movie... just in case. Uh. That really didn't do anything for me. Boring. TCD Not much to it, but I expect there will be lots more of these little tidbits released in the next few months. Link to post Share on other sites

It is the only makeup she is currently allowed to wear. I told her to add it to her birthday list. Someone was very happy to open her birthday presents today. She got a nude colored lipstick and mascara. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 From WDW News Today... 20 Jan BREAKING: “Star Wars: Episode VIII” Pushed Back, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” Moves Up Breaking news out of the Walt Disney Studios:This morning, The Walt Disney Studios announced new release dates for upcoming films from two of its major franchises. Star Wars: Episode VIII, originally scheduled for release on May 26, 2017, will now debut on December 15, 2017. The move follows the extraordinary success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was the first Star Wars movie to premiere in December. In the popular holiday moviegoing corridor, it smashed numerous records, including biggest domestic and global debuts of all time as well as the biggest domestic second and third weekends, en route to becoming the highest grossing domestic release of all time with over $861M and the third biggest global release ever with $1.887B. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Star Wars: Episode VIII is currently in pre–production and will begin principal photography in London next month. Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman will produce and J.J. Abrams, Tom Karnowski, and Jason McGatlinwill executive produce. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for exciting updates in the coming weeks. With Star Wars: Episode VIII jumping to December, Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will set sail on May 26, 2017, from its previously scheduled July 7, 2017, berth. The blockbuster franchise’s previous installment, the $1B-grossingPirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, also debuted in late May. In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Johnny Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow with Geoffrey Rush back on board as Barbossa, Orlando Bloom resurfacing as Will Turner, and a terrifying new adversary, Captain Salazar, played by Javier Bardem, in the mix. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, the film is currently in post-production. http://wdwnt.com/blog/2016/01/breaking-star-wars-episode-vii-pushed-back-pirates-of-the-caribbean-dead-men-tell-no-tales-moves-up/ Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Not cool. I don't like this one bit. TCDI had read somewhere that they were making some major script changes to include more Rey, Finn, Poe , and Kylo This is all rumor for now, but it does make a good deal of sense. The Force Awakens spent a great deal of time establishing a new core group for the franchise in Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, and Kylo Ren, so many fans would probably want Episode VIII to feature more of them and not shortchanged for more fresh faces. In addition to continuing the stories of the young characters, Episode VIII will also have a meatier role for Luke Skywalker, possibly reveal more about Supreme Leader Snoke, and have appearances by some other original trilogy heroes. The roster of characters is quite full, even before the new additions are added. Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 This is all BS. From what I know, Disney never confirmed the May 2017 date for ep 8. I think everyone speculated that a Star Wars movie was always to be released in May but they had to push things back for the force awakens. I was stupidly falling for the May 16th date then low and behold when I heard this today it hit me. Why wouldn't they go for another right before Christmas release. Force Friday was a HUGE hit back last November when they released toys for the force awakens. Why not do this again and make a butt load of money right before Christmas. Also Rouge one comes out this December and I couldn't see them releasing another Star Wars movie so close to each other. That would really mess up the marketing and merchandising of each film Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 This is all BS. From what I know, Disney never confirmed the May 2017 date for ep 8. According to the article linked in the first post, above, Bob Iger himself announced the May, 2017 date at a Disney Shareholders meeting last March. That seems pretty official to me. I agree with the rest of your post, though- Disney revised the date after they saw how well Episode VII did, and they are licking their chops to cash in again, perhaps on an even larger scale, with Episode VIII.
