What happend to Disney?

[ハイイロギツネ]

What happend to the quality of Disney in recent years?

Marvel is no longer selling out cinemas and no longer can Hollywood rely on big names like Star Wars and Indiana Jones to make the big bucks.

So the question is what happend and how can they become the top dog again?

parents started seeing some weird things on the movies and said "enough disney for now"

They are making loads of money. Just not in cinemas any more. Given I don't think they own many cinemas I doubt they care that streaming is killing off that mode of watching their stuff.

i keep saying this whenever i comment on such topics, but my assumption is that people in suits who have no interest in the products the company makes - but do have an interest in the profit the company makes - are pulling the strings, oblivious to what made the company successful in the first place, while treating their "industry" as a literal industry as if they were making steel or beer: "just make more".

they have no concept of how art works, and are guided by anxious boardroom decisions based purely on good-looking spreadsheets and no vision involved whatsoever.
that is to say, they dig up old IPs, study their sales figures (as mention, as if it was steel or beer), and then decide that if Charlie Chaplin films were filling cinemas at their original airing, then surely the consumers will flock to the cinemas today if we put up Charlie Chaplin remakes, gritty reboots, series, etc.

edit:
oh, and if you have any insight into how easy it is to have fun with numbers when it comes to statistics, you should have a pretty good idea about how those "good-looking spreadsheets" come about in the first place.
as a hint: when rickrolling first took off as a meme, there were production companies that seriously looked at the charts and drew the conclusion that "people really like Rick Astely these days huh? make more!" and so he was suddenly showing up at tv shows all over the place. he was well aware of what was happening and was having a laugh at it, but the TV people did not seem to get it.
same deal with "Chocolate Rain" and its short-lived use in advertisements.

Yup, and they've been lying to investors about it too in order to keep people investing into Disney on that false premise... which is illegal so they're probably going to lose money from that too.

Agree... it's a house of cards now...

Dale Gribble was right in an ironically funny way.


What happened to all the major Studios in the Movie Industry,
also happened to Disney, they aren't protected by their own
Corporate Greed, or whatever. They are falling apart, too.

In any case, I still watch their Movies.
Classic Movies.

They can get momey just by reusing old IP and rebranding it to appeal to the increasingly common politically correcr demographics. They are business first. Ofc they'll take the path of least resistance.

It's not that easy. Maybe for some people?

But some people don't like to pay for bad movie after bad movie,
& be fooled into thinking they are good movies over & over again.

They still make money with minimum effort. I don't watch them anymore personally, but enough people do. If not they would stop doing what they do rn.

No... they'er not "still making money"... they're losing money to the point of ruin...

Oh they might be slowing down what they're doing... but it's pretty much too little, too late.
