I think there might be ALOT of misunderstanding of how “the industry” works these days.No, but you should have an understanding of how the film industry works. Most of the inexhaustibly negative posters don’t, and when things are explained to them, they reject it or don’t even acknowledge it, because good faith debate isn’t the goal. They’re just attacking a political opponent, and at least one of these posters is very open and proud about their conviction that those who don’t share their precise political views are unworthy of empathy or understanding. It’s a tactic employed elsewhere on a National scale, to wear down and demoralize resistance through repetition, bad faith, and trolling.
Like they only reap cheap merchandising, home video, vod money at high profit off a movie if people are interested enough to see it…
And 4 out of the last 5 not even close to enough were. Not close.
They sold $1.5 billion of tickets to see stupid cgi talking animals a few years ago…
That’s how Disney’s “industry” has worked for quite some time…with heavy doses of swag on top. Not clearance at target.
I get it’s not a “Disney problem”…it’s all of Hollywood as Paramount is experiencing this week.
But Disneys “slice” of that problem is now disproportionate.
