    I’m trying to explain why this movie was not successful in the box office
    To break even if needs to make a certain amount of money but it hasn’t

    But you haven’t watched it
    Because if you have you would have told us why it was good or bad

    @ROXRAN

    Disney is a publicly traded company and many employees have stock in the company
    They already fired a top executive

    They want Minnie Mouse
    They want Mickey Mouse
    They don’t want woke Lightyear
    They won’t get out of the house
    They want Dumbo
    They don’t want Lesbo
    They don’t want that at that age
    They want Tim Allen not Ellen Page
    They want kids shows with mom and pop
    They better do it or that stock will drop

    So, people on the right are opposed to this movie because they don't like the proposed values.
    But I thought they were the ones most opposed to cancel culture.

    Or is it okay to cancel this movie because it is itself a symptom of the cancel culture canceling heterosexual norms and Tim Allen?

    I'm getting confused.

    Well this was a beat
    like when you drop a rhyme
    Or a song

    I didn’t watch this movie
    Did you ? I mean it got beat up about kids movie with yellow pac man looking things
    Beat by Elvis, he’s an singer from back in the day
    Beat by Tom cruise flying jets
    I think it was also beat by a movie about dead kids and a telephone

    Who cares what Saudi Arabia and China bans? I thought you were anti-China any ways?

    Are we raising freedom loving Americans that should have the ability to tolerate others and their beliefs or are we trying to raise Saudi or Chinese children?

    Didn't Saudi ban Pokemon? Should we keep that away from kids too?

    Also, wasn't you criticizing Disney for bending the knee to these countries like a month ago? I mean they could have easily removed this kiss to have it shown in other countries and yet they didn't, they stuck by it. They stuck by a nanosecond kiss instead of changing their movie to fit the chinese audience, which you are now hoping for them to do...

    It's crazy DD, we have people actually looking at theocratic countries like Saudi Arabia and going "Man, I wish we could be more like that and ban things that offend me!"

    Then these same people whine about cancel culture.

    So... since June 17 (the day Lightyear was released), Disney stock is up about 20%.

    And they've added 14,000,000+ subscribers and now leads steaming services in subscribers.

    Why is factual data LOL?

    I thought Disney wokeism was going to be their downfall.

    The reality is that they want to cancel you and anyone else they disagree with. Ultimate bubble chamber.

    their profits were up thanks to their muppets not ignoring kids

    https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/10/business/disney-earnings-profit.html

    Strong demand for theme-park vacations — despite economists’ worries about an inflation-led downturn in consumer spending — powered Disney’s increase in profitability. Revenue totaled $21.5 billion, a 26 percent increase from a year earlier. Operating profit surged 50 percent, to $3.6 billion. Analysts had been expecting revenue of about $21 billion and profit of about $3.2 billion, according to FactSet
