Disney Buys Fox: What's It Mean for the Old Narnia Trilogy?
Posted: Dec 14, 2017 5:55 pm
Disney has officially acquired all of Fox's film and TV properties, in a 52 billion dollar deal. This includes all of the properties and assets of Fox film studios 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, and Fox 2000. Now that Fox is looking to move into focusing specifically on their place in the news industry, Disney is now the proud owner of a hundred different powerhouse properties. They own Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar, The Jim Henson Company, and now all of the big Fox movie franchises.
With the rest of the internet wondering what will happen to franchises such as Xmen, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four, what could this mean for the original Narnia trilogy? The distribution and marketing rights to the first two films are with Disney, and the third is with Fox 2000. Fans have longtime wondered if we would ever see a complete Blu-Ray/DVD collection of the Narnia films(if they are ever finished). While Sony and MGC produce the next installment, what do fellow Narniawebbers feel might happen with the original films? Will they be given Blu-Ray/DVD rereleases, as complete sets to help promote the next films? It would give Disney free attention and sales to a relatively forgotten and dormant franchise. Just a thought, but is anybody else wondering what this buyout means for the original Narnia trilogy?
