Another angle that will make Scruffy giggle:

This is the most expensive Star Wars movie made to date even factoring in inflation.

It is estimated to have edged out TFA’s budget due to reshoots. Final costs: around 250 million.

That does make Scruffy giggle.

On top of that, the marketing for this movie likely pushed it far over $300 million.

Then consider that no one will be purchasing the merchandise.

Deadpool or Solo. It doesn’t matter Disney is getting that money either way.

Unfortunately, Deadpool is also having a rough weekend at the BO. Dropping anywhere from 65%-70%.

It's not a guarantee yet that Disney will take over. Comcast is making things interesting.

Dude, Den of Geek has a great article called Deadpool will remain rated R under Disney ownership.

How does Disney not own Deadpool?

Because they haven’t been bought yet and Comcast seems to be making a bid.

Ok well my bad. I thought they merged with Fox 2 years ago and outright bought Marvel. I accept my error.

They bought Marvel Studios.

But before that was a thing, Marvel sold off movie rights to various IPs

Disney already gets a cut of all ticket and DVD sales from Deadpool, and they control the merchandising for the character. They don't need to take over anything.

Thanks I knew they were making a profit off of Deadpool somehow.

Yep, and they don't need to lift a finger to do it. I'm sure they'd rather take over to increase their profits from the character, but right now it's almost free money.

My biggest feeling about a Solo movie is indifference. That would have been unthinkable to me as a child but both I and the people making the movies have changed.

Upon reflection, I think I just don't want to see this movie because I'm afraid it will be bad and probably even crap on the mythos of a character I used to love.

Is everyone looking forward to Disney buying Deadpool and making stand alone Dopinder & Weasel origin movies?

I can’t wait for the Buck (Fat Gandalf) stand-alone. Should be good.

I refuse to go see this new piece of shite in theaters. Encourages them to keep pushing them out.
