Run a business selling what you believe to be high quality goods/services, but sell poorly.
In truth, it’s execs within the studio’s willfull ignorance, exploitation & neglect. They know they can offer better and that better will Infact sell more & have a more positive influence, but they deliberately choose not to out of their own nonsensical mindset/dumb choice and because they know they can get away with it. Ridiculous. Hoping they won’t be able to sooner than later
More like wherever they feel they can get a quick, easy buck, regardless of the ramifications it has within the bigger picture & legacy wise.

So, yeah. Reward people for their stupidity.
Do you know any corporation on the planet that would not take the "easy" cash (as if any cash is actually easy) their consumers are willing to give?
All studio heads are risk adverse as much as possible… they all go with the less risky as much as possible…. I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen great original stories in the theater that flop…. If people want more original content then show it with your wallet… but people rarely do
Is that not the concept of a premium brand?
Even "premium brands" take the easy cash money route many times. I mean how many "premium brands" release a new model that looks and functions just like the old model and consumers still buy it?
You think Apple doesn't think that you're talking about them? You're a marked person.
Well I was thinking more about fashion brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, etc. But yeah Apple is the same, but that is par for the course with tech companies.
Yeah, it's all about remakes and reboots and sequels these days. Though, I imagine it's hard to tell how well an original live action movie would do in theaters nowadays when we get so few of them.
Well good thing that Disney is releasing two new original movies this year in Hoppers and Hexed.
Well good news for you….Is This Thing On just went wide through Disney’s Searchlight pictures
Now I am getting ads for the next iMac...thanks.
Well, here's hoping they're successful!
Well first Disney has never put out anything that was wholly original and not an adaption of something. Everything comes from something else, whether directly adapted or inspired by something like books, plays, music, TV, etc.
They made the right call in making more merch, sure. And yes, the advertising & marketing of the remake’s theatrical release and the merchandise push in general helped further bring awareness of Stitch as a character/brand. There’s absolutely no denying that. But I wish we could see a split data sheet that shows the sales numbers of specific versions of the character/film. I wanna see which one sells more. Don’t care if the results don’t fit with my personal views, I’d accept either result as-is, it’s simply the reality, I’m just curious to find out which one is selling more.
