Did HBO MAX kill off The Suicide Squad performance? Looks like it.
Did Warner Media really drop the ball on this one? Initial streaming numbers appear to be blowing away the box office revenues, indicating perhaps how much money Warner left on the table by releasing James Gunn's new THE SUICIDE SQUAD film with Margot Robby, John Cena, and Idris Elba on HBO MAX ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neMIrW0IT5s
The Batman Movie 2022 | Box Office FAIL vs Batman 1989 & The Dark Knight? | Financial Comparison
How does The Batman ( Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson ) financially compare at the box office to Tim Burton and Michael Keaton Batman 1989 and Chris Nolan Christian Bale The Dark Knight of 2008?
A lot of discussion abounds regarding the alleged success fo this new Batman movie in 2022 but so far it is vastly underperforming its most popular predecessors when we adjust for ticket price inflation.

Understanding The Movie Theater Box Office & How It Might Change After 2021 (Part 1)
An October 2020 Research Report from Accounting Firm Juggernaut Deloitte did a dive into the state of the Movie Theater Box Office industry during the height of the Pandemic Era lockdowns while theaters were closed or highly restricted. It discusses not only an overview of how theatrical revenue sharing works with Hollywood movie studios, but also contains survey data on people's desires to venture to the big screen vs. Video On Demand services like Disney Plus and HBO MAX.
This report gives us an interesting view to establish parameters moving forward, particularly since so much has changed this year (2021) regarding how studios elect to release their traditionally theatrical only titles.
Bottom line is that there are very likely to be some MAJOR CHANGES (and some have surely already begun) behind the scenes in how studios will engage in revenue sharing with theatrical exhibitioners like AMC, Cinemark, etc...
This is PART ONE of the discussion, which will pose a few questions and establish a foundation to make some educated hypothesis and discuss real world 2021 examples in the NEXT video (PART TWO). We will also discuss in the next video how various studios have approached this new landscape differently while trying to manage and grow their own proprietary streaming services and using PVOD (Premium Video on Demand).

If You’re going to spend the efforts of a doctoral college thesis denigrating Star Wars fans, maybe you should try and debate objectively instead of blanketing the same, tired, old mental gymnastics that thinking folks have had to eye-roll and suffer for decades.
If you care to care to have an adult conversation of the MERITS of Disney Star Wars. Please offer your thoughts without ridiculous and baseless insults.

Wakanda Forever 2nd Weekend CRASHES | Star Wars ANDOR "Chasing Audience" | DISNEY Should Be In A PANIC
Wakanda Forever Black Panther 2 from Disney Marvel Studios is TANKING in the second weekend almost exactly by the numbers I projected here on Valliant Renegade earlier this week, JUST LIKE DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS AND THOR LOVE AND THUNDER.
And Tony Gilroy earlier this week let the cat out the bag, lamentinting to Variety magazine in an interview that Disney Lucasfilm Star Wars Disney Plus show ANDOR was "Chasing the Audience" following rather terrible Nielsen streaming ratings over the last several weeks. Seems to confirm my previous statements that Star Wars was becoming a DEAD BRAND.
But it's not just STAR WARS. Marvel is failing at every turn, bringing in only fractions of pre - AVENGERS ENDGAME audiences to films and TV shows.

Wakanda Forever Black Panther 2 TANKS 73% in Monday Box Office After HUGE Weekend Open of $330M Worldwide
The Monday Domestic Box Office for Black Panther 2 Wakanda Forever dropped a MASSIVE 73% in one of the very WORST MCU showings on a first Monday in the franchise's history.
Disney needs this film to break roughly $800M before it starts seeing any profits and that mark is looking more and more difficult after what is shaping up be a VERY heavily front-loaded opening weekend.
Second weekend returns will either confirm or deny this supposition and Disney can only hope a stronger than average third weekend (Thanksgiving) may help to bail them out.

Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Galactic Starcruiser FAILURE THEATER? - Disney needs Cash Flow NOW... BAD. And Baby Yoda / Grogu might just bail them out.
As much as we'd all love to see radical changes made in the Star Wars theme parks to.. I dunno... ACTUAL Star Wars, this is a huge undertaking that will likely require YEARS to evolve.
The new Star Wars Disney Hotel, Galactic Starcruiser, part the Galaxy's Edge (Galaxys Edge) experience in Disney parks has gotten off to a terrible start with a preview trailer released on YouTube that shocked fans... and NOT in a good way.
Star Wars fans previously booked for $6000 two-night stays at the attraction began canceling reservations. The backlash from Star Wars fans was SO bad that Disney abruptly pulled the video from youtube in the hopes to stop the bleeding.
We dive into two articles from the past 24 hours from ThatParkPlace.com and WDW Pro and recent reporting from Park Hoppin' and Jay ( aka Drunk3PO ) as we examine some possible financial implications and why this problem will likely take years to correct.

Star Wars The Acolyte Cost $250M ?! | Disney Lucasfilm & Marvel Studios Cost Disney Plus Too Much | Disney CEO Bob Iger needs to reign this in | Disney Spends $49 Million On Star Wars Spinoff ‘The Acolyte’ | Another Kathleen Kennedy Star Wars show no one asked for?
A recent filing by Disney / Lucasfilm / Blue Stockings LTD in the UK shows the latest Star Wars Disney Plus show THE ACOLYTE (currently in post production) spent about $50 Million USD in the pre-production phase alone through September 24th, 2022. This would have included writing, art and set design along with construction, props and costumes, and opening a lease with the brand new multi-billion dollar soundstage facility in Britain, Shinfield Studios.
If we extrapolate the final costs from those of pre-production when compared to similar projects in the past, The Acolyte final cost will likely be in the $250M range.
Disney, like many studios often elect to conduct physical production in the UK to take advantage of lucrative tax incentives like the UK Film Tax Credit program, which offers up to 25% back on qualified production expenses made in the country.
The problem ultimately is that Disney Plus has struggled GREATLY to financially perform thanks to enormous costs of production for what Bob Iger refers to as "Core Content" like Star Wars and Marvel products. Iger recently made cuts to production and content but those cuts are for projects going FORWARD, not those already greenlit (contracted) AND well underway.
The Acolyte (Star Wars / Lucasfilm) was greenlit back in March 2021 and finally went into physical production in the second half of 2022, with principal photography starting in October/November 2022 and reportedly concluding on schedule in late May 2023 just before the WGA and SAG AFTRA strikes began.

The Bob Iger led Walt Disney Company 3rd Quarter Earnings Call is August 9th 2023 and things are getting pretty crazy in the House Of Mouse. The reunion with former Disney Executives Tom Staggs and Kevin Mayer made BIG headlines in stock market news and entertainment news outlets.
Disney CEO Bob Iger Cries For Help After Getting In Over His Head | Iger, Disney bring BACK Tom Staggs and Kevin Mayer as "Consultants" under private contract to help Iger navigate streaming and linear broadcast TV as well as possible sales.
There was a time when Tom Staggs was the clear front runner to be Bob Iger's successor back in 2016 before Iger was renewed ... again. Staggs departed after the Walt Disney COmpany Board and Iger himself allegedly lost confidence in him after believing him to be the NEXT Disney CEO.
Kevin Mayer meanwhile helped Disney and Bob Iger acquire such properties as Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and even FOX before departing in 2020.
Tom Staggs and Kevin Mayer reunited as partners in a small but growing entertainment company called CANDLE MEDIA. Both still privately consult with major studios such as Warner Bros and David Zaslav and now with Disney.
MIGHT the board be tempted also to ask Tom Staggs to STAY at Disney this time and takeover as CEO?
