January 2027. The governor is elected every four years with a limit of two consecutive terms.They also have no way of knowing when there is a new governor, they would be willing to help Disney.

Going off memory here, but it is community development districts that require unanimous approval. Without checking, the state run districts may be able to happen without that level of approval. I’m doubtful even something like the North Broward Health District would have ever achieved that high bar.Assuming Disney approves the new district. I'm pretty sure I've seen it cited here multiple times that the district must be approved by the people in that district. What happens if Disney and the people they let live there just go "Nope, we don't approve a district with the Governor's appointed people."
BC made his statement as a threat. Regardless of how anyone views BI, BI is more tactful in his presentation and understands diplospeak.Stating a contrary goal is not a threat.
Literally zero chance that Chapek wrote that statement. The wording would be done by someone in their communications/PR department.BC made his statement as a threat. Regardless of how anyone views BI, BI is more tactful in his presentation and understands diplospeak.
Obviously, you are unfamiliar with lobbyists. LOLPerhaps you missed where I typed "politically, mind you".
"“Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law. Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that. We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.”

That is threatening direct action against the State of Florida. It is their "goal" to see that the law is repealed and struck down? WTH?
What did he threaten to do to the state? He said they oppose the bill and would work to have it overturned? In conjunction Disney also announced they would end political contributions in FL. Last I checked in America opposing a piece of legislation was not considered a threat against the state. If he said they would work to have the state constitution revoked and wanted to appoint Mickey Mouse as King of Florida that would be a threat against the state. Threatening to pull political contributions is not a threat against the state that’s a threat against politicians. You donate to their campaigns if you support what they are doing and stop if you don’t. Basic concepts.BC made his statement as a threat.

“I only meant domestic box office that was collected before the stroke of midnight, Dec 31.”It’s not wrong, it’s domestic.

Overseas money doesn’t count? What about the fact the Lightyear budget was 3x The Bad Guys?
Disney’s animated performance compared to Universal is abysmal. How do you think the Elemental / Wish is going to do compared to The Super Mario Bros movie and Trolls 3?

Is Avatar a Disney animated film? I get you have indefensible positions and bad facts but have a little more self respect as you try to move the goalpostsIf we want to talk worldwide, how did Avatar do Internationally? If Disney was suffering so badly how did the film make billions worldwide? You can cherry pick whatever stats you want to make your case but there’s simply not enough real evidence to show Disney is greatly suffering from this incident.….but it makes a good story![]()
Says the guy who pops in to make nonsense claims about the District…Is Avatar a Disney animated film? I get you have indefensible positions and bad facts but have a little more self respect as you try to move the goalposts
Technically it is. It had about as much live action as Wall-E but I know what you mean, it wasn't a kids animated movie.Is Avatar a Disney animated film? I get you have indefensible positions and bad facts but have a little more self respect as you try to move the goalposts
Why does the film have to animated? So the plan is to boycott just animated films to punish Disney for being ”woke” but then shelling out $20 for blue aliens. So should we just boycott Fantasyland too but it’s ok to visit Star Wars Land?Is Avatar a Disney animated film? I get you have indefensible positions and bad facts but have a little more self respect as you try to move the goalposts

How is that a threat? If one of the options presented was to get the legislature to repeal the law then it suggests working with/lobbying efforts. Hardly a threat. And supporting a challenge to the law isn't a threat, either. It's stating a belief that the law is unconstitutional in its current form and that a legal challenge would succeed. Even if you consider that a threat, it's within their Constutional rights to oppose the law and certainly doesn't justify the actions taken by the government to attempt to punish them for exercising their rights.Perhaps you missed where I typed "politically, mind you".

Waiting out DeSantis doesn’t mean doing nothing, those of us saying to wait out DeSantis are simply saying to fight this in the courts and behind closed doors, not publicly, if DeSantis can’t use it as campaign fodder it becomes a much easier win for Disney.I'm not sure how the "Wait out Desantis" approach works. So, they accept the loss of their district, and then taxes increase like 25% in those two counties until a new governor comes in? I can't think they accept a district they have no say on in hopes they can dissolve it and put a new one in a few years later.
A legal challenge in court is not behind closed doors.Waiting out DeSantis doesn’t mean doing nothing, those of us saying to wait out DeSantis are simply saying to fight this in the courts and behind closed doors, not publicly, if DeSantis can’t use it as campaign fodder it becomes a much easier win for Disney.
You really don't get it. People need to learn from the great speakers instead of opening mouth and inserting foot. How something is presented is very often more important than what is presented.What did he threaten to do to the state? He said they oppose the bill and would work to have it overturned?
