If it cost $382M and they netted $193M how the fuck did they only lose $130M. That looks a lot closer to a $195M loss (and this is ignoring marketing costs and points off the back end to anyone...well probably only HF).

Both of the above are correct. The loss cited by Blaze includes tax benefits but does not include the marketing which for this film was vast (remember the Cannes Film Festival presentation with everyone turning up that led to the reliable early info about what a dumpster fire this was).

From the Forbes article that the Blaze used as it's source talking about how they got the information that is usually kept secret:

Movies filmed in the United Kingdom are an exception. Studios put up with higher levels of disclosure when they film there in order to benefit from the UK government's Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) scheme. This gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend in the UK provided that it represents at least 10% of the film's total costs.
 
I'm seeing commercials for Disney+ and with that kind of commercials it's no wonder they are performing badly. They are divided to roughly two kinds:
* FOMO: "You are missing half the story". This is only correct for manchildren who care too much about (the currently dying) superhero genre and SW spinoffs where the story was already told decades ago.
* Adult Disney: If I'd want "adult" streaming I'd go Netflix or HBO. Not a company most well known for child products.

If Disney wants to sell subscriptions they should show a family watching Lion King or Little Mermaid (the original ones).

Chad Iger stays winning and puts traitor rats on notice.

The only surprising thing about the meeting was Iger may or may not have used AI to softball some questions given how last years went.
 
Is anybody really surprised that Iger won? Even with the colossal fuck-ups he has made, is doing, and will do, the shareholders would rather take their guy than some outsider who basically wanted to come in and fuck up their shrinking gravy train.

Not really, the only surprising part seems to be that he got 31% of the vote for a seat with only 25% of that coming from retail investors and state street withholding their vote despite owning 4% of the company (although there still a drop compare to vanguard who owns 8% and blackrock that owns 6.6%).

Yeah not to mention Peltz is as old as Joe Biden and pretty much has a history of nepotism.

Not saying Iger is good (in fact he is a piece of shit), but I think the last thing that is needed for any form of leadership is having a retirement home patient take charge.

No but I don't agree about Peltz's objectives. His stated objective was generating revenue for shareholders. I have no reason to believe that to be false and his past record (unlike Iger's) is consistent with that. Disney ain't no gravy train and that's on Iger. Correction - Disney ain't no gravy train for shareholder; it is for the directors, employees and "creatives".

Having said that I don't believe Peltz could deliver here even if he got the board seats sought. A couple of Peltz controlled board seats against Iger and his vast board majority, and pretty much the entire company and Hollywood establishment. It's pissing in the wind; look at how quickly Chapek was castrated and ejected. The cancer is so ingrained from top to bottom I don't see a realistic way back for Disney. The sooner it burns to the ground the better.

I'd rather have a retirement home patient who has a positive impact more often than negative than an over promoted ego maniac weatherman who fucks up everything.
 
No one who has a goal of actually earning money has owned Disney stock for -18-24 months. Motley investment led the analysis and began dumping about that long ago. The only owners remaining are fellow ideologues or non-voters, so it's not surprising at all.
 
It's almost June...when the live actin stitch horror movie will arrive. Live action AI horror movie its looking like the CGI is so exaggerated.

As horrifying as it looks, it doesn't matter to me as I won't watch it and pretty quickly it'll join the other horrible Disney movies I'm that I forget exist.
 
i love how once that R.Iger won the challenge he immediately released news about all the shitty movies they'll be releasing soon. He'll be running disney til he dies, he won't have a successor.
