Thanks!
That’s the story…but I doubt this one because there was little to no effort involved and it was barely a blip. I bet they investigated alot of things then. Doesn’t hurt to ask questions.
As the story/legend goes…Iger has flirted with it for 15 years…quietly. Grain of salt though
That doesn’t mean there’s tons of money to be had on streaming…we’re 20 years into this and it’s still a struggle. 5 years ago Iger started telling Wall Street “but WE’LL be different…” that a frequent, but common mistake in the halls of money and power.
You’re only 29.5…that’s a long time, Helen-A….
This is 1000% true.
A lot of Disney defenders will say that WDW is already too crowded, that rising waters lifts all boats, etc., and that they can afford to lose a day or two of vacation days to the little cousin across town. But is that true? So much of the infrastructure (large number of rooms, internal transportation which is not easily reduced/removed) still relies upon the expectation that WDW is a vacation destination.
How so and which ones specifically?
Confidence in Disneys magic has waned significantly, especially with the quality of experience coming dangerously close to Universal Studios of the 1990s
I'm honestly surprised Netflix hasn't dropped a couple billion dollars in Southwest Texas for their own theme park and entertainment complex. They have enough interesting IP and could license other things not yet sucked up by the other parks. It wouldn't make sense for Disney or Universal to compete further with themselves, but another player could mix things up and that would diversify the revenue stream over there.
Looking at a D+ subscription at $7.99/mo or $79/yr, I can buy a years worth of D+ for taking my family of 4 to the theater to see 1 movie a year. D+ cannibalizes theatrical releases. The only thing supporting theatrical release is FOMO.
Did you see the new trailer for Mario dropped yesterday? This is not a typical Illuminations picture you can tell they upped the quality. Also as a fan I loved how this trailer showed:
Well the customers agree with you…because wakanda is 3+ weeks out…which means it’s gonna drop off the box office Cliff…well below industry estimates and half what the “everyone loves everything Disney everytime” movie pundits around here confidently insisted.
Their profitability/ad pull has shrunk dramatically for almost 15 years. They fire close to everyone.
You know Moana and dozens of other Disney movies were on Netflix before anyone had ever heard of Disney+, right? And that movies were airing on HBO and TNT and USA long before anyone had ever heard of Netflix?
The movie and the success of the rides/lands are completely separate. The existing rides in Tokyo are subpar, to put it mildly. At least one of those is coming here as a direct clone. The land itself, obviously, is immaculately themed. The DK coaster might be better than the Tokyo attractions, but it might not.
Sounds like their forte is episodic series at this point. With the collapse of tent poles maybe a pivot to more of that type of production and use it on D+Well the customers agree with you…because wakanda is 3+ weeks out…which means it’s gonna drop off the box office Cliff…well below industry estimates and half what the “everyone loves everything Disney everytime” movie pundits around here confidently insisted.
That’s 2 underperforming MCU “heavy hitters” in 6 months.
We still got avatar and layoffs at corporate, right?
