Disney+ lost 2.4 million subscribers in Q4 of 2022. It also lost $1.5 Billion in the same quarter. To date, Disney+ has lost money every single quarter since it started in 2019.

6ix, it is not a 9 hour A3 movie. It is 12 episodes, each 45 minutes long, of the Avatar 3 TV season.

There are no Trumptards working at Disney. It's all woke Leftists that will be crying on Twitter about how unfair life is. Staring with Bob Chapek and and Ultra-Woke Victoria Alonzo who ruined Marvel Phase 4 and just got her walking papers last Friday.

...

Disney's had a slight bump recently with the news of some of the woke trash being thrown out the window, but that's not going to last because they've effectively killed the Star Wars and Marvel brands and don't appear to be doing anything to change course on either of them. None of their non-Star Wars and non-Marvel properties are making any money either outside of Avatar... And that technically is a Fox Studios production, just like Spider-Man: No Way Home (the only Marvel movie to meet expectation since Avengers: End Game) was.

Disney defies DeSantis by hosting the world's largest corporate LGBTQ conference sponsored by Apple, Walmart and Amazon - after governor cracked down on the Magic Kingdom for slamming his 'Don't Say Gay' law


The Walt Disney Company will host a major LGBTQ conference at its Florida resort later this year, after clashing with Ron DeSantis on gay rights issues including his so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law.

The Out & Equal Workplace Summit, which bills itself as 'the largest LGBTQ+ conference in the world,' will be held at Disney World in September, after last year's event in Las Vegas.

The conference is expected to draw 5,000 attendees and is sponsored by a number of iconic American companies, including Apple, Amazon, Walmart, McDonald's, JPMorgan, and Boeing.

Disney itself also has a longstanding relationship with Out & Equal and is a top-tier sponsor for the group. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com on Wednesday evening.

An Out & Equal spokesman told the Miami Herald that Disney World has also committed to hosting next year's event, which would be held in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election.

That's good financial shepherding, Disney.

Keep destroying your brand to appease 5,000 uber-left wackadoos.




You've apparently learned nothing. Class is still in session.



To everybody else... Don't buy Disney stocks yet. They're still far to high.

I'm a bit skeptical about that though since that is based off a prediction that Puss in Boots beats it, and he only has that movie predicted at making $1.1 Million. I think Avatar will do better than that.

Unless this truly is the end for A2's run, that would require over a 50% drop from last weekend. A2 hasn't seen a 50%+ drop since its 2nd weekend, and the last 4 weekends were only 20%+ drops, with the weekend before that only seeing a 9% drop.

It is part of the long Hollywood tradition of having the identical twin played by the same actor in a different costume. That's a spoiler: one of these Avatar movies will probably reveal that the daughter is genetically identical to the mother. If you are still speculating who the father was of the daughter, you can stop because I predict that there was no father.

All that to explain why I picked my avatar to be Summer Glau as an Avatar:

I think theater counts are really going to drop soon and the new Marvel drek comes out this weekend, but it's already at $649+ Million. Even though it won't come close to touching Maverick's $718+ Million, it will beat $660 Million by quite a bit, IMO.

Until we have more info after this weekend, I'm going to split the difference and call it $689 Million for A2's final domestic take. But really that depends on how quickly the Theater Owners want to get it out of their theaters. If it doesn't come close to Maverick's 203 days in the theaters, it probably isn't going to make another $40 Million, so the high cost of showing it coupled with the high ticket prices might really hurt it on the back end, like I predicted quite a while ago.

---

Now we watch A2 make less than $675,000 on Monday through Thursday and lose another $2.25 Million ground to Maverick going into Weekend 16, which would give Maverick a $21 M+ lead.

A2's Theater count on February 15th: 3,065
A2's Current Theater count: 935
A2's Domestic Gross on February 15th: $650,432,427
A2's current Domestic Gross: $680,440,963

Also, the "new Marvel drek" (Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania) was drek.

Common on the West Coast, especially around Hollywood, is a belief in Buddhism and, its most interesting feature as a religion, reincarnation. Avatar 2 had the dead human villains from Avatar 1 reincarnated as Avatars. They came back as themselves, but bigger, stronger, bluer. The chief villain was threatened with these words: "Demon, I will kill you as many times as I have to!" That wasn't an empty promise. It happened, but there was a save so that the villain can return for Avatar 3. Avatar is not like John Wick 1 through 4, and someday 5, where Keanu Reeves needs new villains to kill for each new movie.

You are such a worrying weenie:

---

You're the one that goes around with false claims that people aren't paying their taxes.

You are also the one admitting to stealing everything you can and directing others here to do as you do. I hope you're paying Federal and State taxes on all the stuff you stole.

I do have all of your personal information. If somebody were to ask me for it, even if it wasn't for one of your death threats, they might be looking to get you for one of your less serious crimes that you've admitted to here.

I promise though. If it wasn't about the death threats or the taxes, nobody is getting your info from me. I'll make sure they aren't a Kenyan Prince or a Proud Boy first too.




In the meantime, why don't you stay out of the Cinema boards and go back to giving us our daily update about how we're all going to die in a nuclear war if we don't keep giving Billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. Yanno... Real brave things that you like to do on these boards like that.

Despite just a small dip in The-Number's Weekend 7 prediction (3% more of a loss than they expected, vs 12% better than I'd thought it would have done), it appears that they've savagely downgraded Avatar's final domestic take in their model, dropping it far below what I even would have predicted at this point.

$665 Million is what they think it will end up with now, which is $53+ Million shy of Maverick's domestic total.

Maybe Bruce has been looking at my thread.

A2's Thursday take: $127,644

Maverick's Lead into Weekend 16: $21,527,907.

Maverick's numbers level out quite a bit from here on out, but especially with only a theater count of 675 for A2 it should still be taking in close to 3 times as much per day as A2 until A2 is kicked out of theaters.

At least 3 days this week A2 should make less than 100k per day, and Maverick was still seeing $200 to $400k per day for the next to weeks and $2.2 to $2.5 Million per weekend.

This will most likely be A2's first Sub-$1M weekend.

A2 isn't in Bruce's top 10 or even mentioned in the article this week.

It has Cocaine Bear at 10 with $930k, so Bruce is expecting at least a 31.5% drop from A2's 15th weekend, which wouldn't be a stretch since it lost 35% last weekend and another 260 theaters going into this weekend.

Maverick made another $3,157,227 on Weekend 16, so it should be up close to a $24 Million lead going into Monday.

Maverick's Day 109: $270,658

That's A2's first sub-$100k day. Maverick didn't see that for a full 3 weeks until Day 130.

It's high enough though that I expect it only to happen one or two more times this week. It won't be every day because A2 should easily climb $7k today on Cheap Seat Tuesday. Wednesday will be a coin flip since half the time A2's Wednesday matched A2's Monday, and the other half the time it has eclipsed A2's Monday by up to 20%. Thursday is almost always a match or lower than Monday though.

It's actually making about 70% more per theater per day right now than Maverick was, despite its much lower overall daily gross.

I still think that it's probably worth it to some theater owners (particularly the large chains with their Megaplex locations) to keep this one going for a while, and I do believe that it could stay somewhere in the area of 150 to 200 theaters for quite some time, especially if its on bigger screens like IMAX if they don't have anything better to show, and people want to get one last fix of the spectacle on the big screen before it's only available at home where nobody is going to bother watching it since without the special effects it's trite Mickey Mouse bullshit.

I think the idea that it could hang on long enough to crack $700 Million is a fading dream at this point, but maybe they could keep it going for 203 days like they did for Maverick in just a handful of theaters and possibly end up getting my $689 Million prediction from a few months ago.
