Universal has reported that Trolls World Tour has made almost $100m since its US release on 10 April, of which a far larger proportion will go directly to the studio than if it had had a cinema release.

Shell was quoted as saying: “The results for Trolls World Tour have exceeded our expectations and demonstrated the viability of PVOD … As soon as theaters reopen, we expect to release movies on both formats.” Therefore, effectively immediately AMC will no longer play any Universal movies in any of our theatres in the United States, Europe or the Middle East.”Īron was responding to comments by Universal CEO Jeff Shell in the Wall Street Journal, after the VOD release of Universal’s family animation Trolls World Tour. The final outing Jaws: The Revenge - which has two different endings - is commonly labeled one of the worst films ever made, and while it's a little better than its reputation suggests, there's still a wide gulf in quality between it and the original.Aron added: “Universal’s unilateral actions and intentions have left us with no choice. Jaws 3-D was a dull, badly written adventure that trapped a 35-foot great white in SeaWorld, and was afflicted with infamously poor special effects. Jaws 2 is a solid, though flawed follow-up that is easily the best of the film sequels. New director Jeannot Szwarc was dropped in with a revised script, but he clashed with star Roy Scheider, who was only making the sequel to fulfill a contractual obligation.

Unfortunately, like the Steven Spielberg original, Jaws 2was another troubled production, with the original director being fired a month into production and almost all of his footage being scrapped. Jaws was such a landmark success there was little hesitation on Universal's part about greenlighting a sequel. While many found the movie follow-ups disappointing, here's why Universal Studios Jaws ride was really the best sequel.
