SPOILERS: Snow White live action (March 21, 2025 release)

[Disney Irish]

Is there anything you can’t argue?

“Pulling the ads” is nod to the linear world where they would kill the ads on Monday morning if a movie flopped opening weekend. It’s standard practice. It didn’t mean the ads the week before during kids shows or sports didn’t already run.

The result is the same: you cut your losses

I’m aware of where the term came from.

This ain’t the linear world anymore though, that is the point. So the old rules don’t apply here across the board on all ad platforms the same. Ad buys for social media and the like for example are different. You’re an analog soul living in a digital world and expecting everyone else to continue using the same analog rules you’ve used when they’ve moved on to new rules. Just doesn’t work that way.

I still see ads in streaming and cable. Maybe some geo-locations get more than others.

I think it’s same across most platforms though. I expect the same ads until next week. And depending on how the second weekend does we’ll probably see a dramatic drop in future ads next week when all the existing ad buys will likely have ended.

I wasn’t suggesting it was a linear world…so your pretentious lecturing is misplaced as usual. It’s certainly not that world…because then Disney made enough revenue off fees and ads to finance the other parts of their empire…unlike now where they scrap to break even and have content costs trouble on the stream that will never be solved - which is why about 5 of y’all on the movie threads are now insistent on propagating the myth that box office flops make money forever on Disney plus.

There is zero reason to believe they can’t discontinue further ads. That has nothing to do with a “linear world”. Nuance is just beyond your reach

You know they have lawyers and like money, right?

Just focus on the next flop…we have a whizz bang start to 2025 so far

That would be limiting future ads buys, that is not “pulling an ad”. A completely different thing. “Pulling” something is when you pull an already bought and paid for product off the market, and I just don’t see that happening.

They will complete whatever ad campaign they already paid for. And on the rare chance it picks up in the coming weeks, not at all saying it will but on the off chance it does, they will do more ad buys at that time but not before.

I don't believe there will be any significance future advertisement purchases until it heads for D+

Completely agree, I was just giving a scenario where I could see another buy while still in theaters even if I don’t think it’ll happen.

And there is zero reason to believe they would completely discontinue any ads already bought and paid for just because that is what would have happened 15-20+ years ago on linear, ie ads for this week will continue to be played.

Not to mention that all future ad buys would be for digital and streaming. So its not like they are not going to market the film in the future, even if they limit further ad buys for theatrical.

So how about we just end this, and just agree to disagree.

I've seen 4 Snow White ads today (one on live cable and three streaming on Peacock). They aren't pulling ads.

Contracts and money has already been paid on ads. Why would they pull paid for ads?

Can anyone who has seen it tell me if the apples wins? If so, I might go check it out.

You guys go too fast.

All the apples die at the end. So does anyone win?

 

[UberMouse]

For the ones in the back... They will not be spending any additional funds on ads. If they have pre-paid for ads, those will either run, or be credited towards future ads (dependent upon contractual agreement).

It’s been replaced with a rotten tomato.

Can we attract more audiences if they add a scene of Ms White and the fellows of shorter statue setting fire to a Tesla ?

Some interesting details.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

felt like it had an identity crisis on whether it wanted to be a whimsical, old fashioned fairy tale or whether it wanted to be a more grounded, modern and realistic story.

Fair. I kept getting flashes of “rom-com” here and there, but not consistently.

I loved “Princess Problems,” but at the same time, was surprised it was there.

Now that I’ve seen those guys, I’m happier with the CGI.

Anyone see Rachel Zegler's other horror movie, Y2K? It came out last December. It's 1999 teenagers are partying. At the stroke of midnight the computers and other technology go crazy. Rachel has to battle rogue robots and vhs tapes.
