Quote:Big deal. There will always be another crappy movie that every teen and immature/mentally-ill adult wants to see. For example, The Blair Witch Project had an initial production budget of approximately $35,000 to $60,000. The micro-budget horror film went on to gross roughly $250 million globally at the box office. It is consistently listed as one of the scariest movies of all time.

Why are you always defending the $178 Billion Dollar corporation?
Aren't you supposed to be some sort of Communist or somethin'?
I never saw Blair Witch. It's among a huge amount of movies that I've never seen even after the price of admission for smart people became free back in the late 1990s.
I did see Paranormal Activity though. Only the first one. That was pretty fun.

Here is a simple example that you won't understand about how the profitable machine designed by Walt Disney works:

The Disney movies and TV are just advertisements for the real business of Disney, where most of its profits are made, which is the theme parks. People who actually buy a theater ticket are foolishly paying to see a two-hour-long advertisement enticing them to visit Disney parks for the Star Wars attractions.
Disney's movie and TV divisions (which include Disney+, Hulu, and traditional networks) generate more overall gross revenue than its theme parks, but the Disney Experiences segment (parks and cruises) is far more profitable, consistently generating the lion's share of the company's operating income.
A comparison of their financial footprints highlights the disparity between sales and actual profit:
Disney Experiences (Parks & Cruises)
• Revenue: Generates roughly $35 to $36 billion annually.
• Profitability: Highly lucrative, regularly driving around 70-75% of the company's total operating profit.
• Key Drivers: Record-setting results in the cruise line business and continuous price increases for tickets and resort stays.
Disney Entertainment (Movies & TV)
• Revenue: The Entertainment segment (including theatrical, content licensing, and direct-to-consumer streaming like Disney+ and Hulu) drives a larger top-line revenue—routinely exceeding $40 billion annually.
• Profitability: Significantly less profitable on an operating basis compared to parks. While streaming hit double-digit profit margins recently, the high costs of content production, marketing, and the steep decline in traditional linear TV (cable) viewer numbers continually weigh on overall segment profits.
• Key Drivers: Release of major theatrical blockbusters and subscriber growth on digital platforms.

Stop putting out shitty ads, or you're going to lose that business too.
Disney used to put out banger ads.
Star Wars used to make over a billion per ad. Now they can't make 1/4th of that.
It's a good thing that Disney doesn't make their own toys. They can just put Hasbro and Mattel and even LEGO out of business after fucking them over with their shitty ads.
Every dime they've invested in Star Wars at their parks was wasted. They can't even get anybody to visit their billion dollar Star Wars hotel, so they already closed that and are converting it into office buildings, rather than something that will make money for them.
Disney had better have a plan beyond catering to single adult children with too much money who voted for Kamala Harris.
You're a genetic dead end. When you're all gone, so is Disney's theme park business.

Quote:I am confident that Walt Disney Studios would never make anything remotely in the category of either Obsession or Backrooms. If you want to know why Disney would not touch either of these properties, download the movies:

Obsession https://uindex.org/details.php?id=103539721
Backrooms https://uindex.org/details.php?id=102656149
(The description does NOT match the movie, but it is Backrooms 2026 )
If you are the kind of person who likes these movies, please stay away from family-friendly places such as Disney World for the sake of the children at these amusement parks. Maybe you should not have children?
I know these made lots of money, but sometimes you should not do things even if it is profitable:

Oh. So now you're going to pretend to be holy again when defending the $187 Billion company.
Got it.
*yawn*
Let me know who you've been fantasizing about killing today, loser. I've got a very long archived post history of yours and all the people you want to kill.
At least the makers of The Backrooms aren't actively trying to groom your children like Diseny does.

Quote:Disney is doing it for money, but they aren't gonna make movies that appeal to the mentally ill teens and adults who buy tickets to Obsession (2026), Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Saw, or Evil Dead. The money is too contaminated for Disney to touch, even if it is hundreds of millions.

Dude. We get it. Disney doesn't make stuff that isn't deemed at least by somebody over there to be "safe" for little kids.
The problem is that over half of the country doesn't agree with Disney about what is and is not kid friendly.
You've spent the last 30 years putting on thicker and even thicker kid gloves and most of the kid-friendly program does nothing to challenge them at all. They just sit there and and get spoonfed agendas while their inert brains suck it all up like a sponge.
Very little cartoon violence, zero sexual acts and no swearing.
That's all it takes for stupid people like you to consider something kid friendly without even paying any attention to what is being taught to your kids.
It's got a Logo I recognize on it. It must be safe. I don't have to look into it or bother thinking at all.
Fuck Disney. Fuck Hollywood. And fuck you.
