Disney's 'Dumbo' hits theaters March 29. It is the first of four live-action remakes of Disney animated classics coming to the big screen this year and more than dozen already in the works.
"Don't just fly. Soar," Timothy Q. Mouse tells an apprehensive Dumbo in Disney's 1941's animated classic of the same name.
"Dumbo" is one of four live-action remakes coming to the big screen from Disney this year. The film is part of a new chapter for Disney, which appears to be bolstering its arsenal of films ahead of the launch of its online streaming service Disney+. Vandevere recruits Dumbo to be part of his entertainment venture Dreamland alongside aerialist Colette Marchant . The cast soon discovers that Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
Comparatively"Lego 2" hauled in $171 million globally, less than half of what the original earned, and"Wonder Park," which was released last week only brought in $21 million globally. In some cases, Disney has even turned the narrative on its head, as was the case with 2014's"Maleficent." "I have a theory, and it may or may not be right, but I think [Disney] is loading up the schedule this year to — and this is pure speculation — in anticipation of the launch of the Disney streaming channel so that they will have a significant source of product when they are coming into it next year," Doug Stone, president of Box Office Analyst, said in an interview."That may be the reason behind it. It seems to make the most sense.
