    I don't really remember that but Disney's pre covid successes did spoil us in a way
  2. cannastop
    Well the pandemic was kind of a once every 100 years thing. I don't think there will be another disruption like that soon.
  3. cannastop
    Not my point at all. Do you think Pocahontas was intentionally bad? I mean there was the story that The Lion King was seen as the lesser project at Disney at the time. My point is not every movie can be great
  4. cannastop
    I'm thinking more that the "make good movies" strategy is like the "just win every election" strategy for political parties. Untenable to have them all be winners.
  5. cannastop
    Might be obvious but I think The Wild Robot is going to win this
  6. cannastop
    The problem is "just make great movies" isn't the soundest strategy. Like do you think they chose to have declining returns on hand drawn movies after The Lion King? I do think Pixar might make good movies in the future though. Not sure about WDAS but Zootopia 2 is something I might want to see. I'm not too optimistic about Marvel though. And Star Wars is dead.

    $46 million in Japan for an American comic book movie is really great. That depends on if the figure on BOM is correct though
  8. cannastop
    A $100 million marketing budget? That seems pretty high for this movie.

    This has half the viewership of Elemental.
  10. cannastop
    Yeah I mean Elemental did pretty nicely in the ratings on Disney plus and it had I think 2 months of theater exclusivity.
  11. cannastop
    $2 million Friday

    Does this refer to Barbenheimer? Or something else?

    I've even seen some comic book fans (as in nerds who actually read comic books) defend this decision to have a female silver surfer.

    Disney stock is 3% down today after this news. I'm going to guess that's the few people who thought Peltz would be elected dumping their shares.
  16. cannastop
    I really don't like how this new movie looks for some reason. Oh well, I wasn't really planning on watching it anyways.
  17. cannastop
    I feel like the ceiling for Disney's animated originals might be $500m WW going forward, based on Elemental's performance. Always a chance to be proven wrong though.
  18. cannastop
    yeah the activists were spending millions of dollars too.

    I was listening to the shareholder meeting and someone noted under "proponent speaking" was grilling Iger on "radical gender ideology" so I turned that off.
  20. cannastop
    Peltz literally said he wasn't trying to do that. But some people think if Peltz got on the board, Iger would leave earlier.
  21. cannastop
    I figured I only heard about it because I was in tune with movie news. I think that it was overblown in many ways: The chance of Peltz getting on the board and the impact of Peltz should he get on the board.
  22. cannastop
    Also BlackRock, T. Rowe Price, and Norway's sovereign wealth fund according to an article I saw on CNBC. So right now I am thinking Peltz won't prevail
  23. cannastop
    Honestly I get why. Disney's movie division is pretty fucked. Streaming is a money sink. TV Networks in general are on the decline. Their only real highly performing part to them is the parks, which I guess if the parks carried Disney through the 70s and 80s, they can do so now... Do I think Peltz has any good ideas to fix these issues? Of course not.
  24. cannastop
    A useful comparison for the Pixar re-releases (Soul, Turning Red, Luca) will be the Shrek 2 release on April 12. Some people say the Pixars face planted because they were bad movies but if Shrek 2 also underperforms it might just suggest that re-releases aren't a good business. I mean even the biggest re-releases only make $10 million DOM. 'Course this is still assuming we get Shrek 2 numbers.
  25. cannastop
    Well it is in Germany so I guess it's different there.
