9. "They might be. Box office is slowing a bit, no new franchises." In response to In response to 8 Mon May-15-17 05:26 PM by SoulHonky
Pixar and Disney are an odd fit because Disney wants franchises and Pixar prefers original content.
If you look at Pixar's 17 films' box office adjusted by inflation, the Disney Era Pixar films rank : #2, #7, #12, #15, #16, #17. And #2 was Finding Dory, building off of Nemo's success. Also, the competition is catching up. Hell, even the internal competition is heating up with Disney recently launching Moana, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, and Frozen while none of Pixar's films in the last decade seem like they'll spawn a franchise. And three of the next four films are sequels, with Coco being the lone original.
Inside Out helped stem the tide and nobody's losing sleep when the movies are still routinely near the top of the box office but I think it's something to keep an eye on.
