$175M budget. Do you think it created or retained enough D+ subscriptions to make it worth that?

I would say most of them don't get it. Even Iger to some extent. There is a reason many of them think the parks are for carnies. I know I bring up other parks a lot but I will say at least their CEO's, and that includes Universal understand their parks for the most part.

that was set ablaze.Kiri Hart was associated with the movie, and once I saw her name in the end credits, I knew immediately why I didn't care for the movie one iota when I was watching it.
Would've been a real hit if Chapek and Daniel had let it go to theaters. Absolutely would've been a hit.
Chapek hired Kareem and last promotion of KD, Chapek moved Kareem to top job.

Yes, that's a quote.

Obviously the film did something to offend you two, but clearly resonated with audiences in some form given the more aggressive merchandising you're seeing 8 months after its release in the parks. If it wasn't moving the needle, that wouldn't be happening.
The worst trend of the current trolling internet era is acting like critical opinion means nothing, or even worse, is somehow indicative of some content actually being bad.

That ain't gonna happen anytime soon, he's already busy at Skydance Animation alongside John Ratzenberger.

Putting the theatrical franchise on ice for six years is ridiculous.

To be fair to Kareem, Bob C was the only reason he ever got the position he was in.
Nobody else in their right mind would have made that move.
He may be a smart and competent man (I'm sure he is) but for Disney, it was like putting a plumber in charge of the electrical wiring you're having done for your new house.

Reframing movies as streaming series is actually wise, allows time to tell the story, and keeps the iron really darn hot, actually.

We're not trying to win a golden statue, mate, we're trying to sell subscriptions and action figures.
Chapek wanted a bean counter and he chose Kareem Daniel.
If "a real hit" equates to about $38 million in total domestic box office, then yes, it would have been a hit.

Yes, one projection has it, at the high end, topping out at just over $100M domestic.

TURNING RED!?
Actually, it would've been a real barnburner. You can't have it both ways, say "Pixar has lost the way and has no heart," and then dismiss something that is full to brimming with heart, like this, and act dismissive about it. It would've been a hit. Soul would've been a hit. Luca would've been a hit. And that momentum would've made Lightyear big.

May I acquaint you with the term "excess inventory"?

Agreed. The reason for the quantity is to fill D+ with content. IMO they need to start putting more of the Fox content on to Disney+ as well more older shows and movies from before 2000
Well, no one accused her of being the brightest bulb on the string. Except maybe Kathleen Kennedy.
