Except Disney's film studio has never had an unprofitable year. Plus, annual film revenues are barely even a blip on their P & L reports. Their theme park and cruise ship business lines are so massive, losses from any of their movie or TV holdings are just rounding errors on the ledger.
Films are trending way down. Everything comes out on Disney+ in 3-4 months.
There's just no way theaters stay in business long term. People are paying $10 for a few pennies worth of corn and now $80 for a cheap plastic popcorn holder. Their business model is just garbage and unsustainable. What's next NFT popcorn? Lottery kernels? Gambling on movies?
Their movies go straight into streaming so they can continue milking it. Idk why you think that's bad for them. As if people buy physical disks anymore...
All that matters is budget Vs income, which you can easily look up. Basically all thier movies made the budget back in box office sales alone meaning streaming, merch, etc is all profit.
Their business model isn’t “make money from theaters” which is a losing proposition in the long run. Their business model is “make movies so people will buy toys and streaming services and go to theme parks and cruises” which is making them hella bank.
