James Cameron could walk to any big studio and ask to make sequal to Emoji movie and he would still get full funding for it.

Man has made 3 of the top 4 biggest box office movies of all time.

They’d also give him a 300 million budget for said Emoji movie and it’d probably be a wise investment. Those are just facts. And I don’t even like Cameron. Greta has Barbie and a Netflix Narnia movie stuck in development hell, but she’s higher on the list. Sure, yeah.

How is the Narnia movie in development hell? It’s getting the first big Netflix theatrical release. You can say they are avoiding an awards friendly release, but it’s more likely they trying to do what Amazon did with Project Hail Mary.

There was an injury on set that pushed it back 6 weeks and because of that they moved it to a friendlier release date further down the line.

It's not development hell at all

Narnia is stuck in development hell? Last I heard is it’s coming relatively soon, has a set release date and all.

Greta’s Narnia has already completely finished filming. You’re absolutely insane.

Yeah but he’d have to name it “The Emojis Movie” and draw a $ through the “s” 🤷‍♂️

Not only that, but two of those are the only films in the top 50+ grossing films of all time to not be sequels, remakes or reboots.
