Staggering Disney box office losses total nearly $900 million for recent movies, according to analysis
The Walt Disney Company lost nearly $900 million on recent movies, according to Hollywood analysis.
The Walt Disney Company suffered losses nearing $900 million on its last eight studio releases, according to box office analyst Valliant Renegade.
Disney struggled with staggering losses despite numerous notable movie releases. The financial losses of nearly $1 billion were encountered during the release of the following movies: "Lightyear," "Thor: Love and Thunder," "Strange World," "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," "The Little Mermaid," and "Elemental."
According to Valliant Renegade, the eight movies cost $2.75 billion, but only brought in $1.86 billion for Disney, totaling a loss of $890 million.
"Strange World" lost $197 million and "Lightyear" lost $106 million, according to Deadline.
Recent Disney movies have embraced "woke" storylines.
"Strange World" featured a gay romance.
The animated children's "Lightyear" has a lesbian kiss in it................

Moms have hit 'Oh hell no!'
Disney is in as much trouble as Butt Light... Though they have been twisting in the wind way longer.
Their venue income is down. Their streaming service is down.
Get woke go broke.
Good riddance.

My kids grew up with Disney movies and I took the grandkids to many Disney movies. But this 'wokeness' is trying to ruin the innocence of children. I'm glad to see Disney in financial trouble.

Back in the 70's we watched The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday.

I had forgotten all about that, but we watched it as well.

We did too - There ain't a lot that my mother would just stuff in the VCR and -park us kids in front of it... But Disney movies were a big one.
That trust is lost now. Nothing for it.

YEP. As a family. Maybe right after Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom... There's some memories...

Yep. But that was when Walt was running things.
I think he'd be rototilling his grave over what has happened to his dream.

Poor ol Jim. :laugh:
But to be fair, Marlin Perkins was way past duffer... maybe even geezer...
Best to leave that sorta thing to the young folks, and just narrate.

No doubt.
This certainly isn't the America that most of us knew.

Same.

Happily, it was on one of the two TV stations we were able to pull in out in the sticks if we turned our outdoor antenna the right direction. Kids today will never know the struggle of yelling thru the window, "Keep going ... keep going ... little more ... GO BACK!!"

Us kids didn't get to watch much tv. Well, we could. If we wanted to watch what dad was watching. Movies were a summer drive in treat. I do remember getting to play Antenna Man and Remote Control.
The wife and I did get a VCR and had some Disney movies. But it wasn't a must have thing.

Same here, one channel, NBC. That was it.

I was right on the edge of the last generation when radio was king. At least out here.
We normally had a radio going in the kitchen most of the day, and in the shop and in the barn when we were there. I listened to radio way more than I watched TV, until cable came along. Then it was TV mornings and evenings, but back to radio at bed time... Art Bell... I listened to AM all the time out of the house. Most of my rigs never had a tape deck.
Lately I have been going back to that. Radio with my eggs. Tuning into radio instead of playing from my library. Too customized to my tastes. I want less control of it. Less predictable and open to the new. I think variety is getting hard to come by because of it.

The last Disney movie I saw was Zootopia. In one scene, a fox shames a bunny for assuming he was carnivorous. Bunny runs back into the city and apologizes to the fox. The broader plotline is subversive and cringe inducing. If their later offerings are similar, it's no wonder the company is losing parents.

There was more watchable entertainment on the two tv stations we got in the fifties and sixties than the entire gamut of what is broadcast now on network and cable.
There are literally no shows now on network tv that I like. The last ones I liked were CSI-Las Vegas with William Peterson and the New York one with Gary Sinise. Now everything is p.c. garbage.
Cable ain't much better.
I prefer watching old movies (and I mean OLD!! movies....you know William Powell and The Thin Man-type movies) to the garbage now on the tube.

When people say that the entertainment today is so much better than the old days, I like to point to the lack of the drive-in movie theaters where they actually showed first run good movies back in the day.
I saw Bridge On The River Kwai at the drive-in back in 1957. Now there are virtually no drive-ins (definitely not in my area), and no good movies to see at them anyway.

It was three channels at our house. I concur with everything else you said here @goatprairie
(That may be a first for this forum.)

I hope parents are realizing they hold the real power when it comes to their kids!
