It's like a regular death spiral, but corporate.

This part seems like a huge lie. Worldwide it’s already made more than the budget. It’s still going to have sales when it goes on demand.

HOLY frick, how many times does this have to be explained to you dumb motherfrickers?
A movie has to have gross ticket sales equal to or greater than 3x its production budget in order to break even.
Do you think theaters don't get paid to show the fricking movie, dipshit?
Even if Disney got 100% of the ticket sales, they still haven't recouped their production, marketing and distribution costs.
Do some research before you post

The theaters actually get a bigger percentage of the ticket sales after the opening weekend. Usually they get 50% of ticket revenue in opening weekend, but that can jump to as much as 70% in week 2 and beyond.
this used to be accurate. The studio got about 80% opening weekend if not 90% but it dropped a chunk each week until the studio was getting about 25% or something after 8 weeks. This is why opening weekends are so important to studios. They probably have better deals cut in China and that is probably why they pander so much to those theaters and countries.
ETA: I wouldn't be shocked if they had something in the 200 mil range in cash. It doesn't mean that they can't leverage the shite out of money and raise 10 billion tomorrow if needed. I wouldn't be shocked to see Disney start selling off some of the streaming stuff they have, it can't be that profitable and it seems to be hurting them in areas.

They also have to recoup their promotional and marketing costs which can be anywhere from 50-100% of the actual production costs. It's crazy what these big budget movies spend on commercials and promos.

The world would be better off without them.

Disney definitely gets more than 50% in opening weekend in international sales, that's not just China. I think I heard 70% is standard for international release. So a film could do poorly domestically and still be profitable if their international sales are high enough.
Aladdin and The Lion King did ok in the US but fricking crushed it in the international market. The Little Mermaid is doing ok domestically, but internationally it is bombing.
Disney may get more than 50% from US theaters, but I wouldn't think it would be much more considering Theaters are still getting paid by Mario, Guardians (yes I know this is Disney), and now Spiderverse. Flash is also going to be very popular, which further weakens their bargaining position. Don't forget that Disney still has to distribute 2 more flops in June alone with Dial of Destiny and Elemental.
Disney is not in a position to demand a bigger cut with Sony and Universal producing better and more popular movies right now.

It literally took 15 seconds and Google to prove that statement false.
It's still low for Disney, but over 10x what you claim.
Ultimately it's not revenue that's ultimately hurting Disney, but rather costs. Their revenues are still high (they made 82.7 billion in 2022).

This sounds like my crazy uncle, who I love, but he also spends to much time on social media and believes everything he sees.

Why are you expecting Elemental to flop? The trailers seem decent.

Test screenings have gone poorly, Like worse than Strange World.
Expected to have the worst opening in Pixar History.

Eh, George is a good idea guy but needs people to clean up and write the dialog.
The original trilogy is what you get when people are there to stop his bad ideas. The prequels are what you get when he isn’t filtered.
