"El Gran Magnifico"
Mr Flibble is Very Cross.
The other danger here is it’s been 13 years. I think a lot are going to view this as a reboot rather than a sequel.

This feels like Disney animation forgot what happened the last time it tried to branch out into the adventure genre with "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" or "Treasure Planet."
Is there a legitimate source for this? Because I can't find one, only blogs I've never heard of citing anonymous sources.

Guess there's been an antitrust lawsuit filed having to do with the ESPN portion. Don't 100% understand the legalities but here's the article that cam across my Google this morning.
Disney Hit With Antitrust Suit Over Live-Streaming TV Prices
YouTube TV subscribers take issue with Disney's ownership of Hulu and ESPN, which they say has allowed the company to drive up prices across the market.

Metrics are needed not only for industry purposes, although that’s part of it. They’re needed so that it’s clearer on a social level when a feature or series has achieved something like blockbuster status, which in turn drives more viewers to a title. It’s partially a question of curation and hype, but it also solidifies when a studio is producing meaningful work (or what audiences are finding to be meaningful).
Avatar 1 made $58M on its recent rerelease. That's a movie that people can easily rewatch in their homes.

Meh. Remember when Wall Street thought streaming was the answer to replacing cable?

Interested to see what comes out of it, Iger must have a solid idea already of what needs to be done.
Netflix has to report their quarterly profit/loss, just like Disney. They were severely punished earlier this year by Wall Street for missing financial goals. This is what turned Wall Street against all the streamers. They're not looking at subs any more, but the streamers' profit/loss. And that's what hurt Disney this past quarter. Even though its streamers are growing with subs at a good rate, it had a huge loss in the quarter, which, theoretically, was supposed to be its peak loss anyway, but, the sheer quantity of the loss shocked Wall Street.

People who say Iger is just as bad as Chapek clearly never went to Disney pre-pandemic.
The fact that Iger acknowledges that Chapek was killing the soul of Disney and this upcoming town hall meeting gives me so much hope. Change is coming ya'll
No. I watch recorded shows on Hulu, and you get to see the national commercials that aired with the broadcast (and fast forward thru them). And I saw quite a few ads for Strange World.
The anecdotal differences between those who've said they've seen ads and those who don't is likely due to the content they watch. It's unlikely that there will be a Strange Worlds ad on L&O:SVU but definitely on Rick & Morty.

What change made was conceived and executed entirely during Chapek’s tenure?

It will clearly do well, but there is no where near the perfect storm the first film had. The biggest advantage they have is that it is now a Disney property - basically, they have cleared the slates of any other major titles it would have had been up against if Disney had not purchased Fox and it had some actual competition. If there were, say, a Marvel film opening up around that time, it would be facing a far different landscape.
You are correct, though - that this is not going to get repeat viewings like the last one, and it's not going to be this "wow you have to see this new technology!" cultural event that drew everyone and their grandmother into theaters specifically to see this new fangled digital 3D tech. When you add on the fact that beyond it's technical merits, the original film has very little character recognition or anything else today (almost no one has been waiting a decade just to see what the "next chapter" holds) it is difficult to see it following a similar trajectory of growing the audience versus the steep drop off it will likely have, like most films.
No, they don't. They all report their streamer numbers in their quarterlies because Wall Street would get very nervous and punish them for hiding that.
Disney was always advertising their sub numbers, until last year when Chapek decided they'd stop. But that lasted one quarter. They went back to reporting their sub numbers.

The creator said it hasnt found its audience and the article literally showed these numbers as being lower than expected. Not sure what more you want.
The creator of the show isn't a good source for you?
