Disney’s Q1 FY23 Earnings Results Webcast - Wednesday, Feb 8, 2023

IMO they're probably going to shut the whole thing down (shopDisney.com included) and simply sell their merch entirely through third parties.

That doesn’t seem to be the way things are heading

What have you heard about the Disneystore?

can’t say exactly, but sounds like they realized some mistakes were made

Just now realizing that mistakes were made? Really.

Wow if Bob's big splash in the year of our Lord 2023 is that he should re-enter the brick-and-mortar retail space... woof.

I don't think that's entirely a bad idea, as long as it's targeted (No, not meaning Target!) and well-done. Spalshing Disney Stores in every remaining mall in every major city would be a horrible idea, but having some fun and whimsy in, say, 6-8 locations around the country (Including DS, that store is so devoid of life it almost smells like formaldehyde), with products of Disney quality of old? Sounds like a place many people would actually want to visit and spend money at. If it's the same cheaply made crap in the stores that you can order online? Forget it. Put some fun back into the stores, make them a little slice of the parks... just a taste... just enough to entice people to want to book a trip.

I dunno.

I'm assuming that if they were in 'international' the figures there would be much larger.

I'm sure the cost of each cruise ship is spread out over several years.

 

[Tha Realest]

The problem isn’t the lack of physical stores - its stuff like this.

There are more than 6-8 locations still operating currently.

I fortold this the day Disney bought Lucas films. I was only a matter of time.

There are only six stores that are not an outlet store.

The Iger-led restructuring is likely to be announced around the earnings conference date.

Disney Reorganization Looms Ahead Of First Earnings Report Since Bob Iger’s Return

With Disney set to report earnings on February 8, long-awaited restructuring and layoff plans are expected to be revealed in the coming days.

deadline.com

Layoffs are expected to be "minimal" compared to what other media companies have been dealing with.

I know it's far-fetched, but I wish one of the restructuring acts that will happen is selling off 20th Century Studios.

 

[Reemalfaryan]

An update to this - the earnings call will take place February 8th.

"The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) will discuss fiscal first quarter 2023 financial results via a live audio webcast beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. PT on Wednesday, February 8, 2023.

Results will be released after the close of regular trading on February 8, 2023."

And rightly so, since DLP hadn’t had any real investment over the past decades with - maybe - the exception of Ratatouille. Which WDW then later cloned in Epcot.

However, I was t aware that Shanghai was such a ‘dumpster fire’ so I’ll be sure to look into that.

It would only be rightly so if Disneyland Paris' additions were not an overpriced bad retheme of their RnR and a clone of Webslingers

That's why I said it's far-fetched. Quit being mean to me or I will report you.

What in the name of Sheev Palpatine's behind is that nonsense?

Are they using drones all the time - or was that for a special event?

Disney should be utilizing drones for it's entertainment years ago.

It's a new show for Paris' 30th anniversary. Will run from now till May.

But they did a smaller version of the drone light show for the Avengers Campus (Paris) grand opening. Pretty much a test run. Was very cool to watch (online at least lol).
