KK is doing a Holdo Maneuver with the entire property of Star Wars. She is responsible.
But there will be zero repercussions because she and her cohort feel like they're on the right side of things. |

I can't decide which to hold on for investments and which (if any) to build. |

If they never went woke, I bet they would have easily doubled what they spent.
The kind of demented psychosis it must take to willfully cost your business billions in profit pushing idiotic narratives and then keep doing it is incomprehensible. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Snozberry: Doesnt matter. Once blackrock and their proxies are a component part of your corporate ownership, your company is a loss leader for the dei message. Youve been bought and paid for and you are no longer expected to make a profit so long as you can pump social propaganda. This is our sides biggest belief fallacy-- that these companies will see the losses and return to sanity. No. They are zombie corpses. Consider them dead, because profits are no longer their goal. THis kind of gives me a warm feeling in my subcockles. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Silverbulletz06: According to the reports Disney paid 4 Billion for the franchise. It then spent 2.1 billion (6.1 total) to have a total earnings, not profit just the total receipts, of 2.8 Billion. Talk about shitting the bed. |

Ok, and? Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? They've told the world that they've picked " the message"over profits. It's self inflicted and by choice

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cowboy: This. On a long enough time line, it will be profitable. The Mando/Grogu movie will make serious bank if they don't woke it. Is there still a High Republic movie coming? That will do ok or potentially be awesome if they don't woke it. But again, even woke they will do good and add profits over time. The Mouse will win in the end. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cowboy: Originally Posted By Stokes: This isn't Barstool. It's not like Disney is going to give it back to George. They have plenty of time (like, forever) to make their money. Of course, it'll be difficult to do if they continue to tell people they're terrible for not loving how Disney has destroyed their childhood. This. On a long enough time line, it will be profitable. The Mando/Grogu movie will make serious bank if they don't woke it. Is there still a High Republic movie coming? That will do ok or potentially be awesome if they don't woke it. But again, even woke they will do good and add profits over time. The Mouse will win in the end. They have years to make a profit, Wall Street is the one that measures short term profits. Agree that they need to rethink what their own focus groups are saying. Back to the formula that could print money Va being woke. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jtb33: Buying "Star Wars" was still MASSIVELY profitable for Disney. The article is only taking into account box office receipts, saying just that by itself wasn't enough to cover the cost of buying Lucasfilm. Fair. However, that doesn't include all the revenue from other things like merchandising, etc. How much more that money would have generated in the stock market since they bought Lucasfilm?? |
