This tells you all you need to know about the Big Mouse doing more live-action remakes of Diz Co.'s animated feature catalogue:
... The Guy Ritchie-directed [Aladdin] live-action remake of the 1992 animated classic grossed $999.3M globally through Thursday, with $343.1M domestically and $656.2M at the international box office. This makes Aladdin the fifth Disney-branded live-action release to ever cross the $1B threshold, alongside Beauty and the Beast, Alice In Wonderland and the second and fourth Pirates of the Caribbean films. ...
Hell yes they'll be doing more! All the way down to The Black Caudlron.
People in the animation business (i.e., the artists) complain all the time about Disney's crass commercialism and non-creative chops rebooting its heritage and library. But it won't be stopping anytime soon when a billion or more dollars is accumulated in one fell swoop.
For the diminishing few who might be upset that "Disney" could even think of doing the remake thing, understand that it's not Disney anymore. It's the movie-amusement park/distribution platform version of Berkshire-Hathaway.
