The Spider-Man films not all being available on the service is especially retarded. I know Sony's involved but come on, drop some cash and split the profits if that's what it takes. You still can't watch No Way Home on the service. Hell, even Homecoming's not on there!
It's possible that Disney might have committeed securities fraud when Igor conflated Reedy Creak and Disney.
Part of me wonders if Iger wanting to butt-heads with DeSantis is because he still wants to run for President? Defeat the “big bad governor” while becoming a household name somehow earns him his place as POTUS? In any case, we have more egos than common sense right now.
Ffs, it's not even a decade old yet.
They did announce one, but they haven't said anything about it in years. The release date is currently in 2024.
Putting aside making a businessman CEO president after Trump's presidency and then Bloomberg's giant failure in 2020 aside, Disney is the one company on Earth that has no chance of getting out of this situation. Part of their problem is that Desantis remembers that the government actually has power over corporations. Corporations have defanged this power for decades now by threatening (and often following up on it) to leave the U.S. and go to China or elsewhere so they don't have to be subject to being governed, but Disney is the one company that can't do that. Fifty years ago they began the most ambitious entertainment project ever, building an amusement park metropolis in Florida, and now they're stuck. You cannot pick up Disney World and leave. You can't threaten that if Desantis keeps it up you'll pick up the whole operation and take it to Texas and cripple Florida's economy. You can't just abandon it, it's the center of your corporate empire. Iger can't win, he just has to sit there and take it.
“Now if she says yes, and actually means yes, not a situation where she says yes and actually means no, then you can Kiss The Girl!”
There was already consent in "Poor Unfortunate Souls", you fucking idiots. Ariel willingly agrees to it out of stubbornness (Ursula can only do her spells through a contract because although she's the bad guy, she's savvy through legal means), much like all of Ursula's customers.
Nothing. It's fucked them over financially, they lost Sky News to Comcast, and the main thing they were trying to gain, good optics for Iger as CEO is being undone not only by Disney's continued crashing and burning but by his return and the fight with Desantis, especially if that ends in the governor's favor.
It's the same people who voiced them in the CG movie, which is even more redundant.
Can't have consoomers thinking about the consequences of their choices
Especially if Iger's slip of the tongue about those bonds proves true and Disney's been misappropriating Reedy Creek's government funding for the parks for years.
Wait, what?
During an absolute shitshow dumpster fire of an investor meeting, somebody got through the screening process and asked Iger point blank about how Disney's shift into a more political stance across the board both openly (opposing the anti-grooming act a.k.a. 'don't say gay bill') and in its content. Iger, who CLEARLY wasn't prepared for a question the screeners should have caught (and likely were told a different question), ends up going on some roundabout answer about how Disney is getting punished through something about bonds.
Honestly I thought those were two songs by Katy Perry and the SJW somehow found a reason why they're offensive. The news for this movie is proving that it's not going to be a big hit when it's released. Feels like one of those forced movies that companies make and expect people to worship, and they're offended by any criticism.
Rate me autistic, but this is making me think of the B-plot of Max Keeble's Big Move, a 2001 Disney movie, wherein the principal (played by Larry Miller) was discovered to be funneling the school budget not into the education system and teachers' salary as promised, but into building a huge stadium as a vanity project because "Sports rule, science drools".
