Stevan Mladenovic writes: Greetings Collider Crew, huge fan of the show. My question for today is: Why do studios wait so long to release movies on DVD? I understand they want as many people as possible to see the movie in theaters But some movies (Avengers Age of Ultron for example is coming to DVD on October 2nd, 5 months after the movie Released). Wouldn't if be better to Release it on DVD sooner while the movie is Fresh so that all the people who weren't able to catch it in theaters or just want to watch the movie for the 10th time (like me) can, without resulting in Pirating.
Johan writes: Since the short film, Frozen Fever, introduced the little snowmen, how do you think they will (or should) handle that in Frozen 2? Will they have to show their origin again? I'm sure not everyone will have seen Frozen Fever by the time Frozen 2 comes out.
Toochukwu Onwuliri writes: My question is, with the success that Disney has with its subsidiaries like Marvel, Pixar, Disney animation and now Lucas Films, why have other movie companies not copied this concept. I believe this will reduce unnecessary studio interference in movie making. After your discussion on committees making movies in Fox and WB, it just sounds like a great idea for movie companies to create subsidiaries with each one having an identifiable key figure like Feige, Kennedy etc.To an extent Warner has achieved this on Television with HBO, CW etc but have not applied this to their movie production studio.
Evelyn Jorquera Quiroz writes: i was watching the mockingjay part 2 trailer on youtube today and realise that on the coment section it was full of spoilers of the film, and all things that will happen in this last movie... i look other trailers online and saw that this keeps happening and people who think they are funny keep posting this stupid coments on many trailers of movies that a mayor part of the audience watching them may not know every details of the plot. Do you think studios or the youtube channels should take more precautions on the platforms that they post their movie trailers and not allow comments to avoid this, or it is a problem of the audience who should respect the right to every person to see and be surprised in a movie theater?
Christopher Frais writes: Hello Crew! Love your work! Now, here's my question: what if, through some god sent miracle, the MCU and the DCEU came together to make a crossover movie(or movies)? What do you guys think would have to happen to make this collaboration and story work? And just how much will change the film industry if this team up is very successful?
Geo Gomez writes: Hey collier crew, so the official trailer dropped for Beast of No Nation starring Edris Elba, and it looks really good. What are your thoughts on it?... Just judging on the trailer it looks like Edris could be going for an Oscar... too early to call?
Charles Testrake writes: I have noticed a disturbing trend I would like your opinion and analysis of. Many of my friends and colleagues are no longer going to movie theaters anymore. When I ask them why, the three most common reasons that I get are that it is too expensive to take the whole family, that they can just wait three months for Blu-ray or streaming, or that they know this website where they can watch new movies for free. So as technology continues its advancement, and with the advent of virtual reality devices over the next several years; will movie theatres soon become obsolete?
Ali Makaveli writes: Why don't Hollywood take risks on new original movies rather than making sequels or things that have already been done in the past? I understand the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality, but surely it's worth taking risks sometimes and see what happens? Apart from Avatar, we haven't seen another original movie for a few years. Will we ever see another "Avatar"? I.e. a successful movie that isn't a sequel, remake or re-imagining?
