Disney Acquires Rights to Future ‘Indiana Jones’ Movies

[Sheriff Woody]

The Walt Disney Studios and Paramount Pictures have reached a distribution and marketing agreement for the Indiana Jones franchise.

Under the arrangement, Disney gains distribution and marketing rights to future films, in addition to retaining its current ownership rights which it secured when it acquired Lucasfilm.

Paramount will continue to be responsible for distribution of the first four films in the franchise and will receive a financial participation on any future films that are produced and released.

Though Disney now owns the rights they have not officially announced that a fifth films is in the works.

Back in August while promoting his Relativity film “Paranoia,” Harrison Ford expressed interest in doing another film but as of right now no writers have been set to write a script and Steven Spielberg has not committed to a sequel.

The last instalment “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” grossed $783 million worldwide.

Nice B-)

Now we can finally get that Indy figure, if they decide to make him.

I Wonder what it would be like if Indy met Rapunzel in Disney Infinity?

I dunno, but as long as Walmart doesn't get any exclusive rights to the figures, I'm for it, lol.

^^^^ next up on the exclusive train Game Stop exclusive!

Seeing the IJ fan art a few months ago, that's the first thing I thought I had when I heard the IJ news!

Love Johnny V's tweet about this

Who owns the Young Indy TV series...? Although Disney are useless at TV releases, it'd be nice if there were a YIJA re-release at some point, so that the Old Indy bookended short episodes could finally be seen. And the serialised newspaper strip.
