Exactly! Why is Disney losing so many subscribers ? Why did they also fire so many ESPN anchors ? Why are park visits so low ? Why are movie profits not happening if the content is so good ?
Lol go look at their earnings report. You want to stay in a bubble and refuse to accept Disney is getting bud lighted go ahead.
What would you do with those facts?
Will they accept the facts is the question.
LOL I have seen the earnings reports. Fatmanatee gave a good synopsis of them. Some Disney segments are struggling while others are doing fine. Nothing in the reports suggest that "the vast majority" of people have turned against Disney, as much as you'd like to believe that.
Yea fatmanatee just copy pasted what someone else wrote. Funny thing is how can you get an unbiased research on a biased site??
Are you denying Disney had a DEI agenda?
They lost subscribers most recently bc they lost rights to cricket broadcasts, so 4.6 million subscribers in India cancelled and presumably moved to the outlet that picked up broadcast rights. The ESPN layoffs (all 20 of them, and not all anchors) are a mixed bag of underperforming morning show hosts and analysts. Meanwhile, they just forked over a ton of money for Pat McAfee's show and they gave Stephen A Smith a big raise for his hot takes so I guess those investments had to be offset somewhere. Park visits are lower because guests complain about the costs and complexity of a Disney vacation, so they're sometimes reducing the number of visits or using that cost on cruises or trips to places like Europe, and you're welcome to read every single post on this forum complaining about these things if you need evidence of this. I already explained what's happening with the movies, but you seem content to ignore how streaming has upended the entire industry and changed everyone's decision making process on how they watch. Ticket sales are down about 50 percent from their peak in 2002, with a gradual decrease happening until 2020, when everything shut down and the way the vast majority of people watched movies was on a streaming service. They haven't recovered in large part because people are debating whether they should shell out upwards of 100 dollars or more to go to see a movie in theaters or wait three months for it to show up on their streaming service that costs around 10 dollars. I'll let you take a guess about how I'll be watching Guardians 3 but as a clue it comes to D+ on August 2.
Just look at all these excuses lol refuse to acknowledge that these consumers will not come back due to the policies that were enforced by Disney.
D+ hasn't been expected to make a profit and they've made this clear from the very beginning, they're operating at a loss to build a subscriber base, which is now at over 150 million accounts. None of this is new, many massive tech companies have operated at a loss for the same reason. Again, you're welcome to visit other threads that have repeatedly discussed this.
I have visitors other threads on other websites along with spoken with tech engineers.
337M global box office. Very disappointing.
No, I am not easily offended. You are welcome to believe whatever you need to so you can defend a company and their choices. I am going to stay here in reality, though.
Was also rated PG-13.
