Y'all see the big "losses" that Soul, Luca, and Turning Red had? Do you know why they had, on paper, huge losses? Just look at the CinemaScore. There ain't none. Those three movies did not get a wide theatrical release. Only in those countries in which movie theaters were open did they appear on the big screen. For all intents and purposes, they were released directly to Disney+.

Nielsen wasn't giving out top ten numbers during the time of Soul, but they were for Luca and Turning Red. Luca appeared in the Top Ten movies over 23 weeks for a total of 10 Billion minutes watched. That's why it was the most watched streaming movie in 2021.

Turning Red made the Top Ten 16 times for 8.5 Billion minutes streamed. Both with critics and audiences, they received high ratings.

So, when y'all trot out that "it lost money" and "it was bad" and "it didn't help D+".... y'all are just crazy.

It’s amazing the knots you twist yourself in to defend mediocrity.

I guess I'm the only one who liked The Good Dinosaur.

Don't feel bad, I really liked the live-action Pinocchio.

In my personal opinion, Soul is far from mediocre.

But look at that combo of words, personal opinion. Think everyone is forgetting everyone has their own personal opinions today

We live in a world where reality tv, the Kardashians, a dozen different real housewives shows, etc are watched by millions, I’ll never shame anyone for liking an average or even poor (to me) Disney/Pixar movie.

I’m not even a fan of Turning Red and I’ve probably watched it 3 or 4 times, it’s far superior to 99% of the nonsense on TV today.

Chapek thread is now movie thread. Hurray!

Rise of Skywalker

Hocus Pocus 2 does not hurt the brand, stuff like Live action Pinnochio does. Everyone I know who's seen it HATES it.

I liked it a lot, actually. Go ahead and use the Zoidberg meme on me if you want, but I really did like it. I personally have liked all the offerings in that genre. Admittedly some more than others, but I didn't hate any of them whatsoever.

P

Rise of Skywalker

Put your hand down. We're not supposed to like that movie.

 

[Jrb1979]

Since we are talking about movies now, IMO the best thing on Disney+ was the Beatles Documentary

 

[MisterPenguin]

Chapek thread is now movie thread. Hurray!

All ongoing threads eventually become the airing of personal grievances.

 

[DonniePeverley]

All in all this sounds like bad news for the theme parks.

 

[Br0ckford]

All ongoing thread eventually become the airing of personal grievances.

The festivus for the rest of us

 

[TwilightZone]

All ongoing thread eventually become the airing of personal grievances.

Would be funny if there was a personal grievances thread and it went offtopic to being about sunshine and flowers

He could not do worse than B.C. let's see what he does.

It's pretty amazing to witness how people refuse to rethink how they look at these numbers these days. The media landscape is changing drastically, the box office is not what it once was, and the way consumers view and access content is changing.

Theatrical was always on this trajectory, Covid simply sped along the process.

The question is if things will ever flip back to how they once were, or if only major blockbuster films have a chance during the theatrical window.

Don't worry I have the solution!

Did you miss the part where I said I also don’t pay close enough attention?

Guilty as charged

Uh, We had two decades worth of precedent for what he does.

It’s not going to be me, but I think someone should actually post a thread called Personal Grievances. It will get millions of posts and views.
