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

[Trauma]

I edited my post to say that it was a joke to another poster who apparently understood it and responded.

Do you think everything is about you?

You have a history of doing it.

Your post wasn’t clear until you edited it.

Offer still stands you and your family are always welcome to dinner.

As more reviews have come in the Critics RT score has bounced around, and is now starting to go up -

I suspect it'll land in the mid-50s just other of the live-action remakes.

Speaking of critics, Richard Roeper just took a buyout offer from the Chicago Sun-Times along with about 30 others.

She made multiple comments that were interpreted as criticizing the original movie. A lot of people care passionately about this stuff so I'm not really surprised there was a negative reaction to them. I do think because we're Disney people it's a bigger "storm" here than in the world at large though.

She's also a Disney fan. Probably one of the biggest Disney fans cast in a princess movie so it's unfortunate that narrative ran wild.

Well the poster has a history of questioning my honesty. I’m the only one who brought up net worth, next thing you know they have a comment on that.

Forgive me for jumping to conclusions.

Well maybe this is a lesson not to automatically jump to conclusions on things. It makes you come across has overly aggressive for no reason.

Just to add to the sampling; Here's one tomorrow from a midwestern suburb during prime time. Make of it what you will....

Maybe it should be a lesson in questioning someone’s integrity, then acting shocked when future comments raise an eyebrow.

Is it weird that the front rows seem to be sold out for these.

Is that a thing now? We use to avoid the front row.

Well because its largely coming from an echo chamber that is fed by the media that keeps the story going. So it then gets inevitable discussed here, and rise and repeat. If it wasn't brought up so often here by those that think it'll have an impact then it wouldn't beN c c cvg h discussed and would largely die off here.

But that doesn't answer my question. If it's just this echo chamber, and the normies don't care, why does it matter? It seems to me that someone brings it up, the Zegler defence team swings into action, and the same points get hashed out again. If it's left alone, and no one responds, it dies off. It seems there's some white knighting going on.

She said what she said. It's going to make some people mad, others not so much. This kind of thing has been going on for at least my lifetime. Again, it's more amplified now that's why it's as important as ever to be careful what you say. Or more importantly how you say it.

Can I come to dinner if I promise not to discuss the double standard between Disney's movie business and Disney's theme park business where in their movie business the budget is seemingly unlimited with as many reshoots as is needed for a movie that loses money at the box office and no one remembers a month after its out of the theater VS. Disney's theme park business where the budget for an attraction is written in stone and when they realize they will run out of money they "scope cut" the cr@p out of an attraction that will be around for 20 years and instead discuss something safe like politics?

I believe it’s flared back up because all of the media coverage on the expected opening box office numbers is offering it up as speculation as to why the numbers are so low as well as Disney’s very atypical media campaign.

Incidentslly, I haven’t seen Zegler outside of a very controlled environment.

As to her comments, the tight leash Disney has her on (relative to Gadot) speaks to their confidence in how much either actress can be counted on to put the best public spin on this film.

Maybe the teenagers that clean the theater don't want to clean the first couple of rows?

Someone cleans your theater?

So the seats are not really sold then ?

A couple of these posts showing seat sales have had both front rows sold out.

Doesn’t that seem highly unlikely ?

This one is always very clean. Very comfortable also.

I've gone to movies where seats are suppose to be sold but no one shows up for the movie.

It does sound like you need someone to talk to.

Just be warned you might have to listen to my wife complain about the destruction of the parks for two hours.

Some people don’t like to sit in the front row. It’s too overwhelming for them up there.

How do you manage that because that sounds like my perfect theater experience.
