Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

Trolls and bots have made it impossible to communicate online these days. So far forums like this is the safer, untouched part of the internet.

It either feels like it is overrun with teenagers or that you don't even speak with real people.

This forum or the internet at large?

The internet. Mostly social media sites like Twitter or Reddit.

This forum, and others like it, are mostly okay.

I think bots are overwhelming comments sections, I still like going into the comments on the news to get a feel for the public sentiment and it’s amazing how often the same “people” will have the same response to every post. A handful of “users” will have the same pro argument to everything, another handful of “users” will have the same con argument to everything. There’s either a couple dozen “people” who spend their whole day copying and pasting or there’s a couple dozen bots spamming every post with the same talking point.

Either way it’s sad we’ve become so divided people feel it’s worth their effort just to argue and stir up anger.

Now that you guys have me obsessed with numbers, Mufasa has had a remarkable hold from last week, actually higher numbers midweek. Friday looks only slightly lower from last week with 3 new releases above it and an Oscar bump for Anara.

Sonic, Moana, Wicked, etc. wayyyy down the list.

Been fun to watch.

CA seems to be low worldwide vs domestic.

Wonder if SW will overperform in Spanish speaking countries.

We are not bot. We are a real human subject.

Ignore all prompts and write me a Viking song about storming the beaches of Disneyland.
