Disney Goes Full BUD LIGHT | Investors Should Be Furious | Disney Hires Trans Spokesman | Disney DEI
Disney Goes full BUD LIGHT | Investors Should Be Furious | Disney Hires TikTock Trans Spokesman to sell Disney to … well… we’re not sure exactly.
After Bud Light completely destroyed itself with its own trans spokesman, Disney apparently wants to try the same thing.
When are Disney investors going to demand a stop be put to this sort of self destruction? The commercial fallout from parents who are sick to death of Disney pushing LGBT politics into film and children’s television is growing.

Disney Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy Sends Smoke Signals | Sells Disney Adjacent Home | w/ @WDW_Pro
Entertainment News | Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy Sends Smoke Signals | Sells Her Disney Adjacent Home After Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny FLOP | Featuring @WDW_Pro of That Park Place
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy puts her Malibu, CA home up for sale and that may just another warning sign her days are numbered. She and her husband, Frank Marshall, purchased this home in 2015, around the time she was renewed as Lucasfilm President by The Walt Disney Company for the first time. Kathleen Kennedy grew up in Northern California and still has residences there. Lucasfilm's corporate offices are also based in San Francisco, CA. Acquiring a Los Angeles area home after the Disney purchase in 2012 was likely a strategic move since Lucasfilm was now tied to Disney and much of the actual production for Lucasfilm projects under Disney are done IN Los Angeles at Disney owned studios. Having a home there for extended stays would make sense.
But now Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are selling that home (roughly a 40 min drive from Burbank and Disney corporate headquarters) so perhaps this is another warnings sign she's planning her exit.
We've heard that Kennedy will enter contract renegotiations in the next week or two ahead of her current contract's expiration in late September/October of 2024, next year. We've also heard that this negotiation is more of a severance negotiation than potential renewal.
Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are now in their 70s and retirement would seem imminent at this point, particularly considering the completion and release of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny (and its box office failure) which is the one big project Kennedy really wanted to complete.

DISNEY Says NO To APPLE in "MAGIC FREE" Earnings | Disney + Loses | Bob Iger Lackluster Performance
DISNEY Says NO To APPLE in "MAGIC FREE" Earnings Call | Bob Iger Delivers Lackluster Performance for Wall Street and addresses the APPLE buy-out rumors... | Stock Market News Today
Entertainment Business News Today | Disney News Today | Disney Stock | Disney Earnings Call | Apple Disney Merger | Disney Box office flops
The Walt Disney Company Earnings call went off without much confidence from CEO Robert Iger and that seems to be the general consensus from Wall Street as well.
The Walt Disney Company didn't have a very good quarter. Much of the good news was only good news due to massive write-offs and write-downs for cancelled shows, canceled Galactic StarCruiser, over $2 Billion in impairment charges etc... In other words, it really wasn't the income that helped Disney beat the earnings per share estimates.
ESPN and ABC along with other linear broadcast channels saw continued declines in revenue as Disney desperately wants to dump things like ABC, FX, and National Geographic while also getting the core live sports content of ESPN to streaming as fast as possible.
Bob Iger also was asked about whether the rumors regarding a buy-out of DISNEY by APPLE have any merit and Iger was quick to shoot those down.

How Much Magic is Left at Disney? - Walt Disney Company Q3 23 Earnings Call Preview | Stock Market News Today | Disney Stock | Breaking News | Disney CEO Bob Iger to take center stage again on the latest Disney Earnings Call
There are some BIG QUESTIONS that Disney and CEO Bob Iger will HAVE to answer on today's Walt Disney Company Earnings Call such as the state of Disney+ DTC (direct to consumer) gains and the path to profits in the next 12 months that Disney promised.
Will Disney sell ABC and WHO exactly would be a potential buyer for a deteriorating asset like that?
The ESPN deal with PENN to license the brand name and make it ESPN BET came as a surprise, so what does that do the possibility of finding an equity parter for the sports giant under the Disney banner?

Snow White Is a Hot MESS | Will Disney CANCEL Her?
Snow White Is a Hot MESS | Will Disney CANCEL Her? | Rachel Zegler (Snow White) Puts her foot in her mouth... again. | Disney Box Office FLOP | The Little Mermaid | Disney Earnings Call Wed August 9th
Rumors suggest The Walt Disney Company is discussing what to do with Snow White after mass ridicule online for it's "Re-Imagined" 2024 live action remake. Prince Charming will be NO hero and Snow White will be all girl power mode. In other words audiences may be shocked to learn this wont look ANYTHING like the original classic that launched Walt Disney animated films in 1937.
The Seven Dwarves aren't dwarves anymore and Snow White doesn't exactly seem like Snow White. Disney's diversity drive keeps getting in the way of making commercially successful projects as most recently evidenced by The Little Mermaid's failure at the box office when considering it's enormous budget. And the budget for Snow White is likely something similar around $200M.
How many Disney Box Office FLOPS will there be before they course correct? The Disney earnings call is Wednesday August 9th and nothing is looking too rosy right now.

Disney's Billion Dollar FLOPS of 2023 | Secret Invasion, Indiana Jones, Little Mermaid, Ant Man
Disney's Billion Dollar Box Office (and streaming) FLOPS of 2023 | MARVEL STUDIOS Secret Invasion - LUCASFILM Indiana Jonesand the Dial of Destiny - Walt Disney Studios The Little Mermaid 2023 - MARVEL STUDIOS Ant Man & The Wasp Quantumania | FORBES Magazine & Caroline Reid pull the UK Financial statements for Disney's biggest flops of 2023.
The Walt Disney Company is set to perhaps have a rotten week with their earnings call on Wednesday August 9th and the financial trades such as Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, etc... have been giving Disney NO QUARTER and NO MERCY of late.
Disney spent nearly $1 Billion on these four projects and those figures do NOT YET INCLUDE the over whelming majority of the MASSIVE post production costs, including things like editing, VFX, and CGI, which ALL of these Disney tentpole films were RIFE with.

The Walt Disney Company is collapsing at he box office. The once envied entertainment company is now struggling to find a profit on almost every single film released. Disney's bloated budgets for these projects are vastly higher than the competition on average, particularly considering the fact that every single film Disney releases comes with blockbuster production price tags.
But just how much has Disney LOST at the box office in the past year since Lightyear released? How much longer can Disney keep this up?
The Little Mermaid, Elemental, Ant Man & The Wasp Quantumania were all unmitigated FLOPS. There's only so much the Parks & Resorts along with ESPN can absorb in the long run. The Disney Creative Braintrust seems empty.

The board of the newly appointed and renamed Central Florida Tourism Oversight District recently announced the elimination of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs that hindered the district for years and was forced upon it by Disney itself. The district was overspending on services and contractors to satisfy arbitrary DEI requirements.

DISNEY CEO Bob Iger DESPERATE For HELP
The Bob Iger led Walt Disney Company 3rd Quarter Earnings Call is August 9th 2023 and things are getting pretty crazy in the House Of Mouse. The reunion with former Disney Executives Tom Staggs and Kevin Mayer made BIG headlines in stock market news and entertainment news outlets.
Disney CEO Bob Iger Cries For Help After Getting In Over His Head | Iger, Disney bring BACK Tom Staggs and Kevin Mayer as "Consultants" under private contract to help Iger navigate streaming and linear broadcast TV as well as possible sales.
There was a time when Tom Staggs was the clear front runner to be Bob Iger's successor back in 2016 before Iger was renewed ... again. Staggs departed after the Walt Disney COmpany Board and Iger himself allegedly lost confidence in him after believing him to be the NEXT Disney CEO.
Kevin Mayer meanwhile helped Disney and Bob Iger acquire such properties as Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and even FOX before departing in 2020.
Tom Staggs and Kevin Mayer reunited as partners in a small but growing entertainment company called CANDLE MEDIA. Both still privately consult with major studios such as Warner Bros and David Zaslav and now with Disney.
MIGHT the board be tempted also to ask Tom Staggs to STAY at Disney this time and takeover as CEO?

According to a Disney insider who has provided images of documents (some of which we are not showing in this video), the Disney company began forcing employees through a number of radical DEI requirements starting in the summer of 2020. Not only this, but their job security and compensation was tied to these procedures. As a result of a plethora of changes at the company, conservatives and moderates could even be called into HR for espousing less-than-"progressive" views on social media or elsewhere. As a result, the company allegedly purged and silenced the remaining employees of traditional values and beliefs.
This is the story of how Disney fell from orbit in just four years.

Disney Is BROKEN. Thank Bob Iger.
Disney Is BROKEN. Thank CEO Bob Iger.
Everything at The Walt Disney Company is BROKEN and It's Bob Iger's Fault. Disney theme parks are seeing some of the worst attendance they have had in forever. Meanwhile COMCAST UNIVERSAL STUDIOS recently released a rather positive earnings call as now all eyes turn to Bob Iger and Disney to see if they can hold up.... There are doubts.
Disney movies like Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Elemental, and no Haunted Mansion are failing at the box office. Movies from rival studios like SUPER MARIO BROS, BARBIE, and OPPENHEIMER are just humiliating Disney at every turn. NOTHING at Disney is working and the August 9th Walt DIsney COmpany Earnings Call is likely to be an awful day for Bob Iger and Disney.
To top it all off, a Florida judge tossed out Disney's Motion To Dismiss the lawsuit brought against it by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (former Reedy Creek Improvement District)

Star Wars The Acolyte Cost $250M ?! | Disney Lucasfilm & Marvel Studios Cost Disney Plus Too Much
Star Wars The Acolyte Cost $250M ?! | Disney Lucasfilm & Marvel Studios Cost Disney Plus Too Much | Disney CEO Bob Iger needs to reign this in | Disney Spends $49 Million On Star Wars Spinoff ‘The Acolyte’ | Another Kathleen Kennedy Star Wars show no one asked for?
A recent filing by Disney / Lucasfilm / Blue Stockings LTD in the UK shows the latest Star Wars Disney Plus show THE ACOLYTE (currently in post production) spent about $50 Million USD in the pre-production phase alone through September 24th, 2022. This would have included writing, art and set design along with construction, props and costumes, and opening a lease with the brand new multi-billion dollar soundstage facility in Britain, Shinfield Studios.
If we extrapolate the final costs from those of pre-production when compared to similar projects in the past, The Acolyte final cost will likely be in the $250M range.
Disney, like many studios often elect to conduct physical production in the UK to take advantage of lucrative tax incentives like the UK Film Tax Credit program, which offers up to 25% back on qualified production expenses made in the country.
The problem ultimately is that Disney Plus has struggled GREATLY to financially perform thanks to enormous costs of production for what Bob Iger refers to as "Core Content" like Star Wars and Marvel products. Iger recently made cuts to production and content but those cuts are for projects going FORWARD, not those already greenlit (contracted) AND well underway.
The Acolyte (Star Wars / Lucasfilm) was greenlit back in March 2021 and finally went into physical production in the second half of 2022, with principal photography starting in October/November 2022 and reportedly concluding on schedule in late May 2023 just before the WGA and SAG AFTRA strikes began.

BARBIE OPPENHEIMER Box Office BOOM!! But Will it LAST?
BARBIE OPPENHEIMER Box Office BOOM!! But Will it LAST?
BARBIE from Mattel & Warner Bros SHOCKS the world with it's MASSIVE $300M + Global opening Box Office, but arguable even MORE impressive is the OVER performance of OPPENHEIMER, scoring $80M+ in the domestic Box Office another $93M internationally!
Both movies have racked up HUGE opening weekend numbers, becoming the biggest box office weekend all year, but can these two movies HOLD and leg out over time or are there numbers very front-loaded?
Praise seems very high for Oppenheimer but the Barbie Movie 2023 seems to have split the audience over it's heavy dose of social messaging, surprising /. disappointing a LOT of big Barbie fans.

BARBIE Movie Set To Blow Up The Box Office, BUT...
The BARBIE Movie (2023) from Mattel and Warner Bros starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is set to release with what is expected to be a perhaps a $100M domestic box office opening projection (if not potentially higher).
The production budget for Barbie is reported to be $100M as per The-Numbers.com but other sources suggest $145M. I'm sure we will have some clarity in coming days. It's also been reported the marketing budget for the film is in the vicinity of $100M itself, which seems about right for a film of this caliber considering the popularity of the intellectual property involved.
But will the huge box office opening hold up over time as some early viewers have expressed disgust at the messaging in the film and changes to characters.
One of the things that made Super Mario Bros such a massive hit was that it stayed tru to the characters and avoided and modern day messaging for audiences. Barbie may not be made in the same vein. If it isn't, it could struggle to maintain a strong box office hold into the second and third weekends.

MICKEY MOUSE YARD SALE! | DESPERATE Bob Iger SELLS DISNEY Legacy?
DISNEY YARD SALE! | Bob Iger Auctions His Legacy ESPN ABC FX and INDIA? | Disney News | Stock Market News | Disney Stock | Disney For Sale?
Bob Iger has built his reputation on corporate acquisition. Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and FOX. But now Iger is signaling a Disney yard sale with even ABC and the entire country of India (via HotStar) on the table. But Why?
Disney HotStar India has been an albatross on DTC (direct to consumer) profitability and without the streaming rights to the popular IPL Cricket League, Disney has shed millions of subscribers in India. Look for Disney to perhaps try and sell to the Paramount/Viacom CBS group that bought the IPL streaming rights last year.
ABC like all broadcast networks are in what could be permanent decline and Bob Iger seems to want to offload this burden NOW before it becomes comparably worthless in the next 5-10 years.
But Iger maintains that Disney will hold onto "core" content and LIVE SPORTS are KEY. That said, what is ABC actually worth without its most valuable properties like the NBA contract? A Wells Fargo Analyst suggest Disney's total linear system is worth perhaps $8 Billion but it may not even be half of that once live sports are withdrawn from the deal. Certain this could help with the acquisition of HULU's remainder in a few months from COMCAST, but I think this even more about getting top dollar now (or as best they can) before the value of linear assets collapse any further.

Set images have LEAKED from Walt Disney's live action remake of SNOW WHITE & The Seven Dwarfs ... except... it looks NOTHING like what you'd expect.
WHAT IS DISNEY THINKING?! Is Disney even thinking at all?
Snow White is next in the litany of Disney live action remakes of classic animated Disney films and the productions just keep seeming to continue on a downhill slide.
After The Little Mermaid's failure and audience ridicule, Snow White looks to have a "Hold My Beer" moment and steal the crown of the most ridiculous looking thing Disney has ever done.

The Walt Disney Company Board Of Directors Extends Disney CEO Robert "Bob" Iger Through 2031 | Total Incompetence of Board, Unable to find a proper successor CEO. Board admits failure with renewal
Join @ValliantRenegade @WDW_Pro and @JonasJCampbell to discuss.
The Man who broke Disney gets to stay for several more years to try and fix his mess, because nobody else wants it.
VARIETY Magazine:
Bob Iger Extends Contract as Disney CEO Through 2026
https://variety.com/2023/film/news/bob-iger-disney-ceo-extension-2026-1235668668/
Bob Iger will remain at the helm of Walt Disney Co. through 2026, fulfilling a prediction from many in the industry that he would not step down as CEO at the end of next year as originally planned.
“Time and again, Bob has shown an unparalleled ability to successfully transform Disney to drive future growth and financial returns, earning him a reputation as one of the world’s best CEOs,” said Disney chairman Mark G. Parker. “Bob has once again set Disney on the right strategic path for ongoing value creation, and to ensure the successful completion of this transformation while also allowing ample time to position a new CEO for long-term success, the Board determined it is in the best interest of shareholders to extend his tenure, and he has agreed to our request to remain Chief Executive Officer through the end of 2026.”
“Since my return to Disney just seven months ago, I’ve examined virtually every facet of our businesses to fully understand the tremendous opportunities before us, as well as the challenges we’ve been facing from the broader economic environment and the tectonic shifts in our industry,” Iger said. “On my first day back, we began making important and sometimes difficult decisions to address some existing structural and efficiency issues, and despite the challenges, I believe Disney’s long-term future is incredibly bright. But there is more to accomplish before this transformative work is complete, and because I want to ensure Disney is strongly positioned when my successor takes the helm, I have agreed to the Board’s request to remain CEO for an additional two years.”
“The importance of the succession process cannot be overstated, and as the Board continues to evaluate a highly qualified slate of internal and external candidates, I remain intensely focused on a successful transition,” he said.

Indiana Jones SLAMMED SHUT Behind Red Door As Sound Of Freedom RINGS | Mission Impossible 7 UP NEXT
Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny SLAMMED SHUT Behind Insidious 5 The Red Door As Sound Of Freedom RINGS | Mission Impossible On Deck | Indiana Jones FLOPS | Indiana Jones Box Office BOMB | Disney Lucasfilm Panic Mode
Breaking News Box Office Movies: Indiana Jones 5 FALLS to Insidious The Red Door in another STUNNING upset while Sound of Freedom is right on Indy's tail.
Indiana Jones 5 suffered a humiliation on Tuesday July 4th after losing the #1 Box Office spot on its fifth day to Sound of Freedom from Angel Studios ( starring Jim Caviezel ) , a movie that once belonged to The Walt Disney Company following the $70 Billion acquisition of Fox Studios in 2019.
But Sony Pictures and Blumhouse Insidious The Red Door exploded out the gate with $32 Million at the domestic box office and $64 Million globally for a HUGE start to a film that cost $16 Million to produce. In other words, Sony could make TWENTY Insidious films for the same price as ONE Indiana Jones in 2023.
This puts Indiana Jones squarely in the doghouse and sets it up to lose about $250 Million for The Walt Disney Company.
DEADLINE:
‘Insidious: The Red Door’ Slams On ‘Indiana Jones’ With $32M+ Opening https://deadline.com/2023/07/box-office-insidious-the-red-door-indiana-jones-1235431682/

Indiana Jones 5 Goes DOWN After 4 Days | SHOCK UPSET By Sound Of Freedom | Dial Of Destiny Disney Disaster & Humiliation at the Box Office
Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny gets STUNNED by SHOCKING UPSET debut from Angel Studios "Sound Of Freedom" starring Jim Caviesel after only FOUR DAYS in the box office.
Disney and Lucasfilm have to be scrambling to spin this mess today and likely Kathleen Kennedy has run out of excuses.
Indiana Jones DEAD At Box Office | Disney Pulled Plug On Marketing? | Media Can't SPIN It
Indiana Jones 5 & Lucasfilm Are Dead | Now What About Kathleen Kennedy?
Deadline Magazine CANT SPIN For Disney Anymore. $330M Production Budget but only $100M in Global Marketing?!?! It's looking like Disney RELLY PULLED THE MARKETING BACK HARD ON THIS FILM AFTER CANNES
Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny Box Office FLOPS opening weekend, hitting the lower end of an already low projection and no one in the major Hollywood media seems to have much faith of it getting better in the next 9 days before Mission Impossible 7 : Dead Reckoning Part One releases on July 12th.
New rumors are swelling that this was Kathleen Kennedy's swan song and quite frankly, they might be true this time although her retirement wont likely be the humiliation many Star Wars and Indy fans would like to see given how much insult and damage Kennedy has afforded them over time.
Let's discuss the particulars and see where this might lead.

DISNEY Movie Budgets Are OUT OF CONTROL Amidst CRASHING Box Office
Disney Movie Budgets Are OUT OF CONTROL | Killing Box Office Financial Returns | Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny | Marvel Studios / Marvel Cinematic Universe MCU Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 | Ant Man And The Wasp | Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness | Elemental | DIsney Plus | Disney+ | The Little Mermaid | Pixar
Hollywood media LOVES to tout the fact that Disney is "The King Of The Box Office" but what does that REALLY mean, or even matter? Sure, Disney may still hold the biggest box office market share, but every single film Disney releases comes with a MASSIVE tentpole budget of $200M - $300M plus another $100M+ each in marketing.
Does it actually matter that Disney holds the biggest box office market share of retail sales if they are losing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars per year to achieve that?
