Bad year for Disney.

Disney puts out 80% of movies now that they own 80% of studios

So these numbers don't add up, are they adding marketing to the costs column when calculating the losses?

The article has the full breakdown.

I was like 219-206=237?

Having these three figures presented as the summary invites that kind of equation. After all:

net income = revenue - expenses

But it looks like its a bit more complex, taking The Marvels as an example the $206.1m box office really converts to only $88m theatrical revenue for the studio. Then:

revenue = (theatrical + home entertainment + television and streaming)
218m    = (88m + 40m + 90m)

expenses = (production costs + prints and ads + residuals and other distribution expenses + interest and overhead + participation)
455m     = (270m + 110m + 21m + 54m + 0m)

net income = revenue - expenses
-237m      = 218m - 455m

The never ending debate, has superhero fatigue finally happened, or is it just shitty writing.

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 4 points 1 year ago

I knew most modern Disney movies sucked.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought The Flash was good

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Out of the 5 movies on this list, The Flash was the one I enjoyed the most (I didn't see Dial of Destiny or Haunted Mansion).

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I can't stand the Justice League movies or Bats v Supes, but somehow I enjoyed the Flash (for the most part).

Or maybe I was just drunk enough to like it. Idk
