Dalmatians are proving to be Disney’s new best friends.

As Cruella heads into its second weekend, The Hollywood Reporter has learned the studio behind the Emma Stone-starrer is in early development on a sequel. Cruella director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Tony McNamara are expected to return for a sequel to the film that stars Stone as fan-favorite One Hundred and One Dalmatiansvillainess Cruella de Vil.

Cruella debuted May 28 simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ under the streaming service’s Premier Access tier, making it available to purchase for $30. The film has earned $48.5 million globally. It received positive reviews and has been praised for its 1970s punk rock aesthetic.

“We are very pleased with Cruella’s box office success, in conjunction with its strong Disney+ Premier Access performance to date,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement. “The film has been incredibly well received by audiences around the world, with a 97% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes in addition to A’s in every demographic from CinemaScore on opening weekend, ranking it among the most popular of our live-action reimaginings. We look forward to a long run as audiences continue to enjoy this fantastic film.”

Disney has found success mining its library of beloved animated features for live-action, starting with Alice in Wonderland (2010) and including Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent (2014), Cinderella(2015) and $1 billion grossers that include Beauty and the Beast (2017), Aladdin (2019) and The Lion King (2019). The studio isn’t done with its successful decade-plus strategy yet as it has live-action reimaginings Pinocchio, Peter Pan & Wendy and The Little Mermaid in the works.

Can't wait for Gaston 2022 which reveals Gaston's parents were murdered by literacy and not having mad gains

The movie wasn’t actually that bad tbh, I didn’t feel like the movie was trying to justify or excuse her psychoness , but rather it was of a story about how someone who definitely was fucked in the head from the start, just gave into thier shitness.

Can't wait for Gaston 2022 which reveals Gaston's parents

Hasn't he already been retconned as a secret homo with his best buddy LeFou?

All we really do know about the story is that it will focus on Gaston and LeFou’s relationship. Those two provided the biggest laughs in the film. Say what you will about the movie, but Evans and Gad were a well-matched and charismatic pair. Unfortunately, that relationship drew controversy when director Bill Condon said there was an “exclusively gay moment” for LeFour.

I enjoyed Cruella lol who cares

 

[Sneed's Feed And Seed]

I mean, what's next? Scar was a tofu-eating lion cub and Simba's dad ate his brothers and sisters

"Scar" was retconned in the extended canon to that being a nickname, his actual name is Taka, which translates to "trash". This happened BEFORE all the "villain gets a live action movie" BS.

The sanctity of children’s cartoons are on the line here!

Can't wait for Gaston 2022 which reveals Gaston's parents were murdered by literacy and not having mad gains

A Gaston prequel where Gaston's parents are killed when a bookcase topples over them that he's too weak to lift and finds himself unable to resuscitate them due to the only medical book around not having pictures to guide him through it.

>97% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes sold out so fucking hard. As if we're all supposed to believe that shitty current year films all have better scores than all the timeless top films of decades past.

RT did manipulate Audience score in past.
If I remember correctly they didnt count reviews with lowest possible ratings For Disney Star wars.

Craig Gillespie, of Lars and The Real Girl fame, is who directed Cruella?

Lars and The Real Girl was a good movie, what happened?

I just looked this up and might watch it. For some reason, probably too much time on this site, I assumed it was like a Lili Elbe movie, i.e. the real girl in question being a horny dude.

 

[Atatata]

The movie was fine, it was just hammy. Hell, there's a scene where they stuff a one-eyed chihuahua into a rat costume and throw it at a security guard.

 

[No. 7 cat]

Literally peanuts, the movie cost $200 million. Disney is loving that they can shit these things out online so the loss can be underwritten into the cost of disney+.

Yeah, looks like one of those legal accounting fiddles, probably towards reducing their tax liability to zero. Film Robert probably loved it.

It's an interesting comedy drama because the premise is so absurd you'd think it'd be impossible to mine real drama from it, but Ryan Reynolds performance is so good that it works.
