#4 It's said sui@ide is a very impulsive act. Dizney seems to be a determined exception.

#8 It takes a very special kind of managerial incompetence to screw up a legendary franchise like Disney. What's saving them now, more or less, is that about two thirds of Disney's shares are owned by "institutional investors" (think Blackrock) who wouldn't invest a penny in a movie like "The Sound of Freedom" if there were a mathematical certainty of a 100% return.

#9 I saw a picture of what they have done to SnowWhite in the live action reboot. It looks like the worst production that I have ever seen. This ranks below anything starring Ernest or Larry The Cable Guy. I would have to watch it to compare it to Pat The Movie and a movie I once watched starring Joe Piscapoe and Treat Williams as undead cops. I suppressed the title. I won’t be watching it. Too much trauma in my past already.

#10 Yeah, first they said the pictures of the "non-dwarves" were fake, then they said they were just not "official."

They have another stinker on their hands, they know it, but they can't help themselves.

#11 "It takes a very special kind of managerial incompetence to screw up a legendary franchise like Disney."
Why you say this.
From perspective of Disney runners, Disney is not screwed. It is doing its propaganda job.

#12 I J and Dial of Destiny probably had a cost of $350M to $500M including promotions. It obviously takes more box office than that to achieve breakeven because theaters get some of the box office so $800 is a possible break even but I suspect the point is lower, say $650M.

Of course the new Snow White Movie may end up being a bigger loss than Dial of Destiny
