Is Disney about to hit a wall?

It's certainly not something that I would be willing to bet on

Their live action movies seems to be doing well. How many of those do they have planned?

Because it was a divisive piece of shite.

ROS was a fairly enjoyable mess and a nice antidote for TLJ.

Using threads on this board to determine future earnings of a Corp like Disney seems smart

I get my stock tips on the O.T.

My investments in tricked out heavy duty truck manufacturers and breast augmentation companies have paid nicely.

I mean, new Star Wars movies for the first time after 20 years was a big deal. 5 movies in, it's just not that special anymore. That doesn't mean Star Wars is a flop. it's still going to make bank, but Disney really needs to reign in their expectations if they're expecting TFA like numbers for Star Wars going forward.

I have no idea why people kept saying Disney+ was going to kill Netflix, especially with them drip feeding their original content.

I also feel like non-Spiderman Marvel films will take a hit post-Endgame, but at this point, Marvel could film a dog taking a shite and it still reach almost a billion dollars.

Because it was an abortion of a movie that insulted SW fans everywhere. People are more vocal when angry.

Rise was a pretty good movie that brought some normalcy back to us all, so there's not much to say.

ABC, ESPN, Pixar, etc. will always crush it for Disney as well.

And Marvel could put out anything and destroy records at this point. I contribute to that because I trust their formula to give me a fun theater experience every damn time so I'll keep buying tickets.

Divisive things promote far more discussion than solid movies that everyone agrees on

It's not just Disney+ existence that is going to frick up Netflix. It's the fact that they and just about every other major media company are pulling their content for their own streaming services. The most popular content on Netflix is all from other companies that either have or will soon have their own services.

Also, Disney is going for the HBO approach of quality over quantity. The drip feeding is brilliant b/c it keep conversation about their shows going on for much longer than you get with Netflix and their binge model. A show like Stranger Things, as popular as it is, will never ever receive the same amount of hype as a Game of Thrones or Mandalorian b/c you can watch the whole thing in a weekend when it drops while with the one episode a week model you get slow buildup of water cooler talk that creates it's own hype as people try and guess what will happen. It also makes you much more likely to check out other shows on the service while you wait for the next episode. There are many HBO shows I never would have given a chance if I had been able to binge an entire year of the Sopranos, The Wire, or Game of Thrones right away instead of seeing what else HBO was airing while waiting for each episode to come out.

I honestly think there are several shows on Netflix that would have lasted longer and been much bigger if the full seasons weren't dropped all at once. The binge model is an all or nothing thing doesn't allow for a show to slowly build it's audience. In the binge model if a show doesn't hit big right away it's immediately dead and will be completely buried by the massive amount of content Netflix is constantly putting out. A show like Seinfeld that they now trumpet as a huge get for their service would never have made it past season one in a binge model world.

Disney had something like 7 out of the ten highest grossing films last year. Don't think they are going anywhere rn
