Disney doesnt have much problems selling to girls. The princess line really helps and that's where, I believe, WDAS main strength is in, fairy tales that have strong appeal to girls.
Disney bought Marvel to plug that gender gap.
Going back to BO expectations though. Yeah I had BH6 doing close to 250 so maybe my expectations were high. However, I'm not disappointed. Disappointing would've been WiR numbers. And given the BO doldrums so far this year, I believe BH6 did well enough.
