Next year will be interesting, half the movies look like sure things, the other half look like they’ll struggle to break even. They look to have a few billion dollar movies though that should cover any losses.

It’s all going to come down to reviews and word of mouth, I was surprised that TLM made over $500 million worldwide so if the reviews are even decent I wouldn’t be surprised if this does similar. Whether it’ll break even depends on how much they ultimately spent, $500 million seems to be the...

We rode this the other day during AP previews and I completely forgot about the Co-op backstory, had it not been for a few queue signs I’d have forgotten about the salt mine backstory also… which IMHO is a good thing, it simply felt like a “trip through the bayou”, which I think is what most...

I think most of us are here for a little magic between trips, unfortunately there often isn’t much to talk about recently so I think we get sidetracked on things like this that would otherwise be irrelevant. I’d much rather be talking about new rides, new shows, new parades, etc but until...

I think this is the primary reason, 30 years ago the only thing we knew about most celebrities was what they shared on the Tonight Show or in interviews. Now that we have social media many celebrities (and average joes) share every detail of their life, the good and the bad. I’ve seen...

I don’t think politics affects those decisions nearly as much as likability, there’s a lot of movies I’ll go see simply because I love the actors in it, there’s also movies I’ll avoid because I dislike actors in it. Zegler comes off as smug and condescending so for me she falls into the...

100% agree, if they can put out a great finished product and make the $ half billion (or whatever) it’s going to take to turn a profit from this debacle I’ll never badmouth Disney studios again, it would be the greatest recovery ever. I’m guessing if they can minimize losses to even $100...

Zeglers comments alone are just a piece of the puzzle, add in the Dinkler comments, the negativity about the leaked 7 dwarfs / 7 friends photo, the delays, the questionable dwarfs CGI, the mostly negative response to the trailer… I can’t think of any positive word of mouth leading up to the...

I think it’s safe to say the vast majority don’t follow Disney like we do, but even if it’s only 10% that saw/heard about the controversy that’s about ten million adults. It’s not nearly as drastic as 75 million but it’s still a sizable chunk of potential ticket sales that may have been lost...

I just finished listening to a summary of the call and it’s pretty impressive numbers across the board, as a Disney fan I hate that their nickel and diming is resulting in increased guest spending and great numbers, it’ll just encourage them to continue to raise prices, while offering less, and...

I was just listening to a summary of the 4th quarter conference call today and found it interesting when Iger was talking about the upcoming 2025 movies he didn’t mention Snow White, he mentioned about half the movies that will come out in 2025 but not Snow White. Tin foil hat time… Is that...

I love HoP but capacity probably would benefit from being shorter, a 15 minute show would probably get twice as many guests in a day as the current show. Easier to convince people to wait 10 minutes rather than 20 minutes and also easier to convince them to sacrifice 30 minutes of their day for...

I wouldn’t have blamed them for firing her over those comments, disparaging the movie that literally made the company and that is beloved by their fans was not a smart move. Instead I think they handled it internally and her tone changed drastically, it was working, until it wasn’t anymore...

I agree with you for the most part, I think her issues stem from the fact many of her early controversial comments were at press events where she was officially representing Disney. She’s free to rant and rave in her personal life (to a point) without Disney having any say but when it directly...

I preferred when celebrities were glamorous mythical figures, social media has shown they are just as biased and flawed as the rest of us, in many cases far worse. The “Never meet your heroes” adage has been proven correct.

We were at DL on Monday and the flag ceremony was incredible, packed plaza and it was amazing watching the CM Veterans march down Main St and up to the train station. The (unexpected) fireworks at the end was a nice cherry on top.

I don’t think they have a choice, they’ve spent a couple hundred million, they need to try to recoup some of that money. I will be shocked if we see her on a publicity tour though, Disney knows she’s a PR disaster and the less she says the better off the box office will be. Her and Gadot...

We rode it yesterday and I’m happy to report we enjoyed it also, I’d say it’s a tiny decline from Splash simply because there’s less to look at but the drops (and getting wet) are just as fun as ever. Seems wasteful they spent so much money on something that doesn’t improve the park though, at...

It’ll be curious to see if they send her out on the promotional circuit, if they do then this is evidence, if they don’t you’re probably correct and Disney can say they had no other recourse since she’d already finished filming and isn’t an employee, I bet Disney wishes they’d never hired her in...

I think this will be a make or break element of this movie, how they get people up to speed will matter, purely conjecture on my part but based on the trailer the older black guy being an experimental super soldier who was then cast aside by the program looks like it’s going to be a major...
