I'm actually quite skeptical about Pirates. Hopefully Depp can squeeze some more juice out of the captain.
I think the fourth movie sucked because it was just Jack. As entertaining as he is, there needs to be other familiar characters, too. The new one will have Will Turner back, and the new villain seems cool. Disney got it right.

Full article on YahooNews You guys think they can make it?
Rogue One was brilliant. I thought Abrams did better job with space battles in episode 7 but overall it was a great spin off.
It felt a bit generic, but I liked it anyway. I like that StarWars have gotten darker and more mature and feel less of a fairytale for teenagers. Also, the last 30 seconds is the best part of the movie!
I also decided to rewatch... but only the third one. I really loved it 10 years ago. Watching it now felt like a cringe fest, I couldn't even make it to the end. It's just so bad.
Disney CFO: Profit pressures in 2017 from high program costs Facing tough comps in its film business in 2017, Walt Disney will also see profits dinged by higher programming costs, according to its chief financial officer. Speaking at Citi's Internet, Media and Telecommunications Conference, CFO Christine McCarthy says programming costs that are expected to grow by 8% will crimp results. Web TV services are seeing demand from customers, but they're not a substitute for over-the-air, she says.

The stock closed at $108.98 on Friday but is likely going to trade much higher in the next week or two. The stock chart signals upside to $115.00 before it slams into major resistance. The resistance level is clearly shown in the stock chart below and is found by connecting two sets of major pivot points. When the lines are extended, they both merge at $115.00, giving pro investors and traders a great short trade level. Investors that are long should think about taking profits at $115, even if they choose not to go short. However, most pros will jump on this short level for great profits.
The fact that Wall Street is on Disney’s side of the bargain should be enough encourage to investors. with the company still growing earning per share at double-digit rates, combined with more than $13 billion in cash flow, analysts are in agreement that the risk versus reward when it comes to investing in Disney is now more favorable.

I couldn't agree more. Their movie line-up for 2017 is great (2018 is even better) and theme parks are doing fine. I'm glad I bought at $90s.
