Mathew Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If this is true then why the hell didn't TLJ get some massive re-shoots? That film desperately needed them. I kind of enjoy Doomcock's teardowns but I suspect this is BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 There’s a Reddit thread about this story and everyone in that thread is calling BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I think you all are missing one important point. Disney doesn’t keep any profit. They’ve been heavily in debt since at least 2014. https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/4-measures-indicate-walt-disney-141201321.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mountainous library of premier content they own make the future look bright, safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Their stock price when they bought Star Wars was ~$49 right now it's around $138. I don't have a clue whether or not they have made money on their investment, but it's hard to argue with results like that if you're a stockholder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Disney's new streaming service doesn't expect to make a profit for 4-5 years. But the amount of content they already have is mind-boggling. There is stuff I had no idea they owned the rights to. Where they are going to be challenged is to come up with new content to keep up with Netflix. Stuff like The Mandalorian. Hopefully, that won't bomb like the movies are. My wife and I are looking forward to the Loki series as well. If their streaming service takes off, Disney could move into a whole new realm (no pun intended) of media dominance. But right now I look at Disney and Star Wars like a car engine running but missing (running poorly) on one cylinder. You can drive such a car, but not to its fullest potential. It can even run OK for a time, but eventually you need to diagnose the missing cylinder otherwise it will cause bigger problems to the whole engine. That is where Disney needs to get SW figured out. Personally, I'd change the spark plug (Kennedy) and see if that fixes the problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
