Disney is a struggling company. I don’t see an end in sight.

That is debatable depending on your point of view. Pixar has had 6 releases since his departure, and again depending on your point of view, only 1 of them was considered a "bomb". The other 5 were seen as either critical or audience successes or both.
Lasseter wasn't some magical audience whisperer that some keep claiming he was, so that nonsense needs to stop.

Thank goodness I didn’t made that thread. Also, let’s just calm down and let Disney try to change strategies to turn things around. After all, they laid off a lot of problematic employees so there’s a chance that Disney will turn things around for the next few years. So, give then some time. And I agree that Warner Bros have more problems than Disney does.

A lot of commentary about Disney releases, yet, there is one upcoming that is not getting attention.
I used to respect John Lasseter, but now I know that he’s a predator, a wuss, a coward, and a loser.
Disney needs to reduce costs. Indy at 300 million is ridiculous, break even is 800
Million.
Mermaid cost 250 million.
He brought up some great points with the box office numbers…. Where did he go wrong in your opinion?

His math seems to pencil out, and is grounded in reasonable industry sources.
It's not like the movie industry is brand new, it's been around for 100 years. If a film has a budget of $200 Million, it needs to get to $500 Million to break even depending on the domestic/overseas box office mix, etc.
I get it that he seems like a typical Clicky Baity YouTube guy who may not vote for the approved candidate. But math is math.

Again, I don't know him or watch his stuff. I only watched that one video that someone linked to in this thread.
From that one viewing, he seems like a typical Click-Baity YouTube guy, but they all sort of do to me now. Even some old favorites of mine that used to be normal now have these crazy wild headlines and zany graphics that misrepresent what their video even is. (Scotty Kilmer, etc.)
I think the only YouTube videos that don't seem Click-Baity to me any more are the old Julia Child's The French Cook shows from WGBH. I mean, how can you claim Click Bait over an episode entitled "French Onion Soup" where Julia makes... French Onion Soup.

The video is garbage, and I go into detail in the Newton thread. It's illustrative, however, that this one video has shown up in numerous threads from multiple posters - there's an audience that's very eager to credulously consume and amplify whatever churns out. It's shockingly effective.

Disney Stock Gets a Downgrade After Analysts Cite These Five Worries ---Barrons
Any economists out there who can explain what this means ?
Any economists out there who can explain what this means ?
This means one analyst for one financial services company, in their opinion, thinks that Disney stocks will remain low for the near future.
Meanwhile, a handful of other well-known financial services companies are still recommending a 'buy' since they believe the stock is cheap now and will go up in the long run.

And their primary concern was the feasibility of ESPN being a standalone streaming service.
