If it doesn't THEN they may have a rough time. But guardians is doing great for em Also. RT is irrelevant at this point. Uf the audience likes it it will make money. Bur really all of these shows already flopped and some of them I didnt even know existed Guardians is just breaking even for them, not great. Quantumania already lost Disney $100+ million. Little Mermaid has a $200 million budget and is tracking to open the same as Quantumania, not good at all w/ a release packed summer. Elemental is opening the same day as The Flash, I doubt this will be the movie that breaks Pixar out of the slump of consecutive bombs since before Covid. The Marvels has another outrageous budget after being pushed back multiple times for multiple rounds of reshoots, and there is no way that movie does any better than Quantumania. Mandalorian Season 3 had way less viewers than previous seasons, Disney+ lost 2.2 million subs in Q4 2022 and 4 million subs in Q1 2023. --- Hello world! <cite>AngelsNAirwav3s posted [p:973567182] in Disney+ an...

Dark_Arbron 05/19/23 3:28:16 AM #60:	rexcrk posted... I really really want shit like this to be an eye opener for people to realize how important physical media is. Like, its one thing if you dont really care and are just a casual TV / movie watcher, I get that there are plenty of people (most likely the majority) who dont give enough of a shit, but Id really like it if more people came to appreciate actually owning what you like instead of perpetually renting. As always Jim Sterling was ahead of the curve on this one. Youd think the age of digital distribution would ensure preservation is easier than ever, but as we saw with P.T., the opposite seems to be true. Isnt Google also talking about removing videos from inactive accounts? If so, its a good idea to save a copy of whatever you watch because theres no guarantee it will be there forever. Im not going to say how to do that. Ironically, youd be better off Googling it. --- "The US is not a single country.

AngelsNAirwav3s 05/19/23 1:54:14 PM #90:	ZevLoveDOOM posted... does it really cost that much to keep those shows around? not that i was planning on watching any of them but still... It takes up server space, but the biggest reason is that they are doing this is because of the tax write offs. Streaming companies are basically valued on the size of their library of movies/shows. By removing a bunch of movies/shows that no one watches and acknowledging they are worthless, their streaming library shrinks and now it is worth $1.5 billion less. They now have this $1.5 billion loss that they can use to offset their total business revenue, lowering their taxes. US Corporate tax rate is 21%, so Disney just saved $315 million on Federal taxes they no longer have to pay. Their headquarters are in California, which has an additional state tax rate of 8.84%, which is another $133 million they no longer have to pay for state taxes. Granted Disney is a multinational company, their tax situation is probably a lot more complicated than this, but this is the gist of it. --- Hello world! <cite>AngelsNAirwav3s posted [p:973577094] in Disney+ an...

The_Yahtz09 05/19/23 2:09:38 PM #92:	Damn, that is a massive list. I know I said it before already, but it is insane that dumping content you produce is in any way beneficial. The system feels broken. Hope the writers strike does something about this. If I was an actor, I'd want the actor's guild to get involved too. It would be really shitty to be in one of these shows and get dumped. Different topic, but Zaslav dumping shows onto FAST services is such BS. If you want to put shows there, that's fine, but I pay a premium for streaming services to see things w/o ads. I kinda hate that I still have HBO Max, but HBO still is putting out great stuff. --- Arkansas Razorbacks \|\| Oklahoma City Thunder \|\| Cleveland Sports <cite>The_Yahtz09 posted [p:973577392] in Disney+ an...

Wuantumania had a sub 200m budget. It will break even. Guardians is way past breaking even. . Little Mermaid has a $200 million budget and is tracking to open the same as Quantumania, not good at all w/ a release packed summer. Its going to do way better than quantumania international. Like exponentially better. Elemental is opening the same day as The Flash, I doubt this will be the movie that breaks Pixar out of the slump of consecutive bombs since before Covid. Elementals only needs to be a meager success bit juries out on that. The Marvels has another outrageous budget after being pushed back multiple times for multiple rounds of reshoots, and there is no way that movie does any better than Quantumania. Nah, it will. The first captain marvel did way better than any of the ant man movies and has several characters coming off some well liked or to be well liked properties. If secret invasion hits they'll be fine. Mandalorian Season 3 had way less viewers than previous seasons, Disney+ lost 2.2 million subs in Q4 2022 and 4 million subs in Q1 2023.
