Why the fuck did this get greenlit?

why the fuck did this get greenlit?

Is the Hot Topic demographic really that marketable?

>LE QUIRKY JOHNNY DEPP WEARING MAKEUP MAN

>disney greenlights movies based on the artistic integrity

Money, dough, coin, shekels

Because Disney can just pay off reviewers like they do with every other movie.

THE JUNGLE BOOK 10/10 GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE RIGHT NEXT TO CITIZEN KANE AND STAR WARS EPISODE 7

made a billion dollars last time

cause it sells a fuck ton of merch

This.

I don't understand why, but it did.

Yes.
In 2011, when this franchise was still cared about.

But the new jungle book was actually ok and had impressive CGI.
You are thinking of SW7 and Captain America Civil War.

Is there a classic franchise that has been more raped by Hollywood than Alice in Wonderland?

Disney has so much money and influence that they can produce whatever they want with impunity.
They even have the reviewers in their pocket.

I really want this to bomb. Not because I hate women like the sizeable r9k cross posters here but because Tim Burton is a hack.

I doubt this one will be well reviewed honestly.

First movie after Avatar to cash in on the 3D craze.

I honestly hope this bombs.

The movie wasnt too bad but it was so stupid at some points.

Like what the hell is a jabberwocky?

>They even have the reviewers in their pocket.
Reminder no proof of this has ever been posted

Well the original animated film was the result of LSD.

Asking what the hell is not really a criticism.

This is the only real answer. The truth is that very little entertainment gets green lit because of love for the art or because it's a genuinely good idea

Then there's something like that huntsman prequel which was a bad idea AND the original wasn't too successful so why do it?
