“Iger’s model of offering low prices and a bonanza of content has clearly resonated with consumers,” .... So while they have almost 158 million Disney+ subscribers, it has come at a cost. It is expected to lose about $800 million in the third quarter.

Sure, we lose money on every customer, but we'll make it up on volume.

They not only blew hundreds of millions of dollars on movies which will never turn a profit, they threw all their investments into the properties they had acquired at great expense into the crapper.

Disney will never ge the 10 billion it spent on Lucasfilm back.They will not make anymore money on Marvels movies. They paid billions to acquire fox, still not making money on that.

They face lawsuits and payouts for shenanigans in Florida. They have ruined their reputation world wide and families don’t want to watch their woke crap.

What else? Oh, no one cares about Walt Disney among the people they have ostensibly made friends with.

He was signaling selling off parts of it when he took the job.

It’s okay and I think almost all of us have made peace with Disney ceasing to exist being a good thing at this point. Disney’s magic is gone, they have long since made the best things they were ever going to make. We get to keep those things almost forever in good quality thanks to modern digital video. Having them gone will benefit everyone by removing their ability to block and oppose, buy out and screw up better art. Not to mention their current non stop disgusting political agendas.

Having them go down now would be nothing but good.

Here's an idea, Disney:

Stop trying to push your woke nonsense on the American people!

While one can hope, but a buddy of mine who loves going to Disney pulled up the Disney park app. From the wait times on the rides, I don’t think it’s that bad.
I’m sure it’s down some, Bidenflation and all, but I’d rather people just will stay away because the Disney brand isn’t for the normal American family. Mickey supports a perverted version of family

1. Disney broke a Marketing 101 rule, don't destroy your brand.

2. When was the last time Disney had an original idea?

3. Disney prices are too high in this “non-recession” economy.

Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, will sell off the assets to get what price they can get now before the assets continue to decline in value.

They weren't going broke because they went woke, they went woke because they were already going broke.

Their immediate problem is that they have to buy the 33% of the Streaming service HULU they don’t have from Comcast at around $9 Billion, so they have to sell off some assets to complete this deal. Every movie they have released in the last 18 months have been bombs and next month they have another one coming out called The Blue Beetle which looks really bad, then we have The Marvels in November followed by the new Snow White which already looks pretty bad.

Bottom line is they are losing lots of money and it has to stop.
Iger has to be fired with a lot of other people.

Not to worry....

Bidenomics will help Disney to recover.

Disney will be as happy as all Americans are today.

Life’s never been better.

And, Mickey and Minnie will finally have enough money to get married and live happily ever after.

And Snow White will have her dwarfs become giants after they have enough to eat.

Parents don’t like perverts announcing “were coming for your children.”

Thanks to DeSantis.

Disney was actually in the top 5 donors to Trump in both 2016 and 2020.

Disney is a cultural artifact. Like shopping malls.

The guy who replaced Iger (cannot recall his name) got a raw deal.

Iger essentially ran Disney until January 2022.

Every movie that has crashed and burned in the last 18 months was an Iger movie.

Iger's compulsive idea to go to war with Governor DeSantis over Disney tax breaks and Sex Shows for children landed on the new CEO's desk, not on Iger's desk.

So, how did the Disney Board of Directors decide to solve this sudden avalanche of financial problems?

They fired the new CEO - and, they made Iger CEO and Executive Chairman again!

The “noncore pieces”?
I think that is French for the “not porno or pedophile pieces”.

I’ve read many articles on financial sites regarding Disney’s woes and not a one mentions the “woke” movies that push the GIBLET lifestyle on children. None mention that most parents just do not want their children exposed to that lifestyle. None make note of the fact that Disney brought it on themselves and refuse to reverse course.

I have no sympathy for Disney and am delighted when I see that their stock price continues to fall.

Get woke, go ....... oh you know....the thing!

Sell off ESPN back to people who will do Sports, not politics. ESPN doesn’t stand for ‘Entertaining Sports with Politics Network’
