X-Men: Days of Future Past

[The Phantom]

Not really all that Crappy. Fox gets the box office proceedes and money from the DVD sales. and they get to keep the film liscense for pretty much forever. they NEVER expire so long as tehy keep making movies. Marvel gets 100% of the merchandising rights. that was the deal, and back when marvel bought those rights, they Agreed to it. the whole point was to use this to get marvel out of bankruptcy in the 90's.

Seriously? Come on. This again?

One more time: DISNEY DOES NOT OWN THE MERCHANDISING RIGHTS TO THE XMEN FILMS.

I don't know where you heard that or read it. However you came across the information, it's wrong.

You are right about the rights staying at Fox as long as they keep making movies though, but not about the merchandise.

Think about what you're saying. What studio would even make a deal like that? Especially back in the 90's when EVERY movie had merchandise. Hell, even Kevin Costner's Robin Hood got figures made.

And why?

Batman '89. BM89 made 400 million at the box office yes, but made 750 million in merchandise. So do you think Fox or any other studio would give up the merchandising rights? No, they wouldn't and they didn't (and still wouldn't).

You're confusing the deal Disney has with Sony.

So one more time again: DISNEY OWNS THE MERCHANDISING RIGHTS TO THE SPIDER-MAN FILMS.

Those rights reverted back to Disney in 2011. Disney got to take control over the merchandising rights, and in return gave up their cut from the films.

That's it. That's all there was to it. Fox NEVER made that deal, and if they did, it would have been AFTER the merger, so it would have been reported somewhere, and if it is, tell me where to find it.

Just so you know, I'm not trying to be a jerk to you. It's just that this, "information" or BS or what ever you want to call it has been talked about in THREE different threads now, and it all comes down to some people (or one) that are upset that they're not getting XMen toys, and evidently think that by making up ,"facts", or trashing Disney, that's somehow going to make their dream a reality.

Let me ask you this: if Disney owns the film merchandising rights to Spider-Man AND the XMen, why is Disney only licensing Spidey? Disney isn't, "making" any of the merchandise, they're cashing checks from people that ARE making it. So if Disney's SO GREEDY, why would they turn down money for not doing anything, for any reason?

The answer is, they wouldn't. If Disney had the rights, you would see a ton of XMen crap.

So please, enough of this already. Disney isn't crying about not having the film rights to Spidey, XMen or the Fantastic Four. On the contrary, by Fox and Sony having the rights to those charactors, they're SAVING Disney about 900 million dollars in production and marketing costs for movies that they're not interested in making at this time anyway.

I mean, what's next? Are people going to start saying the reason AMS2 and DoFP didn't make a billion at the box office is because Disney is somehow, "manipulating" the results?

You know what? Forget I said that, I don't want to give anyone ideas.

Ok, I have set up a thread for favorite Movie Poster art in the General Collectibles - Statues, Props, etc section -

... ...

I click on this thread and this is the first thing I see

I’d pay top dollar for that poster.

 

[Rorywan]

Posters:

1. ESB
2. Raiders
3. Jaws

Yup! Those would be my top 3 as well, I would add ....

 

[karamazov80]

Which one?

That Widow one probably takes the cake. I'm referring to the Steranko-esque posters.

 

[Rorywan]

..ahh, the expectations... then the disappointment.

 

[jye4ever]

She really looked like her though.

 

[karamazov80]

..ahh, the expectations... then the disappointment.

Ah, the curse of videogame movies.

That pose(ter) is so ****ing ridiculous.

Back when she was healthy!

Now she's a twig.

It's a reference to classic comics. It's supposed to be abstractly stylized and dramatic. I'm a bit confused as to how this is ridiculous and the DOFP one isn't, though. It isn't like the latter isn't also an artistic representation of the characters from that film.

I love my digibooks. This is so bought

Nice!

Going this Friday to watch it one more time. After that I'll have to wait for Blu-ray.

I stand corrected. But there is something to it.

Oh I thought you might be referring to the Paolo Rivera 1970's Bond-style poster. That's an instant favorite of mine. I curse Marvel for not releasing it as a full size one-sheet.

 

[karamazov80]

Isn't that the one that was only given to cast and crew? I don't consider that much different than the Mondo stuff, since it wasn't used as an actual film promotional poster. But yeah, it's nice.

 

[Khev]

Yeah it's basically a glorified Mondo print. Awesome though.

 

[batfan08]

I loved his TFA poster, as well, with Cap punching Hitler in the face with that classic "painted propaganda" style to it.

 

[batfan08]

Even if it wasn't a great film (though it was solid/very good), I still think those posters for The Wolverine were some of the best marketing material of the past 5 years or, maybe, even, decade. It was such a breath of fresh air from all of the PSed garbage we see on a day to day basis.

Yeah, that first article you linked was from 10 days ago, and was what started all of this nonsense.

I don't know if you're aware or not, but there's two other threads on the subject. One in the comic section, and one in the Marvel action figure section. They were both started by the same person so you can't miss them, and they both touch on more of what's what in real time.

This thread is for discussing the film itself, and I'd like to respect that.
