  • Marvel Studios signs 20-year deal with Stan Lee Universe

    Marvel Studios signs 20-year deal with Stan Lee Universe

    MUMBAI:Marvel Studios has signed a 20-year deal with Stan Lee Universe to license the name and likeness of Lee for use in future feature films and television productions, as well as Disney theme parks, various experiences and merchandising.

    Stan Lee Universe is a venture between Genius Brands International and POW! Entertainment. Lee is one of the most prolific and legendary comic creators of all time. As Marvel’s editor-in-chief, Lee helped build a universe of interlocking continuity, one where fans felt as if they could turn a street corner and run into a superhero from Spider-Man to the Fantastic Four, Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, and more. Lee went on to become Marvel’s editorial director and publisher in 1972, and was eventually named chairman emeritus.

    “We are proud to be the stewards of the incredibly valuable rights to Stan Lee’s name, likeness, merchandise, and intellectual property brand. And, there is no better place than Marvel and Disney where Stan should be for his movies and theme park experiences. As we enter the centennial year of Stan’s birthday, 28 December, 2022, we are thrilled to see his memory and legacy will continue to delight fans through this new long-term agreement with Marvel” said Genius Brands chairman CEO Andy Heyward.

    Under the terms of the deal, Marvel Studios has acquired rights to use Stan Lee’s name, voice, likeness and signature in movies and television projects, as well as use images, existing footage and existing audio recordings featuring Stan. Exclusive rights to use Stan Lee’s name, voice, likeness and signature in theme parks, water parks, cruise lines and in-park merchandise were included for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products as part of the deal.

    “As Stan’s longtime business partner and friend, I’m looking forward to commemorating his work in this new way. Building a connection with his fans is important to us and it’s a privilege to get to do that on his behalf” said Pow! Entertainment president Gill Champion.

    Le has also appeared in some of the most popular films of all time. His well-known cameos in Marvel films began in the 1989 telefilm “The Trial of the Incredible Hulk”. After the release of “X-Men” in 2000, he appeared in nearly every Marvel film and television project until his passing in 2018.

  • Omicron surge: Uncertainty prevails at theatrical box office worldwide

    Omicron surge: Uncertainty prevails at theatrical box office worldwide

    Los Angeles: With the boom in box office grosses from ‘Spiderman: No Way Home’ beginning to subside and the Omicron surge taking its toll, movie theatres worldwide are facing a sobering reality that the first two months of the 2022 box office could turn out to be a gloomy dry spell.

    In the past week, according to TheWrap.com, Sony moved its next Marvel movie, the Jared Leto-led, ‘Morbius’ from late January to 1 April. Then, on Friday, Disney pulled the early-March Pixar film, ‘Turning Red’ from theaters entirely, instead of making it the third straight feature film from the animation studio to get an exclusive release on Disney+.

    That means that the US theaters will soon be lacking all three of the major ingredients for box office riches at this time of year — holiday holdovers, Oscar contenders, and major new releases — with only the prospect of Sony’s Tom Holland action film ‘Uncharted’ on 18 February and Warner Bros.’ ‘The Batman’ on 4 March is on the horizon to lure audiences in large numbers.

    Even prior to the pandemic, box office performances in January and February have been mixed. On one hand, films like ‘Hidden Figures’, ‘Bad Boys for Life’, and Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ found success with audiences in these early-year slots, combined with December releases like ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ and Oscar contenders like ‘La La Land’ to provide a solid start for the year. However, for the next four to eight weeks, the 2022 box office appears unlikely to see those levels of success play out again.

    To complicate matters, Omicron is beginning to play havoc in Hollywood as a surge in cases is causing production delays. As reported in the Los Angeles Times, despite a rebound in film and TV production in late 2021, as the Covid-19 crises began to subside, the recent emergence of the highly contagious Omicron variant now threatens production output as studios push back work once again. “We’re not seeing the typical level of rebound of production,” FilmLA President Paul Audley told The Times. “We’re hearing from people who are asking to cancel or postpone their permits right now.” FilmLA is the nonprofit group that handles film permits for the Hollywood region.

    The International Box Office faces similar yet unique challenges as the new Omicron variant causes concern around the globe. The new year begins as did the previous one, with cinema closures in several markets. Europe has been particularly affected, with Netherlands and Denmark in complete lockdown and restrictions in many others. Meanwhile, a slowdown in Hollywood productions due to Omicron could eventually hit the International Box Office’s bottom line.  Although Q1 is looking soft, some studio executives are hopeful that the overseas landscape, particularly in the northern hemisphere, will settle down by spring with moviegoers ready to return in Q2 with some normalcy.

    A unique international box office wildcard, as reported by Deadline, is China. With a powerhouse 44 per cent of the 2021 worldwide box office haul, China has been more ornery to navigate than usual, notably not approving a single movie with a Marvel character in 2021, from Disney’s ‘Black Widow’ straight through to Sony’s ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and having a huge influence on the International Box Office in the process.

    In general, China appears to be putting the brakes on Hollywood. 2021 already saw fewer than 20 revenue-sharing movies allowed in, versus 30-plus in 2019. There are varying theories as to why this is happening, which include the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party, which put the focus on local so-called “propaganda” movies like the $900 million-plus grosser ‘The Battle at Lake Changjin’. There also appears to be the targeted blackballing of Marvel. Some believe it may be linked to Black Widow’s depiction of communism, while some think the slate of films was a no-go as years-old comments allegedly made by ‘Eternals’ helmer Chloé Zhao surfaced last year.

    However, notable Hollywood titles that did release in China in 2021 include ‘A Quiet Place Part II’, ‘F9’, ‘Godzilla vs Kong’, ‘Dune’, and ‘Free Guy’. China also allowed films such as ‘Jungle Cruise’ and ‘Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins’ which had already been out elsewhere for months. In doing so, USC professor and China expert Stanley Rosen told Deadline, “They are showing that they’re not closed off, but they are telling Hollywood, ‘We don’t really need you and we will pick and choose for whatever reasons we want to’.”

    Does it matter to China that it left potentially hundreds of millions of dollars on the table by not releasing the Marvel movies? While an oft-heard refrain is that China doesn’t care about money, it’s also said the country does care about cultural power. And, though it may be entirely capable of churning out local films that gross well over $500M at home, without Hollywood products, sources believe it will not be able to feed its ever-growing number of screens (currently 82,248 and eyed at 100K by 2025).

    Rosen stated, “They don’t need Hollywood as much as they used to, that’s very clear. But, they want to be the number one film market in the world and want to show themselves as a global power and not close off. That includes film, so they need to have Hollywood products to show that.”

    As both the Domestic and International Box Offices eye a hopeful Q2, uncertainty remains as Covid-19 (including the Omicron strain) and China appear to hold blind cards to handing 2022 a winning box office prize.

  • What makes Marvel movies so good?

    What makes Marvel movies so good?

    Marvel has proven to be a leading cinematic universe, all because of its superheroes.

     Well, it could be a scientific fact that everyone’s eyes seem to be glued to the Marvel studios. The Marvel junkies can relate to the series emotionally, making them feel engaged with the superheroes.

     Scientific fact?

     Yes, with the use of an emotional recognition software (Affectiva), research has shown that Marvel participants have a high response to the humor and jokes in Marvel movies. Besides, they have a high emotional engagement with the superheroes. For instance, Marvel Avengers had 75% respondents who said they loved it.

    People want something to relate to. When one has an emotional connection, it brings up a tie that is hard to be broken.

     The superb hot streak in the year 2008 with Iron Man brought into existence another 21 films, and more are soon to be released.

     What is this all about Marvel movies’ perception?

      Audiences are not interested in the incredible effects of trailers. What they care about is the emotional engagement or the feel of humanity. And this is what makes Marvel movies popular.

     One way that brings about the difference in Marvel trailers is that unique script writing makes the stories fit into human roles.
     Let’s take a look at Black Panther (2018).

    When we talk of Marvel superheroes, what criteria are we using to gauge that they are the best characters? The answer lies in the measures used to have superhuman abilities and the skills to crime-fight compared to what any human can do, such as in Guardians of the Galaxy. 

    Another movie that hits at the top is Thor: Ragnarok(2017). Thor must evacuate the alien planet on time to ensure Asgard is saved from Hela and the approaching Ragnarok. Perhaps the film is one of the laughter-filled trailers with a competitive edge, Due to Cate Blanchett death goddess who brings around the character of superhuman colonialism.

    One final best in this list is the Marvel Avengers. The movie is all about making someone feel as if they have powers in their hands. Every avenger has a unique kit that symbolizes their battle’s heritage. Their motto is that every superhero yearns for that excellent gear to help take the bad guys to the ground. This is all that the movie is all about.

    Marvel movies ultimate conquest is good over evil, and this seems to describe all Marvel movies.

     Why do people prefer Marvel movies?

    Think for a moment. Why is it that almost everyone seems to be thrilled by Marvel movies? Would it be entertainment? 
    Definitely, this sounds like an awful idea.

     Entertainment won’t be there when one steps out of the movie hall, nor does it explain how the superhero gets the attention on the people’s minds.

     The Marvel movies keep their viewers in a gripped attention as they keep on releasing new films as follows. There’s the Spider-man, No Way Home set to be released on Dec 2021, Thor: Love and Thunder set to be released in 2022 around July. There is also the Doctor Strange (Multiverse of Madness) set on May 2022, and many more.

     Marvel movies keep on creating new records; one may wonder what brings about their unique purpose. Their unique purpose is all about superhorse persona.

    While most consider Marvel movies to have a significant impact on the young audience, all can enjoy the trailers.

    Without a doubt, Disney_Hotstar releases have a story to tell. Marvel is and will continue to pave their way unhindered.

    The key to Marvel movies’ popularity is that superheroes have a unique image. The one question would be, why does it seem that some superheroes have more attention than others? and people admire to be like them.

     In the real world, a superhero would be seen to sustain merits between good and evil, and this seems to be some retreat for the people. 

     For instance, Marvel Avengers world continues to expand the new operation or game modes that seem to fill out the fabric of the superhero world. This is why it ranked from least to most powerful.

     Marvel movies are best at action consistency; this avoids confusion to viewers. They are also unique due to their simplicity. Even if there is a crossover, one would still enjoy it due to the comedy and action balance.

    The Marvel Universe and the real world

     Marvel movies may be fantasy. But one core thing is that they help one reflect the trend in the community. They also inspire one to reflect on the problems such as preconception or diversity faced by many. For instance, most of the Spider-man films in Marvel movies are creative. They are also best at shaping the young ones’ mental development. This makes the young one learn of the world around them and assist in developing skills. One can play out a situation and have a glimpse of the outcomes.

     One great example would be Captain America. Here, all rules are followed, doing the right thing, or it could be in Iron Man, one does what they feel is right for them. 

    The Movies take into account different kinds of characters.

    One fact is that it’s not easy to reflect on real-world prejudice. Some are not even aware that such things exist, but the fictional superhero world helps to open such discussions. One best thing is that some superheroes get into fixes that demand sympathy, and seeing this makes one yearn to take action.

    Kids look up to superheroes as their role models, which makes them dare to express what’s in them. We also understand what emotions are, how to label them in us or others, and how to act. Superheroes have faced crisis, they have responded to them, and we can look at the aftermath consequences.

    Indeed, Marvel movies have a significant impact on the development of the viewers. It gives us the answer to the many questions of why Marvel movies are so good.

  • Disney+ and Apple TV+ see success during first six months

    Disney+ and Apple TV+ see success during first six months

    MUMBAI: New OTT services Apple TV+ and Disney+ have captured significant market share in the streaming video space, rounding out the top five behind the "Big 3" Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu, according to a recent consumer survey research by Parks Associates.

    The research firm's Market Snapshot: Disney+ and Apple TV+ highlights the impact of the entry of Disney+ and Apple TV+ in the OTT market, including insights into the factors driving their growth.

    Disney+ has skyrocketed to 25 per cent adoption among US broadband households after just six months in the market. Apple TV+, which launched around the same time, has reached nearly 10 per cent adoption. Disney+ and Apple TV+ are fourth and fifth, respectively, among SVOD services adopted by consumers.

    Data presented in this market snapshot were drawn primarily from an online survey of more than 10,000 consumers fielded between 8 March and 3 April to heads of broadband households, after the Covid2019 crisis had begun in the United States.

    Additional data from the market snapshot:

    Nearly three in ten broadband households report their use of online video services has increased because of the Covid2019 outbreak.

    81 per cent of Disney+ subscribers subscribe to Netflix, as do 72 per cent of Apple TV+ subscribers.

    Nearly one-half of Disney+ subscribers cancelled another OTT service over the last 12 months, as did roughly two-thirds of Apple TV+ subscribers.

    "Disney took a broad-based content approach to its Disney+ service, including its Pixar, Stars Wars, Marvel, Nat Geo, and 20th Century Fox properties to make it broadly appealing, far beyond its traditional audience of families with young children," said Parks Associates research director Steve Nason. "Very few Disney+ subscribers subscribe only to this service, so households are not picking up Disney in place of another service but adding to their home's other OTT services. We will see, as household budgets tighten up, if Disney+ has done enough to become an 'essential service' for its subscribers."

    Disney+ also benefited from promotions such as the introduction of the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle and its partnership with Verizon where unlimited mobile subscribers and new internet subscribers get a free year of the service.

    "Apple TV+ promoted a small stable of original programming and is now looking to supplement that with more third-party content," Nason said. "Apple TV+'s growth is due largely to a free year of service for those who recently purchased an Apple device, which brings the firm's brand loyalists into the service. Apple TV+ does have a higher percentage of exclusive non-Netflix subscribers, plus a higher number of households that recently cancelled another OTT service, so it appears Apple does have a core group of dedicated subscribers. Apple's challenge is to expand beyond that group."

    Parks Associates is an internationally recognized market research and consulting company specializing in emerging consumer technology products and services. The company's expertise includes digital media and platforms, entertainment and gaming, home networks, Internet and television services, etc.
