Thanks to Lion King 3D, Disney Will Re-release Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid, and More in 3-D

“Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?” Insert “piles of The Lion King 3D cash” for “stuff” and you’ll see why Disney’s planning to roll out even more retro hits in similar fashion in the next few years. Why leave those catalogue classics in the vault when they can bring in as much as $80 million more a pop?

We still may not know for sure whether Pixar is planning a Toy Story 4 , but we do know that sixteen years ago — long before Buzz and Woody grossed nearly $2 billion at the global box office — Pixar was having a difficult time titling John Lasseter’s toy project. So much so that the studio enlisted all of their employees to brainstorm ideas, some of which have surfaced on the Internet today.

Weekend Receipts: Cars 2 Smokes the Competition

“Move, b****, get out the way!” said Cars 2 to Green Lantern as the Pixar sequel burned rubber over all over the competition this weekend. Hey, if Mater and Lightning McQueen can eat sushi and have car doors and live in a world with sidewalks but no humans with no discernable method of procreation in place , Cars 2 can speak in the parlance of Ludacris in my head. Especially when it defies everyone – skeptics, haters, that 34 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating — to rake in $68M in its opening weekend. Let’s review the weekend receipts!

Friday Box Office: Cars 2 Speeds to $25.7 Million

Critics may have only found Cars 2 to be marginally better than Hop (at least judging from the two films’ Rotten Tomatoes scores), but that doesn’t mean audiences felt the same way. The Pixar sequel rushed to $25.7 million on Friday night — well ahead of tracking expectations — and could wind up with the second-biggest opening weekend in the history of the brand, behind only Toy Story 3 . In other surprising box office news: Bad Teacher also exceeded expectations — and how! With a $12 million Friday night, the Cameron Diaz-led comedy could beat the opening weekend of fellow R-rated girl comedy Bridesmaids , quality be damned. Your Friday box office is here.

Life After MacGruber and SNL: Catching up with Will Forte

Last year at this time, Will Forte had just wrapped his eighth season on Saturday Night Live and completed an exhausting round of promotion for MacGruber — the film based on Forte’s popular SNL character. Within a month, beleaguered by bad box office, MacGruber was entirely out of theaters. Then, in August, came the surprise announcement that Forte had decided not to return for his ninth season of Saturday Night Live .
