The Flash Is DEAD | Indiana Jones NEXT | Dial Of Destiny Projected BOX OFFICE FLOP | Disney Lucasfilm & Kathleen Kennedy's FINAL FAILURE | How much will Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny LOSE at the box office?
Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny is projected to have an AWFUL $140M GLOBAL Opening weekend and there doesn't seem to be much hope in the Hollywood media for this films financial salvation.
The FLash from Warner Bros DC doesn't look much better as it's box office run seems to be coming to a close much sooner than Warner had hoped for. Disney Lucasfilm may be looking at the same problem with Indiana Jones 5 given poor reviews, audience disinterest, and the fact that Mission Impossible 7 Dead Reckoning Part 1 will drop just 12 days later.

DISNEY Says NO To APPLE in "MAGIC FREE" Earnings Call | Bob Iger Delivers Lackluster Performance for Wall Street and addresses the APPLE buy-out rumors... | Stock Market News Today
Entertainment Business News Today | Disney News Today | Disney Stock | Disney Earnings Call | Apple Disney Merger | Disney Box office flops
The Walt Disney Company Earnings call went off without much confidence from CEO Robert Iger and that seems to be the general consensus from Wall Street as well.
The Walt Disney Company didn't have a very good quarter. Much of the good news was only good news due to massive write-offs and write-downs for cancelled shows, canceled Galactic StarCruiser, over $2 Billion in impairment charges etc... In other words, it really wasn't the income that helped Disney beat the earnings per share estimates.
ESPN and ABC along with other linear broadcast channels saw continued declines in revenue as Disney desperately wants to dump things like ABC, FX, and National Geographic while also getting the core live sports content of ESPN to streaming as fast as possible.
Bob Iger also was asked about whether the rumors regarding a buy-out of DISNEY by APPLE have any merit and Iger was quick to shoot those down.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek Drops the Hammer In Company Memo - w/ Kamran Pasha -- MAJOR Implications for Kevin Feige, Kathleen Kennedy, Marvel Studios Marvel Entertainment, Lucasfilm, Pixar, Disney animation Studios, et al ...
Following articles from The Hollywood press featuring Disney Distribution Chief Kareem Daniel announcing yet another Pixar film, TURNING RED, being yanked from theatrical distribution, rumors swirl of yet another Marvel project undergoing "substantial" reshoots like DR STRANGE AND THE MULTIVERSE. This time it's MS MARVEL for DISNEY PLUS ( Disney+ ) featuring a new and little known Marvel character KAMALA KHAN.
Amidst all this comes a VERY strongly worded company wide memo at DISNEY by DISNEY CEO BOB CHAPEK following up statements last year where he mentioned that DISNEY would return to a distribution focused model of business. I told you this was Chapek saying effectively that the audience would be put in the drivers seat of determining what sort of content Disney would be generating.
Today in Chapek's memo, he spells out EXACTLY what it means, and there are some SERIOUS HEADS UP reveals in this if you know how to read between the lines.
KAMRAN PASHA is back aboard for for a VERY in depth conversation on this. Make sure you stick around til the end as this is jammed full of information.

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.

Is A New Disney Lucasfilm Star Wars Movie REALLY Happening or Has Disney Had Enough of Kathleen Kennedy? Is Damon Lindelof REALLY working on a new movie or is it all just talk for now? Featuring @WDW_Pro & Kamran Pasha
Recently we've seen reports coming from OUTSIDE Lucasfilm (namely from Hollywood director Damon Lindelof) saying that yet ANOTHER Star Wars movie project is in the works. Where have we heard this before?!
With one failure to launch after another in the recent years of Lucasfilm, nobody should believe outright that anything of substance is happening inside that studio apart from whatever overpriced mediocrity Disney Plus orders up for streaming canon fodder.
Disney CEO Robert Iger seems to have a sour place in his heart for Kathleen Kennedy as her reign over Lucasfilm has been the one real black eye Iger has suffered when it comes to the success of his multi-year, multi-studio buying spree. This includes Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar, and of course Fox. The rest have enjoyed unmitigated success even with a few failures in the last 2-3 years.
Star Wars should have been a crown jewel in the Disney tiara but reception to Disney's entries in the saga have been tepid to poor and merchandise sales now even of classic Star Wars and Mando / Grogu have been suffering for it.

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.

Eternals FAILS Marvel Studios - Clifford Nearly Beats - Theaters Fed Up?
Eternals on pace to FAIL to deliver profit for Marvel Studios & Marvel Entertainment yet again, just like Shang Chi And The Legend of The Ten Rings.
Will Bob Chapek start pulling back on Kevin Feige's reins in so far as production budgets afforded MCU films moving forward while other studios are making similar films for far less money?
Clifford The Big Red Dog nearly bumps off Eternals when you adjust for ACTUAL ticket sales.
The myth of pandemic fears for movie goers is quickly coming unraveled and now even DEADLINE magazine is starting to publically concur with what I have been saying for months here on Valliant Renegade.

Disney WalkOut FAILS | Media Scrambles To Spin | w/ Valliant Renegade and Kamran Pasha | I TOLD YOU SO! Disney Walk out
Valliant Renegade and Kamran Pasha discuss the week's events.
Bob Chapek and The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors could have just kept their mouths shut and all of this would have gone away over a relative short time and they wouldn't have jeopardized the integrity of the company.
After the last two weeks of unforced errors by the Walt Disney Company regarding Florida HB 1557 Parental Rights in Education Bill (referred to by some at the "Don't Say Gay" Bill), the movement behind it had all the paint fall off... or more specifically, it was revealed there never was any paint to begin with.
After a week of threats by the Disney Walk Out Group, only a barely measurable fraction of a percent actually participated in a brief stroll around the block on their lunch break in Burbank, CA and out of nearly 70,000 employees in Florida, only ONE could be found holding a sign on a street corner.
Meanwhile Pixar was allowed to restore a previously cut LGBTQ scene from the upcoming Disney Pixar film LIGHTYEAR based on BUZZ LIGHTYEAR from TOY STORY.
And now it seems that the largesse of Disney employees have become worried that they may have no place in this company going forward and some are fearful of a witch-hunt from these internal, Disney sanctioned radical groups.
(I apologize as it seems I was having some internet issues during the recording which affected my camera feed into StreamYard)

Game Developers REJECT Customers to Chase NON-EXISTENT Audience | Star Wars Outlaws | Sweet Baby Inc | Pokemon Go
Woke Game Devs and Consultant Groups (Sweet Baby Inc, Black Girl Gamers, etc...) are making in-roads to multi-billion dollar game development companies to fundamentally alter games to reflect their own personal proclivities and backgrounds. This is having negative impacts on revenues for games that may have otherwise survived or even thrived without DEI injected into them.
As more games are corrupted by Western Socialist politics, the profit margins will likely continue to shrink. Will these big companies with BILLIONS on line keep damaging their own brands with toxic consultant firms who may be lying about their value propositions outright in order get hired in the first place?
