The Flash (They/Them) Bombs; Disney/Pixar’s Elemental Also Crashes
—Ace
It had been projected to open at $140 million domestic a few weeks ago. Just before release, that was chopped in half to $70 million domestic, which itself would have been a failure for a movie costing $250 million or more.
Actual first weekend take? 55 million.
A Disney news analyst, WDW_Pro, said the film will be one of the costliest failures of all time, and may lose $300 million.
Disney Pixar released the cartoon Elemental as counter-programming. It failed to counter-program. People largely just decided to sit out this stinker of a movie weekend. Disney Pixar’s latest disaster made only $29 million, not even reaching the very low $31-41 million opening that had been projected.
…
And on the horizon: the coming disaster, Indiana Jones and the Kathleen Kennedy Self-Insert.
…
If Disney were to sell Lucasfilm, which would have to be at a loss, suddenly they would have actual proof that Disney had run Lucasfilm into the ground. …Pixar, bought for $7.4 billion, has also been run into the ground, the MCU, bought for $4 billion, is also producing very “meh” movies too.
So the moment Disney confirms that LucasFilm is now worth less than half than what they paid for it, investors begin figuring that these other pricey purchases are also probably worth less than half of what Disney paid for them, and Disney’s share value plummets on this new information.
So selling LucasFilm for $1.5 billion would probably wipe out $10 billion of Disney’s share value.
That means that Disney has to hold on to all of these purchases just to hide their real (greatly diminished) value from the market.










Once upon a time, a good man founded a wonderful, family-oriented company. Then he died, and evil men turned the company into a billion-dollar, money-sucking business.
Walt Disney had good Christian values, which he integrated into many, if not all, of his films. His films were suitable for young audiences while still entertaining enough to charm older audiences.

Thank you, John. Lyrics from “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” have been quietly removed from the set list of Disneyland’s Magic Happens parade. The melody originates from the 1946 feature “Song of the South,” which has been criticized for featuring racist imagery and themes. [March 7, 2023, 9:54 AM CST / Source: Variety]

I kicked myself for not shorting PayPal when I had the chance; same with Transheiser and Target. This time, I’m taking a flyer against this woke operation. I’ll let you know how it works out.
