I mean, the quality of the film means you're bound to make a lot of money with good advertisement and word-of-mouth. I'm saying I don't see how Universal handling the F4 any more different than Sony and Fox and if it's good like Logan and Deadpool, then it's guaranteed to make money. It's just unfortunate Fox had some crappy writers and directors who were clueless about the F4 franchise. Unless Disney could alter the plans, the Dr. Doom movie is still in development after all and Constantin Film may have to sign with a new distributor with Disney or they won't and find somewhere else. Anything's possible.
Disney has 26.09% market where the rest of the other big five members are lower than the 20% number, meaning they hire good directors and writers, but it does come with high-demands and ways none of the other studios have that luxury for. Universal-Nintendo animated movie deal is still a licensing deal, which is a common trend for Universal in both the film and theme park arena. It's no different than Disney having to license the video game characters for the Wreck-It-Ralph movie, and Disney isn't keen on getting 3rd world properties for their own movies and make a lot of money using its own IPs than to share money with a 3rd party company. As some people said here, I rather that Universal develop its own IPs rather than to have 3rd party companies, but nowadays, as I stated, that seems really hard for most studios except Disney.
