The internet says She Hulk was around $25 Million per episode.
Wow! what a waste! I did watch it; I already pay for D+ so it was "free" She Hulk was funny and silly but NOT worth $25 Million per episode!

YOU ARE TOTALLY CORRECT take that money and build attractions!

As much as you can trust the internet, here are some other costs per episode.

The Mandalorian = $15 Million
The Big Bang Theory (2019 dollars) = $9 Million
Westworld = $10 Million.
Fiends (2004 dollars) = $10 Million
ER (2009 dollars) = $13 Million

Blue Bloods = $1 million??? I had to check twice! One of my favorite shows!

She Hulk cost that much??. I don't hate it, but it was just meh, and I was really looking forward to it. What a waste.

Don’t you sign in when you watch?

DH has the subscription but when I go into D+ I choose my avatar and it keeps my choices and recommendations etc. So I assume they could analyse my viewing separate from his. Of course if not everyone has that kind of set-up then I guess it will go by the subscriber’s gender.

Nah, they're literally counting tweets.

My sign in, that's it. We watch tv together. Ok, she has some shows on Netflix, but still just one sign on.

Lol are they selling ads to themselves to juice their Direct-to-Consumer P&L?

That is hard to tell. Hulu w/ Live TV = actual broadcast commercials during Live or DVR shows, and then Hulu ads during on Demand. So, I can't recall if there have been more or less Strange World commercials on either side of the app.

I guess we'll see. I think it sells fewer tickets than Endgame, but inflated ticket prices and a skew towards 3D and PLF will push it over $2b gross.

I think it sells fewer tickets than almost anything. BP:WF's box office will be higher in the US. No one cares about Avatar. Unless it does well over $1b in China, its not getting to $2b.

The funny thing is a lot of YouTube content is relatively low budget so if that is the type of stuff is popular, why not just emulate it to some degree? Low risk, high reward.

I actually think that might be what ends up happening. Cheaper programming, reality shows, maybe a Disney game show. The same theme as the pivot made in parks after EuroDisney. They will need to find a way to make money before art.

This is a very popular refrain among people who are way too Online. Normal people don't "care" about any media properties, they just want to be entertained for a few hours. They enjoy spectacle.

This is what you sound like when you say "no one cares about Avatar."

Disney keeps it's D+ numbers somewhat confidential. All streamers do. Yes...they ALL must have an add supported teir in order to survive. Great!....wait....or is it? When they move to an add supported system, that will force Disney to do something it does not want to do. AdSales requires audience metrics and ratings data given to advertizers to set the add rates. Today....add agencies want EVERYthing to negotiate pricing.

This data cannot be held back and ALL streamers want to keep that "real" information propriatary. The streaming party is over for everybody and in general? Winter is comming for all of them.

And Apple has shown no signs of being in the Merger & Acquisition business (M&A). But if they did, there's a lot of low hanging fruit to buy before wanting to take on Disney and parks and cruise lines.

Apple makes a bunch of acquisitions, they just tend to be smaller no-name companies that have a technology that Apple wants to incorporate (for example the revamped Weather app in iOS 16 is built on Dark Sky, an app they acquired a couple of years ago). Tim Cook is a numbers and operations guy, if he wanted to make a move he would make a move. He has no reason to be interested in fulfilling Iger’s Steve Jobs fantasy.

I feel like Avatar's ship has sailed. Avatar was exciting back in the day for the animation. Today, it looks like every other Disney movie. While I am sure Water will be good, I don't expect reviewers to be wowed or consumers to go back multiple times. I am of course, going to be wrong, but that's my opinion today.
