“O estúdio teve um prejuízo operacional no terceiro trimestre de cerca de US $170 milhões, que foi impulsionado pelo baixo desempenho de títulos para o cinema, incluindo ‘Fênix Negra’, marketing para lançamentos futuros e despesas de desenvolvimento”, disse a CFO da Disney, Christine McCarthy.
A Disney merece muito mais por ter estragado a Marvel e o Star Wars.É sempre bom ver essa empresa asquerosa tomando um prejuízo de vez em quando.Disney culpa “X-Men: Fênix Negra” por não conseguir bater meta de lucro
O último trimestre da Walt Disney Company não foi um dos melhores da empresa, que caiu cerca 700 milhões de dólares em relação às previsões. Durante uma conferência para a imprensa, um executivo da Disney colocou a culpa parcialmente em alguns filmes, incluindo o último dos mutantes, Fênix Negra.
Segundo ele, o baixo desempenho de X-Men: Fênix Negra, que arrecadou míseros 252 milhões de dólares mundialmente, foi uma das razões para o prejuízo operacional da Disney nos últimos três meses.
McCarthy fez questão de salientar, no entanto, que vários dos filmes sob a marca da Disney tiveram desempenhos admiráveis nos últimos meses, como Aladdin, Toy Story 4, O Rei Leão e, claro, Vingadores: Ultimato, que se tornou a maior bilheteria dos cinemas de todos os tempos.
X-Men: Fênix Negra foi lançado em junho de 2019 e além de ter ido mal na arrecadação, também foi massacrado pela crítica, ostentando 23% de aprovação no site agregador de críticas, Rotten Tomatoes.

Concordo plenamente e ainda acrescento as animações da própria Disney, que estão sendo massacradas pelos remakes "live action" sem alma que ela vem produzindo atualmente. Espero que se foda ainda mais, simplesmente porque ela faz por merecer.A Disney merece muito mais por ter estragado a Marvel e o Star Wars.É sempre bom ver essa empresa asquerosa tomando um prejuízo de vez em quando.

O live action do Rei Leão simplesmente não faz sentido. O original tinha como fundação as liberdades da animação, as cores, o sobrenatural, os animais com expressões humanizadas, os elefantes tocando trombete... aí os caras vão e lançam um live-action realista, cinza, sem expressão e fica totalmente desconjuntado nos musicais. Ele se sustenta exclusivamente na nostalgia... e nem isso faz direito.
Because of ABC’s renewed focus on female-focused fare, the network was the only one of the Big 4 not to hear the pitch.
...stars Lundgren as a covert operative at the Department of Safety and Security at the UN. He is described as the UN’s secret special agent, a one-man S.W.A.T. team and hostage negotiator.
É o tópico desse vídeo. Ele explica exatamente o que a Disney está tentando fazer com esses remakes e a razão de remakes muitas vezes falharem. Com o plus de citar o remake amador do Indiana Jones por estudantes como um ótimo exemplo de remake feito pela paixão pelo material.Esse é o problema, as franquias exploradas pela Disney se sustentam pela nostalgia intangível, praticamente quem vai assistir não busca algo de qualidade e sim é motivado por causa do "nome", pra mim acaba meio que sendo parecido a ir numa "igreja", virou costume mesmo não tendo sentido real.
No tópico da Capitã Marvel aparecia users vendo reviews criticando o filme e depois disso foram assistir como "cordeirinhos".
Disney Turns Down Sylvester Stallone Series Because It's Not 'Female-Focused'
As if we needed any more evidence about Disney's biased agenda, it is learned their ABC network turned down the opportunity to hear a pitch about an upcoming Dolph Lundgren and Sylvester Stallone action drama series because it is not "female-focused."
Word comes from Deadline, of all places, about ABC passing on the project because it is not a female show as Deadline notes:
As the blurb mentions, this isn't something new as Disney and ABC are renewing their focus on "female-focused fare."
The description for the Dolph Lundgren and Sylvester Stallone series, titled The International, offers that Lundgren will star and that Stallone will executive produce and possibly direct, which will be written by drama veteran Ken Sanzel (Reef Break, Numbers). We see that Disney doesn't appear to like that the series:
So even if the series was the best show ever, we see that Disney didn't even bother to learn anything about it, simply because it stars Dolph Lundgren. More than likely if the series was starring a female actor and character they would have heard the pitch.
Disney's agenda continues with Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, more
ABC isn't alone as being a part of Disney's "female-focused fare" as the Disney films, Marvel Studios, Pixar and Star Wars movies are all now female-focused. Of course, while there is nothing wrong with promoting the female side of things, what Disney is doing is wrong because it comes at the expense of their male counterparts.
All the Disney Star Wars male characters are buffoons or bad guys, which is why the franchise failed with The Last Jedi and is currently in dire straits; Toy Story 4 follows a similar theme (and also is failing to live up to its predecessor at the box office and with number of tickets sold), and the Kevin Feige Marvel movies are now on par for the same course which started with Brie Larson and the Captain Marvel movie hating on male characters. Recently also saw Marvel Studios producer Victoria Alonso also say that the X-Men are outdated simply because it includes "men" as part of the word.
Feige and Marvel recently announced their Phase 4 slate of MCU flicks which includes a Scarlett Johansson Black Widow movie; an Angelina Jolie starring Eternals movie that replaces classic male characters with females; the first Asian superhero movie with Shang-Chi; Doctor Strange 2 which will also star Elizabeth Olsen; Thor: Love and Thunder which will feature Natalie Portman as Female Thor with Tessa Thompson searching for her queen of New Asgard; the Disney Plus series include WandaVision starring Olsen; Loki, with it rumored to feature female versions of the character; Hawkeye, which looks to pass the baton to a female character; The Falcon and the Winter Soldier which appears to be some sort of politically correct anti-government take on Captain America, and the What If? animated series is said to feature classic male characters getting replaced with female superheroes as well.
Checking the list of eleven Disney films that are slated to be released within the next couple of years only reveals around three that star males, including Dwayne Johnson's Jungle Cruise, Artemis Fowl and Onward. Of course, there is no guarantee a feminist spin won't be placed on those flicks (again which in Hollywood is promoting female characters at the expense of making the male characters look bad and overall goofy).

Eu diria que ele não vai precisar nem desses minutos, levando em conta o que ele fez com o Thor em Ragnarok e o que os irmãos Russo fizeram posteriormente com o personagem, em Endgame. Já deturparam a mitologia e detonaram o personagem mais que o suficiente nesses dois filmes. A diferença é que, no próximo filme, isso será feito exclusivamente por lacração e nada mais. Não é para menos que o MCU morreu, dando lugar ao All New, All Different MCU (Mediocre Clown Universe).Marvel's Thor: Love and Thunder Director Taika Waititi Trolls Thor Fans: "I'll Ruin Your Mythos in a Minute, Baby"

Um dia desses eu vi que o gadoflix postou ums filmes "novos" antigos e qual fui correr rever?
Antigamente os filmes custavam menos que um episódio de seriado atual, mas era certeiros
Eu só espero que o Jason Statham não termine como o The Rock.Tem razão... acabou mesmo.
Nós acima de 30 vamos ter que nos contentar com as reprises.
Quero nem pensar quando Sly, Schwarza, Tom Cruise, Keanu e os poucos que restam dessa geração se aposentarem.
Clint Eastwood e Chuck Norris não tiveram substitutos. The Rock que era promissor foi para o lado de filmes comédia família (porque hoje os filmes de brucutu que ele fazia seriam taxados de machistas).
Mas é exatamente esse o ponto. Keanu Reeves não é dessa geração. Mas será que terá substituto com essa linha que estamos vendo?Vocês são muito pessimistas, sempre vai ter filme idiota, mas sempre vai ter filme foda, se existe pessoas que querem ver filme de macho dando porrada e tiro, vai ter alguém fazendo.
Sim, estamos no auge da lacração, mas é modinha e modinha passa.
Eu só espero que o Jason Statham não termine como o The Rock.
Eu acho que ainda tem espaço pra ele na Warner, Sony, Universal e Paramount.Ele meio que sumiu, agora com a Fox na mão da Disney nada de Carga Explosiva, Lionsgate acho que mudou o perfil das produções. Sobrou para ele participar das franquias de ação dos outros.
Com a fama que esse site tem, o último post vale ouro, rachei de rir
Engraçado, acabo de dizer exatamente isso, os fãs - e falo do público que compra ingressos, blu-rays, colecionáveis e cia, não os que baixam Torrents e se envergonham pra mostrar pros amigos cult que tem "brinquedinhos" - são tratados como monstros, mas ainda assim, dia após dia falam onde a Disney está errando.Disney falls most since 2015 as Star Wars stumble slams results
Walt Disney Co. (DIS.N 4.94%) shares took their worst tumble in nearly four years after the opening of the most highly anticipated theme-park attraction in the company’s history fell flat, hammering results in its latest quarter.
Profit at the company’s domestic resorts slumped in the period, which was marked by the ballyhooed opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the largest addition ever to the Disneyland resort in Anaheim, California. A second version of the space-themed land opens in Florida this month.
The report came after markets closed Tuesday, and the entertainment titan’s high-flying shares fell as much as 6.8 per cent, the most since August 2015, to US$132.26 in New York trading Wednesday.
The earnings shortfall was a shock to investors who were counting on Disney’s market-dominating theme parks and films to shoulder the burden of growth as the company goes head to head with Netflix Inc. in streaming. Spending on movies and TV shows for new online services led to a US$553 million loss in Disney’s direct-to-consumer division.
Last quarter, the company released “Avengers: Endgame,” the highest-grossing movie of all time, as well as “Aladdin” and “Toy Story 4.” But “Dark Phoenix,” a Marvel movie inherited in the US$71 billion acquisition of Fox assets, spoiled the party, and the company took a write-off on the film.
Christine McCarthy, Disney’s chief financial officer, acknowledged on a call Tuesday that fewer annual pass holders visited the company’s California resort. She also said some potential visitors to Florida parks put off their trips to await the opening of the new Star Wars land there.
Disney shares were up 29 per cent this year through Tuesday’s close, compared with 15 per cent for the S&P 500 Index, even though the Burbank, California-based company had warned of high costs in the years ahead as it presses into streaming.
As the Star Wars opening approached, Disney tried to manage an anticipated surge in crowds at its California resort. For example, the company allowed only those with reservations to enter the attraction for the first three weeks. But social media was aflutter with images of lightly walked streets and short waits for attractions. Sales of Star Wars merchandise slumped, the company said Tuesday.
Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger had said he didn’t even need to advertise the new attraction, since anticipation among Star Wars fans was so high. But the company has since stepped up promotions of Galaxy’s Edge on billboards and social media. Disney also lifted restrictions on employees attending the attractions and introduced some discount pricing for season pass holders.
Big Miss
It all added up to a big miss for the usually reliable entertainment giant.
Disney’s profit, excluding some items, slumped to US$1.35 a share in the quarter ended June 29, missing the US$1.75 average of analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue missed forecasts by more than US$1 billion, with the company saying the lower attendance led to reduced profit at its domestic parks.
“The market will be disappointed with the top- and bottom-line misses,” said Richard “Trip” Miller, founder of Gullane Capital Partners, based in Memphis, Tennessee. “This is a transition quarter for Disney, as they onboard Fox assets and spend capital to invest in the three direct-to-consumer products.”
Profit at the TV division, Disney’s biggest, rose 15 per cent, buoyed by the cable division, which absorbed Fox channels including FX and National Geographic. Disney incurred restructuring charges of US$207 million related to the Fox acquisition following the first full quarter of ownership.
Iger said he had no long-term concerns about the Star Wars attractions.
“There was tremendous concern in the marketplace that there was going to be huge crowding when we opened Galaxy’s Edge and so some people stayed away,” he said on a conference call. “All the local hotels in the region, expecting an influx of visitation, raised their prices. So it simply got more expensive to come stay in Anaheim.”
Disneyland’s own price increases also may have kept crowds at bay, he said.
“We feel great about the product,” Iger said. “It could just take some time for things to work themselves out.”
