Has
@Casper Gutman been by to tell us that this movie is secretly a tremendous success and that anyone saying otherwise is a Right-wing YouTuber who lies for clicks?
In the Newton thread it was pretty definitively proven that the video in question absolutely was lying for clicks. Your attempt to nitpick the debunking got corrected by a number of posters who know how businesses work and then you never came back to the thread.
I’ll make a number of statements to clarify my position:
1) Dial of Destiny will underperform
2) Several Disney films have underperformed in the last year or so
3) This is not unique to Disney - every studio has seen significant portions of their slate underperform
4) This is due to a complex web of factors that have created an unstable box office environment that has not found a new normal
5) What that new normal looks like is not clear
6) The box office has been particularly harsh on original animation
7) Disney is navigating the unstable environment as well as, if not better then, the other major studios
8) Hollywood numbers are intentionally vague and the box office/ budget equation is a children’s toy, so anyone making definitive declarations, particularly of massive losses, should be viewed with a particularly critical lens
9) The studios are set up in a way that it is VERY rare that they actually lose money on a film, though it is slightly less rare in the current unstable environment
10) Disneys difficulties are being taken out of context and exaggerated for political reasons
11) This is largely being done by a lucrative, loud network of culture war TV channels, YouTubers, political commentators, and politicians who profit from rage at a common target
12) the posters incessantly rooting for Disney to fail so their political tribalism can be validated are immensely tiring
