They don't have a printing press and venture capital has dried up.
Their shares are down $104 from their peak 2 years ago. They've laid off 7,000 employees so far in 2023. They lost 4 Million subscribers to Disney+ which makes two straight quarters of losses for their streaming service. They're being sued for lying to investors about their Disney+ numbers. They're shutting down their failed Star Wars hotel at the theme park. They seem to have a new brawl happening at one of their American theme parks every week. They've lost their "family friendly" and "kid safe" expectations. Except for Guardians of the Galaxy which is doing moderately OK for a Marvel flick, and White Men Can't Panther last year, they've put out one losing movie after another for going on 2 years now (I'm not counting the few winners put out by FOX Studios, who Disney is rewarding by downsizing). Their last two live remakes went straight to Disney+ because they knew they'd bomb in the theaters. They're stuck putting The Little Mermaid in theaters because of their identity politics and they hyped it up so much and already sunk more money into marketing it than it cost to make.
Disney is mortally wounded right now.
They'd better do something, and quick.

SMB overtakes The Lion King this weekend to place it 14th all-time domestic and 2nd place for animated all-time domestic. This, as I'd predicted long ago, is where it will land by the time it is removed from theaters. It would have to make another $59 Million before then to become the highest grossing animated film, and with only $9.8 million over the weekend and summer movie season ramping up that would be nearly impossible.
Here's the records that it holds today:
All Time Domestic Animated Box Office: 2
All Time Domestic Box Office: 14
All Time Domestic Inflation Adjusted Box Office: 43
All Time Domestic Non-Sequel Box Office: 5
Top 2023 Movies at the Domestic Box Office: 1
All Time Domestic Box Office for Based on Game Movies: 1
All Time Domestic Box Office for Digital Animation Movies: 2
All Time Domestic Box Office for Kids Fiction Movies: 2
All Time Domestic Box Office for Action Movies: 10
All Time Domestic Box Office for PG Movies: 2
All Time Domestic Box Office for Universal Movies: 2
