I hear Disney’s “The Color Purple bombed.” Too bad.
I, myself, just cant wait til Disney’s Snow Woke and the Seven Ding-a-lings hits the screens.
And here’s another “Claudine Gay goes to Hollywood” Disney bomb. dailymail.com-—Disney’s next biggest flop unfolds. Star Wars feminist director say her goal ‘is to make men uncomfortable’ Two-time Oscar winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has declared ‘I like to make men uncomfortable. I enjoy making men uncomfortable,’ she said after winning the Oscar for a documentary about acid attacks against Pakistani women.’
AND THIS GEM-—Disney’s “Claudine Gay clone,” LucasFilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy, has been called by one movie fan, ‘legitimately the worst entertainment executive of my lifetime.’
"The Color Purple" is a Warner Bros. film. Amblin Entertainment produced it (Spielberg) along with Quincy Jones' company.
Since it's release on Christmas day it has brought in $49 million against an estimated $100 million production budget (probably a low ball estimate) and an estimated marketing budget of $75 to $100 million. On the low end this move would have to make $350 million at the box office to break even. In the past few years most movies make 1/3 to 1/2 of their total domestic box office take in the first two weeks.
They will lose at least $100 million on this picture.
The director wants to make a Star Wars film that makes men feel uncomfortable... no need to explain the foolishness and business impact that will have.
I hope this movie becomes a career ending event for many. I hope Disney is in Chapter 7 by this time next year.
