Boycotting is an action with a demand attached to it, where the boycott stops once the demand is matched. That’s imo not what’s happening here. With Disney, people just don’t watch stuff they don’t want to see as they are not interested in the product. That’s not a boycott, that’s customers abandoning a brand that doesn’t deliver anymore.

On the Nintendo Wii they released a game called "Epic Mickey." It was about Mickey getting forgotten by modern Disney and kids, so he ended up thrown into the realm of the forgotten creations. There he encountered Walt Disney's first creation (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit) who hates him for being Walt's special one. Over time Oswald forgives Mickey and together they try to use their own imaginations to repaint the dismal realm of the forgotten into a wonderful place of the happy memories. This would have made an absolutely awesome movie for the 100th anniversary. Instead we got lectures,white replacement, gender replacement, and bull crap that just threw away a grand chance to tell a grand story.

My family and I used to be really into Disney, back in the "Renaissance Era". I grew up singing along to Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc. with my sister, and everyone had Disney t-shirts and memorabilia. We took regular trips to Disneyland, had the entire library of Disney films, you name it. And even though I was an adult by the oughts, I still got into the Kingdom Hearts series of games. The amount of money we spent on all things Disney was well into the thousands of dollars, perhaps tens of thousands. Now? I refuse to spend a single dime on them. I actively avoid ANYTHING related to Disney, and so do the rest of my family. And we're not alone. Get woke, go broke indeed.

Disney threw out Hollywood's old playbooks because they thought they knew better. For all of film history the diminishing returns of sequels was WELL established. First movie great, Second gets less attention. Third (if there even is one) gets less. The concept of "Franchising" films is premised on ignoring that fundamental fact. Yes, with a loyal fanbase built in connected movies in an over-arching or repetitive well told story you MIGHT get a bit more of the audience to stick around for a bit longer (Harry Potter, LotR, James Bond). But all of those relied on courting fans and careful adherence to the source. They wanted to turn films into McDonalds or KFC. That might have worked. But they didn't follow what KFC or McD's does....a big mac is a big mac, you don't take away the special sauce or turn it into a veggie burger and hope the customer will just accept it. Why Disney thought they could break these rules....I'll never know.

Can we go back to male buddy action movies instead of the male paired up with one or sometimes several obnoxious, misandrist and highly ignorant women ? The main villain is usually a woman as well but because she's female she has to be a victim and the male hero is NEVER allowed to defeat the female villain it has to be the strong empowered women who beat up other women.

That doesn't seem very likely to me. Disney has an army of accountants, outside auditors, and likely is getting audited by the IRS every year. On top of which, it isn't a cash business. Virtually all of the money going into and out of the company is trackable. It really doesn't seem like a very good business for laundering money. I very much doubt the cartel is going to want to be associated with Disney, when they could be just intimidating owners of small laundromats.

Although there is one interesting report floating around regarding the leaks coming from the Disney Wish animators. While the known production budget on Wish is $200-250 Million. Reports from the animators are they only had around $75 Million to make the movie with. In a very short time frame. WHat was the rest used for? (Granted some can reasonably be attributed to music costs, Voice Acting and such. It still seems high). To contrast this. The new Toho Godzilla movie, that is doing gangbusters worldwide, only cost somewhere between $15-25 million USD to make. They will make back their production budget from the limited time, limited theater North American release this weekend. ANd it looks like what a $200 million movie should look like.

An empty theater isnt crazy. You can go to the biggest theater in many cities and unless they have a good matinee discount, the theater will be empty for the first few hours of the day, and even through the evening. The issue is that the empty theaters would be things like "Fuchk You It's January"-level rom-coms or horror flicks that played at the same time as an MCU release. You'd have people buying tickets for a Kathrine Heigel movie, and trying to sneak into Avengers Endgame. For THE biggest releases to be the empty theaters, in its first week, during prime hours on prime days... it's like going to Disney Land and all the rides with 4 hour waits had empty lines....oh wait

Cinemas have surprisingly little control of which films they get to show. The screens are programmed by distributors in collaboration with studios and there are all kinds of back-end wheeling and dealing in place. Assuming your local cinema is part of a cinema chain, your opinion amounts to nothing in a complex financial algorithm. If it's an independent cinema they'll have to compete with the chains for the biggest new releases, and that will mean a high upfront fee + the studio gets a bigger chunk of proceeds from ticket sales. The indie cinema will have a better idea about who their patrons are than you do, and a better idea of risk. You stated yourself that you don't go to the cinema anymore so why should they try to cater to you? On the whole family films are the safest bet (especially in markets outside the US). Truth is you'd have more luck contacting the studio responsible for Godzilla Minus One than your local cinema.

Wait a second. I read an article back in June where the author went through their releases going back to last year. He gave them every break, basically accepting their budget numbers even though we know they were low and their box office numbers even though we know they were high, and he concluded that they'd lost at least $900 million to that point. That was BEFORE Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, The Marvels, and Wish, each of which has lost not boatloads but supertankers of money. Yes, they get some of it back on tax breaks, but that's just spraying a can of air freshener at a sewage treatment plant. All the tax breaks in the world can't cover up that they've lost more than the GDP of several small countries. That doesn't include the downstream effects like if nobody sees the movie nobody buys the toys either. Perhaps those figures only include what they spent on the movies this year, which would mainly be marketing?

Then, they thought it doesn't matter who is making the film, as long as they follow the script Disney made based on those good movies. We could see this formula at work back 7-8 years ago, but they still had some talent back then to make up for the lack of creativity. They no longer have any talent left. All they have is a formula which doesn't work.

Thing is, it seems like Iger's following the now-popular model of treating every business as if it were a Tech company, and chasing inflated valuations, pumping up stock prices on speculation, and impressing Silicon Valley investors. Just like Tesla, a low, to mid, car company pretending it's a tech company and fleecing investors for billions and billions (having a value many times higher than the best company in their field). And just like Silicon Valley, this practice encourages growth and lack of profit, to the point that the growth is artificial and standing on shaky ground at best, and profit is actually astounding rate of losses. When the value of Disney was sky-high, they did not invest in themselves, or even others, they used that value and maneuvered it to swallow up the competition, and dominate the market (seemingly) and further grow their valuation. May be Iger's trying for "round 2", blinded by the money and success of the Silicon Valley style of business, or simply doing the level of due diligence that VC's do...ie none. OR...may be the angel investors that have their hands in ALL THE PIES, the NGO/Thinktank/Influence peddling "investment/capital houses" like Vanguard and Blackrock, simply have the bank, the means, and the will, to back up Disney in its pursuit of ESG-style governance.

Their infrastructure and assets are worthless if they can't produce the hits of tomorrow. If some other studio uncovers the next multi billion dollar franchise, then Disney are likely in a worse spot then when they started.

@Tyler_W
@Tyler_W 10 месяцев назад
I think you're being a little uncjaritable. They didn't "steal" IP. Most of them were stories in free domain, and they adapted outside source material. As anyone who's looked forward to an adaptation and was disappointed by the final result will know, there is absolutely skill and creativity required to pull off a successful adaptation. Say whatever you want about modern Disney, but over the broad view of their history, they've been extraordinarily good at adaptation, so much so that most people think of the Disney adaptation before the source material. By all means, give Disney all the lumps they deserve as a company, but let's not act as though they didn't earn their good reputation. Giving credit where it's due only highlights the abysmal depths of their current failure. Honestly, this might be a worse era for Disney than their pre-Renaissance dark age, and you can't fully appreciate that without fully contrasting it with its well-earned success in the past.

Disney as a company runs in cycles and have for quite a while. We are currently in their direct to DVD cycle which was about turning out tons of content as quickly as possible instead of focusing on creating a few high quality products. Usually that cycle ends with a change in leadership at the top of Disney. Bob Iger will eventually leave and my prediction is that the new CEO will most likely pull the plug on Disney+ which has forced Disney to dump billions into creating new content constantly for the platform and move to a model where they license out their current IP to other streaming services (which was always the smarter business path to go.)

I feel like Disney in recent years is best comparable to Wile E. Coyote. Think about it: they aren’t interested in anything other than their endless pursuit to -catch the roadrunner- make money. It’s like an obsession for them. But no matter how many times they try, they always fail. They go to all kinds of lengths, big and small, to succeed, but it always blows up in their faces. Sometimes they don’t flop until the very last second, and other times their plan is doomed from the start. And while they may try to throw blame on the -ACME products- audiences for their persistent failures, the real blame is on their own ineptitude. Not to mention, each and every failure of theirs feels more humiliating than the last. But the most tragic part of all? They never give up. They never learn anything. They’ll just keep digging themselves deeper. The biggest difference is that after all these years, Wile E. Coyote is still fun to watch. Recent Disney is no fun.

That's why the coyote is so slim. Disney, on the other hand, purchased all these *FAT* properties; then, instead of nourishing them and carefully breeding them, Disney simply stuck them in cages, injected them with toxic garbage (the "message"), and induced them to propagate sub-quality progeny (crappy sequels).

Nope. He goes on to state his accomplishment over theme park success and earning for hours. But, nothing about flop movies. Why would he? It would be his death sentence.

I'm sure Nintendo sees the writing on the wall and will be happy to take over the market of family friendly entertainment. They have the characters/IPs, they have created their movie division, their theme parks spread... As a father myself, I am absolutely diverting the attention of my kids towards Nintendo.

Plus Nintendo have actual talent in their ranks and no social agenda other than "fun for the whole family".

You know the most recent thing that happened in my country? We had this website everyone was using to download old movies for free (because those can't be found anywhere, not with the first dabing anyway). THEN EU cancelled it all like 10 days ago with with some new legislation of theirs, so that we would pay for Netflix (that's not even available in my country, you have to use VPN) and other streaming services, that don't have any of the old movies in their database, just the new woke films and shows that no one wants to watch. It feels like the age of dictatorship: either watch the new things, or go to hell. It's literally illegal to like something else. I wanna throw up.

There might be just some issues with copyright and such which is why you couldnt download it, after all nothing is free in life...but still! at least have it for sale? They don't seem to realize that we'll still pay/stream the old movies, and they'll make a ton of money from it too.

@@xxTheLocketxx Exactly my thought! Now people we'll continue to download, it'll just take more of their time and they'll be more prone to caught some well-crafted malware. I would be more understanding, if they at least provided us with an alternative, honestly. But it all just feels like only elites can thrive in our society. I would SO wanna see the computer of the person who initiated these new legislations, 'cause it looks like they're trying to bury something. xD

I like "Iron Man 3". It's not a perfect film, but it's a great journey for the character of Tony Stark relative to in-universe events. I'm not a comic book reader, so the Mandarin subversion didn't bother me, in fact that aspect reflected the un-reality of our times. My son loved all the suits.

It's a wonder that in their board meetings, someone hasn't stepped up and said, "So ... there's this truism going around on the internet, go woke, go broke? Anyone heard of that?"

Have any of you considered comparing how the Silent Hill movies affected that franchise kicking off its downfall, and how the same people from the first movie are getting another and already stated they would be adapting the story for modern day audiences. Also lotta good potential content to be had covering what Godzilla Minus One is doing versus what the American movies had been inflicting upon the franchise. Isbl crazy to me that that movie looks so good while supposedly costing 15 million.

Remember that the arthouse Argentinian director of La Cienaga, The Holy Girl and The Headless Woman, Lucrecia Martel, was being hit up by Marvel at one point who wanted them to direct a movie for them. She said that she turned them down flat, finding the idea absurd. Although if you are a studio desperately flailing around trying to find a female film director, you probably are just looking to hire anyone who fits the quota.

"Despot" looks a lot like Zod in the first Superman movie starring Christopher Reeves.

IronMan 3 isn't the worst thing ever. Tony dealing with mental illness was kind of interesting.

I'd rather rewatch Iron Man 2. At least that one had Scarlett Johansson.
