    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    I think you can figure it out by searching online and what the CEO stated during a couple of interviews.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Not true at all. I read these boards all the time! I love Disney and attend the parks quite a bit. I want Disney to succeed and create new stories and experience at the parks. These last two years from them is killing their bottom line, park development and theaters.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Let’s break this down…Disney used to be a fantastic marketing masters. I do not know what happened (maybe laid off the good employees). The Marvels had two characters that very few knew about and one that no one cared for which caused this movie to fail. TLM - unfortunately people are waking...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    No, it is not weak. Guardians was an excellent movie because of the character development, a great story and well executed. Yes, they were not popular but James Gunn had a fantastic vision.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    I agree with you BUT the marketing, interviews with the actors (including directors) and headlines discuss the agenda. TLM and the Marvels are two movies that no one wanted. People are done with remakes and the Marvels were three characters either people did not know or again did not want. They...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    People now are very selective on what they see in the theater. In my opinion here are my reasons why theaters or movies in the theaters are tanking. 1. People lost TRUST in Disney. 2. Remakes, remakes and remakes (including sequals) - we are tired of them. 3. No originality (see #2…and Disney’s...

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    Oops! I was wrong. They have $14billion in cash. Even though they have it, they still have to pay for Hulu.

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    Yes, they are making billions in revenue but they only have $4.8 billion in free cash flow. Yes, that is a lot but they have to pay $10+billion for Hulu and invest billions in the parks. Remember, borrowing cash for the parks and experiences is going to cost a lot more with much higher interest...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    This is spot on! Disney lost the trust of their audience and what they are pushing out. It’s no secret what they are trying to do but are exhausted from it. I am sad for Disney because I love their parks.

    Captain Marvel 2: "The Marvels" -- Nov 10, 2023 Theatrical Release

    Disney is a business to make money. Their movies are not making money and merchandise sales are in the toilet. You are the few that like these characters and that is totally fine…for Disney+. Not the box office. This has a snowball effect on merch and the parks. Be careful what you wish for...

    Captain Marvel 2: "The Marvels" -- Nov 10, 2023 Theatrical Release

    Sure you can. Look at the all the movies they made from phase one to three. All expensive but made money. This new phase of the M-She-U is garbage and bad writing. The character development is terrible and these “C” level characters are not wanted by the fans. We know Disney and Marvel are...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Disney will have a hard time and has to some tough decisions to make quickly. First, the story talent is sub par and the good talent was let go. Disney need to start trusting then again…that is gone. Also, stop making excuses that is the fans fault. Um, no! If you build it, they will come (see...

    Elemental (Pixar - June 2023)

    Disney has not made a profit on any of their movies so far this year and very likely the rest of the year. That makes me really bummed out. I love Disney and especially their parks. I also love their movies and how they an effect of my kids. When I see them sing the songs but also I have goose...

    Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid

    I have been watching and reading comments about this movie for a couple of months. This movie will not break even period. It just cannot and I will give a some brief points why that is the case. Before I get into that, my wife and daughter saw this movie and she said it was good (but as good as...
