Cruella de Vil was kinda scary.

Never saw this flick.

I’ll tell you, my mother didn’t like Walt Disney because she thought he scared children. But she did love Disneyland when she went there. So I said, wow, that place must be great!

“Toy Story 4 was about selfishness and how it undermines loyalty and becomes betrayal.

Sure, it is. The movie made $179 million in 7 days and another $53 million will add up to $232 million in 10 days not counting foreign which adds another $200 million or so to its count.

After only 7 days, TS4 is 7% ahead of TS3 and it is already the 4th highest grossing movie of the year and 11th worldwide. TS4 should gross a hefty $350 million in the US and $600 to $700 million worldwide. Not every movie can make a billion dollars. Of course, those numbers do not include ancillary revenue, such as, pay cable viewing, streaming for a fee or home sales both digital and DVD. In other words, Toy Story 4 will be wildly profitable for Disney. I'm not even including how much Netflix will pay Disney to stream the movie at its website. Yes, I know Disney is starting its own streaming service but for the moment, its movies go to Netflix after pay cable and home sales and I'm sure the cost to Netflix is not cheap.

Also, in case you are interested, the new Spiderman movie is projected to make $100 million in China in its first 3 days this weekend before hitting the US on July 4.
