Star Wars' George Lucas BACKS Disney CEO Bob Iger In Proxy Fight Against Nelson Peltz
Star Wars creator George Lucas announced that he will be voting his entire slate of Disney shares for Bob Iger's Walt Disney COmpany Board Of Directors.
“Creating magic is not for amateurs. When I sold Lucasfilm just over a decade ago, I was delighted to become a Disney shareholder because of my long-time admiration for its iconic brand and Bob Iger’s leadership. When Bob recently returned to the company during a difficult time, I was relieved. No one knows Disney better. I remain a significant shareholder because I have full faith and confidence in the power of Disney and Bob’s track record of driving long-term value. I have voted all of my shares for Disney’s 12 directors and urge other shareholders to do the same.”
Thor Love and Thunder CRASH | 2nd Weekend Box Office TANKS 68% | Thor Love and Thunder Crashes in second weekend
Thor Love and Thunder | Thor 4 | Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 | MCU Phase 4 | Marvel Phase 4 | Box Office | Thor Box Office | Thor Love and Thunder Box Office | Disney | Disney Marvel | Minion The Rise of Gru | Top Gun Maverick
Thor Love and Thunder continues the Marvel Studios Trends of MASSIVE second weekend box office crashes, falling an enormous 68% over the opening weekend, in exactly the same fashion as Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness.
Surely theaters are getting very frustrated as no doubt Disney will exercise their "get out of jail free" card and trigger a 45 day drop on Disney Plus, exactly as they have for the entirety of MCU Phase 4.
Thor Love and Thunder needs about $750M at the global box office to break even and recover its production and marketing budgets, but it doesn't look like this film will make it.

DUNE leaves half of its opening weekend box office on the table thanks to HBO MAX and it likely destined for a financial loss.
However, this was part of HBO Max and Warner Bros / Warner Media strategy for 2021 to bolster HBO MAX subscriber numbers.
Did Jason Killar and Warner Media / HBO MAX really make the right decision with the 2921 day-and-date release strategy? How much is this experiment really bolstering HBO MAX subscriber growth? We have to wait to few more months to find out unless ATT discloses early.
Also looking back at Halloween Kills and how it's doing.

Rey Skywalker Disney Star Wars Movie FLOP Could SAVE Star Wars franchise... Here's HOW. Driving Nails in Star Wars' Coffin |
The next Rey Palpatine (Skywalker) Star Wars movie from Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy set to be helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy was already on the ropes, and may now be officially Dead On Arrival after a string of comments she's made over the last several years resurfaces in light of her latest remarks saying it's time for a woman to lead Star Wars.
But this MIGHT be the BEST thing to happen to Star Wars in over 10 years since Disney bought Lucasfilm and Kathleen Kennedy as a disasterous FLOP could force new Disney CEO to make radical changes.

THE END? | Indiana Jones & Kathleen Kennedy EXIT Stage Left? | Featuring Kamran Pasha | Kathleen Kennedy's Alleged Retirement Deal | Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny | Harrison Ford | Disney Lucasfilm | Star Wars |
For almost the last 2 years, rumors have swirled that Kathleen "Kathy" Kennedy would be ushered out the door from Lucasfilm by Disney after a string of financial and managerial mismanagement of the world's most commercially valuable intellectual property.
Kennedy's only hallmark during her tenure at the Walt Disney Company since the 2012 Lucasfilm Ltd purchase has been one of massive production budget overruns and black holes of cash following The Force Awakens, which Bob Iger largely claims credit for. He essentially directed JJ Abrams to make a new version of 1977 Star Wars to re-launch the franchise under the Disney banner.
After the tremendous $2 Billion global box office, Iger was confident enough to relinquish the remainder of the trilogy to Kennedy and her team. What happened next became one of Iger's worst regrets during his reign over the House Of Mouse. The Last Jedi and Rian Johnson rended the Star Wars fan base to shreds. The box office collapsed compared to the first film and Solo A Star Wars Story was abusively punished five months later for the unmitigated temerity of what Kennedy and Johnson and the all-female Lucasfilm led writers conglomerate did Luke Skywalker and the most beloved family saga of all time.
Even as fans celebrated Rogue One, Disney was mired in a massive production financial fiasco. That same story played out for Solo and again for The Rise of Skywalker. It all led back to Kathleen Kennedy. She rightfully bore the brunt of fan ire for destroying Star Wars.
How could she be renewed? How could Kennedy not be fired for wasting hundreds of millions of Disney dollars in her mismanagement?
Even Bob Iger publicly slammed the brakes on Kennedy Star Wars following the humiliating rebuke of The Last Jedi and Solo. Since then, no Star Wars cinematic feature has been greenlit for production (apart from Episode 9 which already had). This was NOT what Disney had spent $4B to languish in.
Inexplicably, Kathy Kennedy was renewed in October of 2021. From a purely business perspective, this made ZERO sense. Something in her contract must have overridden any capacity for pragmatism. Perhaps... that was Indiana Jones 5.
Since then, rumors have festered about the nature of the final Indy film from channels like @OverlordDVD and the recent trailer release seems to visually confirm a great deal of what Doomcock has previously divulged.
Lucasfilm has since gone into panic mode and several sources have repeated the nearly identical refrain of fear and paranoia. Phone and email communications being monitored and scrutinized. Employee inquiries by senior management. If the rumors were all fake, then one might wonder "Why the Concern?"
Today, Kamran Pasha brings news from a source inside Lucasfilm, who alleges knowledge that Disney and Kennedy have reached some level of agreement over her retirement following the debut of Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny.

DISNEY SABOTAGE: Bob Chapek & Disney Executives REVEAL AWFUL TRUTH On Bob Iger's SINISTER EGO and PLOT to SINK his Disney successor.
CNBC has revealed the TRUTH about Bob Iger following two dozen interviews with current and former Disney executives including statements from Bob Chapek.
Disney CEO Bob Iger is a SNAKE (as we warned you). His ego and narcissism knows few equals in the world. The Walt Disney Company has ZERO CHANCE of regaining its former glory and power in the American zeitgeist so long as Bob Iger and his hand-picked puppet board retain power.
It seems Bob Iger doesn't believe anyone can run Disney but him, even if into the ground, which is exactly where Disney may be headed under Bob Iger's poor leadership. Disney is bring run by a man who values his ego and "legacy" above everything else, including Mickey Mouse.
