So maybe they will just do a film a year and not need one but dies anyone think Universal might open another animation studio or add to the dream works/illumination team
So universal can make sure they do original films plus more Nintendo films?
Maybe but that would also kinda limit things, lie lets say a DK movie is out in 2-3 years, that would mean a mario sequel is 4 years away minimum? Plus Luigi Mansion spin off and zelda at 5+ years awayMy guess is a Nintendo movie will only be once every couple years as an event for the studio. Even though the money is there, Nintendo wants to be in control and involved in the process so I don't think the production timelines can be sped up *too* fast. Also in-house IP are still valuable cause Universal gets a greater share of the profits vs. stuff like Mario where Nintendo will take a big share.

Not saying it has to but opening a new studio or adding more teams to Dream work/illumination would make sense unless Nintendo films really are just every few yearsNot everything happens at once.
Opening a new studio is not something easily done.Not saying it has to but opening a new studio or adding more teams to Dream work/illumination would make sense unless Nintendo films really are just every few years
Minions will have a movie in a few years, shrek, plus dreamworks seems to love making new IPS which is great
So mainly thinking of a way to keep it where there staff get to still make passion projects along with Nintendo/Minion films/Shrek films
Which is why I also said opening another team on the animation studios they ownOpening a new studio is not something easily done.
It's still a hard thing to do. It's not as much as before, but Illumination's CEO Chris Meledandri is still intimately involved in each project, and ramping up production with another team necessarily means less attention to each project. There's a reason why the MCU movies have gotten worse as they make more film and TV each year.Which is why I also said opening another team on the animation studios they own
Also so people dont think im here to argue, I was just asking and throwing out the idea Mario has killed it at the box office and park, so the question is do you just do business as normal or see there is money to be made with these Nintendo IP and jump on them now.
They were doing well for the first 10 or so years *sigh*There's a reason why the MCU movies have gotten worse as they make more film and TV each year.

I agree but there’s also the argument that Marvel was very successful for those first 10 years because kids were literally growing up with those movies. If it were me I would aim for either 1 movie a year or at least every two years. Plus you have to consider there’s multiple franchises so would you really put off something like Mario sequels for other franchises?Nintendo sees themselves as a top brand. They will take every film and television series very serious and that will take a lot of time. And rightfully so as they have an excellent brand. Gamers have to wait for a new game many, many years so I think Nintendo, who is financially very solid, won't go for mark saturation but for quality content that is an event when it drops (like a Bond movie).
Shigeru Miyamoto's Mario character previously had only 1 movie to it's name and it was terrible. It took Nintendo decades to make a brave step to hand their ip over to Universal for theme park and movie use. They want this brand to live longer than 10 years. Milking the cow dry, what Disney does all the time, is just short term gain and killing their franchises. Star Wars did great without movies for decades and sold more merch than than after Mickey got it's greasy fingers at the brand. This Japanese company is all about moderation and that is amazing and very smart.I agree but there’s also the argument that Marvel was very successful for those first 10 years because kids were literally growing up with those movies.

are you sure about this? I don't think consolidation is good for consumers by any means, but I don't think disney's ownership of the Star Wars brand has hurt its merchandise sales.Star Wars did great without movies for decades and sold more merch than than after Mickey got it's greasy fingers at the brand.
