Disney's In Trouble - How Did It Get Here?

in politics •  2 years ago 

Disney is a mammoth company that has so much in reserves that they can probably afford to screw around for a while but even someone with hundreds of billions in the bank doesn't enjoy losing money on basically everything they do. I reckon they can and will turn it around but the current political climate and how they inadvertently decided to get involved has a lot of people boycotting them. IF they can manage to get out of that, I think that people will come back... but it will take some time, perhaps decades. They are big enough to survive that amount of time. They do own almost everything in entertainment after all.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I agree. I highly doubt Disney will die, so we'll likely see the company paring stuff back and reload its ammo. That said, the rest of this year is looking to be extremely rough: Elemental flopped hard, The Marvels is looking to do badly, and Disney has to find cash for the Hulu buyout.

I have a feeling by the time Disney finally gets its act together, Universal will have already surpassed them and then some.

I think Disney is an unsinkable ship and they will successfully rebuild. I have seen a story here and there about how they are getting rid of a lot of the people that landed them in this situation in the first place. I think phase one is to get the politics and social programming out of what it is that they make, then the people will come back.

Well, Disney needs to roll out Phase 1 ASAP because it is taking quite a lot of big Ls as of late.

  • Indiana 5 had a horrible opening weekend and its 2nd week hold wasn't any better. Mission Impossible will take much of the attention away once it plays in theaters.
  • Sound of Freedom on a frugal $15 million production budget upstaged Indiana 5 on July 4th. Another small-budget movie, The Red Door, also upstaged Indiana during the latter's 2nd weekend.
  • Disney park attendance during the July 4th weekend was at its lowest in 10 years.

At this point, I think Disney really needs to clean house from top to bottom.

I think Disney will slowly but surely learn that they are going to have to tone it down with the social programming or face real consequences. The boycott of conservatives seems to be very lasting.
