Some details on Walt Disney "The Nutcracker And The Four Realms" on Nov 2, 2018
Walt Disney has offered a third and final Nutcracker and the Four Realms trailer. This is easily the best look yet at a comparatively questionable release, with quite a few previously-unseen effect shots and action beats. Behind-the-scenes melodrama notwithstanding, this looks rather gorgeous and quite colorful, and this third tease highlights a bit of menace and peril to go along with the whole "You're actually a princess!" fantasy.
What's odd is that this trailer apparently played in theaters with Ant-Man and the Wasp but never arrived online. That perhaps explains why we got a "new" trailer less than a month after the much-delayed second trailer. Either way, this is the best of the three for this live-acton Disney fairy tale.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is both a key Disney release and a relative freebie as they close out a relatively boffo 2018 year. Yes, if it tanks upon opening on Nov. 2, it'll be another sign that Disney needs to iron out its kinks in terms of crafting successful live-action hits that aren't based on a classic Disney animated movie or specifically tied to Pirates of the Caribbean, the MCU or the Star Wars saga. But that whole "too reliant on animation, Star Wars and The Avengers" is the very definition of a procrastination-friendly problem.
Yes. they may eventually have an issue if those red-hot properties cool off. But that may not happen for a while and the launching of Disney Play (their streaming service) and the whole "We bought a Fox" thing complicates the whole question of whether or not Disney needs or cares about non-branded hits. To the extent that we don't quite know how this plays out, Disney may well just pump out Marvel movies, Star Wars movies, animated biggies and live-action fairy tales on the regular alongside whatever they decide to keep from Fox, be they X-Men movies (be they stand-alone or part of the MCU), the Avatar series, the various R-rated horror properties (Alien, Predator, etc.) or the overtly adult mid-scale fare like Death on the Nile.
And that's not even counting the hope that Disney will keep Fox and Fox Searchlight somewhat intact at least to A) monopolize the mid-to-higher budget adult fare and B) offer a variety of year-end Oscar season biggies. So on one hand, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, initially directed by Lasse Halstrom before Joe Johnston was brought in to take over (shades of Maleficent) is a big test in terms of how much the Disney brand name is worth when it's arguably the only selling point for a given movie. On the other hand, if Disney's explicitly branded IP remains relatively strong, and if Fox gives them more toys to play with, it may not matter that they haven't had a successful built-from-scratch live-action and "not related to a Disney animated property" franchise since National Treasure in 2004.
On the plus side, Fox's X-Men: Dark Phoenix challenges has left Nov. 2 comparatively vacant, at least to the point where Mackenzie Foy/Keira Knightley/Morgan Freeman/Helen Mirren/Eugenio Derbez fantasy is the big official holiday season kick-off movie. The Ashleigh Powell-penned fantasy, obviously a reworking of the Russian ballet, looks intriguing enough, with some "Yes, but we're more progressive now!" leanings that seemingly don't boil over into cringeworthy patronization or explicit action-ification of the original text. And yeah, even if this one stumbles out of the gate, it'll have cover courtesy of Ralph Breaks the Internet three weeks later and, due to a near-lack of early-to-mid December biggies, it'll have a chance to make up for lost time from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms opens courtesy of Walt Disney on Nov. 2, 2018. If Christopher Robin makes it to $100 million domestic, it'll be up to this one to give Disney a 1.000 batting average for 2018.
