After Disney's acquisition of Fox, the Mouse House stands to control an ungodly percentage of the movie business (40%... what is the number exactly?) Today they released their schedule for the next few years, albeit a vague one since many of the movies are untitled. Several things become clear despite the lack of specifics: First, Disney hopes to maintain the luster of Star Wars by abandoning the overselling we've seen these past few years (which have taken a noticeable toll with diminishing box office) and releasing one only every other year, alternating them with Avatar pictures. Meanwhile Disney Animation, Pixar, and Marvel Studios will basically maintain their current clips of two to three titles each per year.  The more distressing thing that appears to be the case if you look at this schedule is that Disney seems to be burning off the Fox properties but must have abandoned anything in the pipeline that isn't finished already save for animated features since they take so long to make and Steven Spielberg's West Side Story which starts filming very soon. Apparently the only reason Disney wanted Fox was for the Avatar franchise? 

You can see the schedule after the jump...

No word yet on which Marvel sequels these might be but we assume we'll get another Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man by this time frame, if not sooner. Also how long will it be before Disney runs out of animated titles to reboot as live-action or "live-action" animation (lol) movies? I mean they're obviously going to stop before reaching Song of the South or Three Caballeros, you know?

What do you make of this and do you think Disney will continue to do at least some adult dramas like Fox did... or will it be all family-friendly franchises?
