That comment doesn't make any sense anyway. They are currently bleeding money. They were propped up by travel restrictions being relaxed worldwide last year, but what they're doing right now with the parks tells me that isn't going to be propping them up this year (opening back up season passes, meal plans, etc).

ESG and now even WEF funding will keep them churning out woke crap no matter how much money they lose at the box office.

So so start. This could open under 100 mil. I thought it would do 12-13 last night. Today's number will tell us a lot.

I didn’t go see Lightyear or that other woke POS movie Strange World. I didn’t think that The Little Mermaid was really woke. Sure, there was some unnecessary diversity crap shoe-horned in (Ariel’s sisters being of every ethnic group imaginable, and Eric being a foundling who was adopted by a black King and Queen), but it didn’t ruin the movie for me. The actors playing Ariel and Eric carried the movie and had great chemistry. Like I said in my other post, there is a lot more of Eric and his story in this movie. One of the best changes they made was having Eric drawn to the sea as much as Ariel is drawn to the land.

Pre-purchasing movie tickets will always feel weird to me.

RT is fricking with their scores and doing their usual Disney bidding.

"Verified audience" bots is 95%.

All audience is 48%.

I mentioned it in another thread, but week 1 numbers for this movie won’t mean shite. Let’s see what they do week 2. I would have to bet it’s a huge drop off because everyone who wanted to see it likely would have seen it that first week.

They do that for every movie. The high audience score for Nefarious presented in that thread was the verified users one. I was told that movie was good, and the 15 critics who reviewed it were stupid, based on the score of the "Verified audience."

Why would Disney have its bots inflate the score of a Christian horror film released by an independent distributor?

Is okay to not like this movie, and its okay to not want to like this movie. Why invent shite like this just to validate what you desire?

A wise man once told me the further a woman’s eyes are apart the crazier they are, just like hammerhead sharks. The craziest sharks in the ocean.

You think that’s more likely than people giving bad ratings who haven’t even seen the movie? Lol

Believe whatever you want. The parks have been propping up the company while travel restrictions have been getting lifted, but that clearly is not still happening. Maybe they'll stop putting out garbage and right the ship, but right now it looks like they're more interested in flirting with bond defaults by conflating Disney with the RCID in Florida. Disney's outlook is not good.
