beat sheet
- The Cars franchise has generated over $10 billion in merchandise sales in the first 5 years, making it the 2nd most profitable IP after Star Wars - proving Disney has a financial incentive to keep the franchise going.
- The third Cars movie significantly underperformed at the box office compared to the first two, suggesting audience demand may be waning - but Disney is reportedly planning new theme park attractions and a potential Cars 4 film to reignite interest.
