Yes their parks are doing well. Crowded even while ever pricier. I’ve gone every year for a 3 day trip with my kids every year for the past 24 years—I’ve noticed fewer families and strollers and more high-end strollers for those families who come. It’s for singles and locals and some Disney obsessed rich people and gay men more these days.
My 25th and final visit will be in Feb, during Celebrate Gospel weekend. I’ll counter the wokeness that way, and then sadly and fondly say goodbye. Farewell, Walt. My family really enjoyed those visits.
The sooner the better. Its creed is to program children and has been since its inception.
Witchcraft, magical fantasy... it never ceases, and its morphed into wokeness. Pure devils at work.
Drag Queen LGBTQWERTY Disney
Walt Disney would be in total shock
It was a long fall from the whimsical Mickey in “Steamboat Willie” to the Disney+ satanic “Pauline”.
Wrong order. Fed last.
I’ve been wondering for a while if it’s now a money launderer for Deep State.
Die mouse.
Die.
Wait until June 30, when the 5th Disney BOMB is released (Indiana Jones 5).
It is said this is the end for Kathleen Kennedy, who destroyed the Star Wars, Willow, and now Indiana Jones franchises.
The people calling the shots do not care. They’re good little insane fags. They’ll completely bankrupt the company as long as they can parade around in granny’s panties and party in the men’s room at the bus stop.
That is what happens when you alienate your customers or make products the people don’t want.
Was she fired? I read that she was placed on leave for now. If they had terminated her, I would have expected to have heard about her lawsuit against AB.
I’m betting full pay ‘guests’ are down at Disney World too...
Better known as “Indiana Jones and the Search for Regularity”
They may very likely not have a profitable movie the rest of the year.. Guardians 3 was profitable, but that may be the ONLY one this year
Little Mermaid, Failed.. they will play games by making sure what DINSEY+ pays for it after its run makes it look like it broke even at least, but that’s just funny money.. Disney “paying itself”... in reality it’s losses will be in the 9 figure (and potentially multiple 9 figure range).
Elementals? They can’t even pretend this will break even, multiple 9 figure losses
Indian Jones, same deal, multiple 9 figure losses.
Haunted Mansion, 170M production budget, I highly doubt this will draw 400-500M in ticket sales... global audience might pull it out perhaps, but I just doubt highly it will truly make any money.
Wish 200M production budget. Will this make money? I don’t know, Disney’s burned a lot of bridges with its core... Families can’t trust Disney any longer, and they truly haven’t put out a GREAT movie in a long time.
The Marvels? They claim they only spent 130M to produce it, assume at least that much if not more will be spent on marketing... not a shot in hell this will be a hit, but if they keep the marketing cost down, they may be able to claim it at least didn’t lose money. However, I think expecting 300-400M out of this is not very likely, and I don’t see how they don’t wind up at least needing the low of that end to break even.
Kraven the Hunter, roughly same reported production budget, and will need the same sort of numbers to break even... I doubt highly it will be able to do it. Marvel has tapped all its A tier players, they aren’t even in the B tier any longer.. they are down to C and D tier characters, which only major die hard comic fans are going to know, let alone care about.
Spiderverse will make money, but it’s a Sony project, with Marvel involvement so not a straight marvel film, so Disney may make some cash off this, but it’s not really their film.
In this entire list, there is only 1 movie that I think even has any shot at making any significant money, if any at all, might be Wish... but that will be heavily dependent on if this is truly a great film.. and whether Family’s have written off Disney or not. Given Disney’s track record, I am not suggesting this thing will be profitable, I am just saying its the only thing in this list that just doesn’t scream failure instantly... Of course Disney hasn’t put out a great animated film in a long time (Moana was probably last one I would say wasn’t meh at best, and that was in 2016 and managed less than 700M) given the plot line of Wish, I am not really seeing it being that scale of a movie, and I don’t know what if any woke crap they may be sticking in this thing... History suggest it will be something... and if they do that, odds of it being majorly successful drop significantly.
I honestly know NOTHING about Wish other than basics of the premise, the teaser trailer certainly doesn’t look spectacular, but even if it manages a Moana type haul, it would still only make a few hundred million after what will easily be well over a BILLION in losses by that point for the year on its films, and the only reason it wouldn’t be multiple billions is Guardians did manage, probably somewhere in the 200-300M range in profit for the film.
Disney has utterly lost its way...
Reports: Disney’s ‘Star Wars’ Casts First Transgender Actor in a Major Role
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2023/06/25/reports-disneys-star-wars-casts-first-transgender-actor-in-a-major-role/
The ceo Iger supports this!
IMDB says her Danish father is "part Inuit-Greenlandic ancestry."
If she's black, Native Greenlandic and non-binary, she is Diversity Gold. Every big corporation's gonna want to hire her, whatever her profession.
In today's world, she can write her own ticket.
Disney put itself in a trap. The company wanted to virtue signal on trans issues AND appeal to families. You don’t get to do both. Pick one. The former will cause your shows and stock to tank (nobody wants to watch trans shows). The latter will boost your stock and strengthen your brand.
There comes a point when the banks providing the credit need to be paid back. Hard for that to happen when the companies you loan to are kaput.
