    Yep, once the hits start churning out, Iger basically gets a mulligan from the general public and gets to keep being "one of the good ones."
  2. JWR
    Textbook examples of how good word of mouth can propel a movie and how bad word of mouth can sink a movie.

    Remember when people were convinced that Elemental was going to be hurt by this thing moving back a week?
  4. JWR
    Because they can't stand the idea of caving to the talent and parting with their $20M+ salaries.
  5. JWR
    Yes, but I'm more referring to how Iger has basically made himself public enemy number 1 after being heralded as the guy who would "save Disney" when he came back.

    Put this into perspective: The Flash is going to make less money than John Carter. Even my most pessimistic prediction couldn't have seen that one coming.

    To think that 9 months ago, almost everyone was overjoyed by the news of Iger coming back. Funny how that's turned out...

    The thing that worries me about these strikes isn't how long they last or which shows get axed, it's what happens next. I'm concerned that we're all just going to go on with business as usual and that these studio heads will face no repercussions for this, looking for new ways to screw over their talent.

    This reads like a last minute act of desperation from the AMPTP.

    Not too shabby at all.
  11. JWR
    We can only hope this at least causes them to think twice.

    A fitting epitaph to this whole mess.
  14. JWR
    Probably. Still, this looks fun. Cautiously optimistic.

    It... sort of did. The important part is that Elemental quashed the narrative that Pixar is a dying brand and that audiences won't see original animation in theaters because of Disney+. Furthermore, this should give Disney more incentive to let their movies have long healthy theatrical runs.

    I think Coco was the last Pixar film (to get a full theatrical run) that cost under $200M ($175M).

    Of the three parties involved, I do expect the AMPTP to make the most concessions.
  19. JWR
    There are no "good ones" when it comes to CEOs.

    Yeah... As is usually the case, both parties are going to have to make concessions. The AMPTP is not going to walk away scott free, but this will probably not be complete victory for creators that some SAG and WGA members were hoping for.

    Nobody knows anything. Until we hear it straight from the actual people at the table, we should take it with a grain of salt.

    There's a difference between working fast and rushing a product
  24. JWR
    Fingers crossed that the deal is making some progress.

    I'll add onto this: Don't feel the need to inundate your audience with content. I get striking while the iron is hot, but every now and then, it helps when people have had time to miss a show/movie, so that there's more anticipation when the next one comes out. When your creators have time to fully commit to a project, it's more likely that the thing will turn out well.
