I can't remember, did it come out on streaming the same time?

Came out in April but the poor showing had it streaming by May, the quick turnaround is what you are remembering.

Curious how much Disney lost this year, obviously no way to get an accurate count but I'm guessing min 500m.

Did anyone watch their White Men Can't Jump remake?

The parks are losing money I'm pretty sure and their star wars hotel lost a ton I thought. Their new park they opened in China is losing a ton

They have positive earnings for the trailing 12 months.

i dont care how they cooked the books to come up with that. in movies they lost over a billion. if you can find any hits in there to counter those losses, then be my guest.

and the funding for them will keep pouring in

because the point of propaganda isnt a direct financial return

Elemental ended up a wash, most likely. It had good legs.

Gunn is hoping Aquaman 2 flops. Wouldn't be surprised to learn the reshoot budget he ordered tested worse than the original cut.

How could Gunn order reshoots that close to release? Reshoots happened well before he took over. Oh I guess he allowed 5 days of reshoots which was the third round wtf. Before Gunn coming on they had already had 2 sets of reshoots lol

80s and 90s Disney would like to have a word with you. Their movies were absolute beasts (pun intended) for ROI back when they gave a fuck about entertaining people instead of moralizing to them. Shit, they were still going strong with Frozen 2.

The market for bread and circuses is only going to go up as the depression gets worse, same as last time. A company that wanted to make money instead of playing woke games would have a good shot at coming out as one of the big players if the economy recovers.

Dailywire is trying to do that and just launched a kid/family streaming service that doesn't try to spread an agenda.
