Disney to reboot ‘Home Alone’ and ‘Night at the Museum’
    2019-08-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

DISNEY is to reboot the “Home Alone,” “Night at the Museum,” “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Cheaper by the Dozen” franchises, the studio has confirmed.

As part of the reset of the Fox studio, which it acquired earlier this year, the reboots will be made for its new streaming platform, Disney+, but it’s not known yet what format they will take or whether they could be new movies or TV series.

Disney boss Bob Iger told shareholders during the announcement of its third quarter earnings that the franchises would be “reimagined for a new generation.”

However, it was not all good news. Despite massive grosses from movies like “Avengers: Endgame,” “The Lion King,” “Captain Marvel,” “Toy Story 4” and “Aladdin,” and likely its highest earning year ever being on the cards, the studio’s share price dropped by 4 percent Tuesday, as its earnings fell short of expectations on Wall Street.

Fox suffered an operating loss of a massive US$170 million, which is down to the huge failure of “Dark Phoenix,” the latest “X-Men” movie. It cost US$200 million to make, and ended up making just US$252 million back, which when marketing and advertising costs had been added, accounts for the shortfall.

Soon, things will likely start looking up. Three potential popular movies are yet to come: “Maleficent 2,” “Frozen 2” and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”(SD-Agencies)
