A Spirited Perfect Ten

I guess any time a male actor loses or gains weight, or lifts weights in order to fit and commit to a role we should call it body shaming as well.

Disneyland parking is currently full. Looks like people want to get in their Tom Sawyer island and big thunder ranch before they close.

More to due with blackouts being lifted today than an outpouring of love for ROA

I'm sure many CEOs would love to have "subpar" films which gross $1.4B

The big problem with Iger's film strategy is that more and more films need such high box office grosses. Ignoring the whole backend perpetual loss issue, Star Wars: The Force Awakens likely only started to become profitable for Disney after hitting $1 billion at the box office. That is an insane number, and while it was expected for this film can that sort of performance be sustained through the next five films? Disney is very much nearing the point where $1 billion at the box office will still be a loss.

Wow, sounds like he pulled that directly from these boards. Screen name?

So..... people are really whining and crying over Disney extending the Osborne Lights?

It's the internet. People whine and cry over just about anything...

Its not the first time a post on the Motley Fool sounds like it was taken right from here.

There's not really Iger's strategy so much as the current Hollywood strategy.

It is pretty much Iger's strategy that Hollywood has followed.

To help steer this thread back toward Spirit's musings (the subject in the first place), I propose that your next thread have a 'This is Spinal Tap' reference. "This Spirit Thread Goes to Eleven"

Based on what was TFA only profitable after $1B?
