I doubt they'll stop till they stop making money
- From the articles I've read they aren't making money.

  I don't personally care either way, but if they're going to be pushing out this remake garbage, they need to figure out how to do it as cheaply as possible. Because if having a half million dollar box office is a financial loss, Disney is doing something wrong.
  
  It'll take more than just one, and they still might make money from the massive merchandising tie ins
  
  Doesn’t that article say they’ve already made over 400 million at the box office? For a movie that allegedly cost 200 million to make that does feel like a flop.
