Newsletters Authors Podcasts Events Gift Puck Careers CHRIS HEMSWORTH’S BOX OFFICE POISON Why is Disney considering the Thor actor for ‘Prince Charming’ despite prodigious evidence that he has failed to lure audiences to theaters outside of his Marvel movies? Casting Hemsworth in yet another I.P./tentpole-style picture, despite his poor track record outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, would be more than old-fashioned strategizing. Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images Scott Mendelson October 29, 2024 SHARE Making a Prince Charming movie seems like the kind of half-joking idea that comes up when Disney executives realize they’ve run out of A-level cartoons to reboot. Disney Studios is indeed developing a film project based on the one-dimensional bachelor prince from Cinderella, slated to be directed by Paddington and Wonka filmmaker Paul King, based on his idea. And they’re talking to Chris Hemsworth to play a version of Prince Charming himself, though it’s unclear what that would entail—especially coming from King, who has mixed live-action and CGI animation in the past. Capitalizing on a female-focused piece of I.P. by emphasizing the dude is precisely the kind of self-defeating thinking Hollywood allegedly outgrew in the late 2010s. After Bad Moms broke out, STX never actually made Bad Dads. But casting Hemsworth in yet another I.P./tentpole-style picture, despite his poor track record outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, would be more than old-fashioned strategizing. It seems like a sign of comparative indifference on Disney’s part. Thirteen years after his breakout role in Thor, he remains defined by his singular marquee character, more so than many of his superhero peers. And the box office numbers are not kind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Belloni • October 24, 2024 PRE-ELECTION VIBE CHECK: HOLLYWOOD EDITION Eriq Gardner • October 22, 2024 ELLISON’S NEW CBS HEADACHE & VENU’S POLITICAL WAR Matthew Belloni • October 22, 2024 HOLLYWOOD’S OFFSHORING BLAME GAME TRY PUCK FOR FREE Sign up today to join the inside conversation at the nexus of Wall Street, Washington, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and more.

Matthew Belloni • October 18, 2024 NETFLIX’S TOO BIG TO FAIL MOMENT Yesterday’s earnings portrayed a company pulling away from its competitors, with business fundamentals and future growth pleasing investors. But Netflix’s executives also offered plenty of clues about how they’re going to manage their headaches (the ad tier, their competitors’ ability to gang up, etcetera) and the comp and movie theater questions.

Scott Mendelson • October 7, 2024 THE JOKER’S SEQUELITIS At one point, a big-budget follow-up movie that grossed less than the original was an anomaly.

Matthew Belloni • September 27, 2024 COMP WARS: NETFLIX VS.
