I think it is largely a demographics thing. Final Fantasy probably has a lot more overlap with Magic in terms of fan base than Spider Man does. We’ll see about stuff like Avatar and TMNT, but I’d hazard a guess that Marvel next year will perform similarly to Spider Man.

I feel like the spidey failure will offset that success a bit
