It's official, Snow White is a massive bomb that will never repay the investment of $370M.

I just don't comprehend movie costs. $370M?? I get marketing, actors, crew, food, etc. but that just seems stupid. Should be a $50M proposition worst case. Besides the actors, most the crew is salaried by the company they work for. Those costs are generally set.

Sounds like a poorly run movie based on that number. Or they're greasing the wheels of buddies on the back of shareholders. I don't really care about the wokeness aspect as that will eventually go away. A vocal minority has a limited time and it's running out. I think they know it.

I think on this movie they did a lot of rewrites and stuff, dragging out the timeline and costs. Just one factor though.

More important than the monetary loss, this is a fatal indictment of Disney: complete creative and moral bankruptcy. The story that catapulted Disney to fame and fortune has now, in its woke reimagining, become the company's biggest failure.



Legendary woke failures deserve legendary memes.

Idiots.

They just need to fire the woke fucks that make them.

This is probably why Walt rotoscoped the original Snow White actress back in the 1930's - so he didn't have to deal with her bullshit post-production.

They still don't ficking learn.

Yes, this is real, not parody. Film to be released in November. And Disney owns it.

They released Prey[2022] and it was anti-white male woke as fuck, too.

Yeah, 20th Century Films is owned by Disney. And the movie Prey was not released in theaters on a $65 million budget, so consider it at least a $50 million loss (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey(2022_film)#Release).

And Disney stock price is at October 2014 levels, like the 1995 to 2009 price slump (where it was $17 a share in both years).

Disney is just a barely profitable employer for the creative LGBQT population and Woke types..

20th Century Films is releasing this movie on Hulu and Disney+ this June : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator:_Killer_of_Killers

Then yes, they release the Predator Badlands this November: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator:_Badlands

Lilo and Stitch (2025) has a budget of $100 million and has made around $350 million worldwide after one week of being released.

It may result in at least a $400 million profit by the time it goes to Disney+ streaming service. I remember about 25 years ago how Disney movies would go to DVD and there was a lot of money to be made then for Disney.

Disney needs at least 3 winners like Lilo and Stitch per year to return to strong profitability.

Wait till they re-do Pocahontas and offend everybody.

I see Bob Iger now as Disney's CEO browbeating enough of Disney Studio's and even making subtle threats that he'll go to the media and claim antisemitism if they sabotage him because he is Jewish.

Iger is righting the ship. So expect less and less Woke agenda and more harmless family fun from Disney's like Lilo and Stitch.

I saw it. While I prefer the original, there was nothing wrong with it. No woke shit in it at all.

What they can't write anything new? Or anyone. It's not just a Disney problem. It's music and movies in a big way. Creativity is dead. If I put my work on this site I'd dox myself immediately. I think some of you guys would like it if you're into a rock/alternative sound musically. Not bragging. We were good, but music is an industry where you have to know what dick to lick unfortunately. Obvious with Hollywood and Harvey Jew.

What are you saying? You licked the wrong dicks? Is this why guitarists call their music passages "licks?"

Rich Kid politics, dynastic politics, and Mockingbird ennui recycling. Old concepts re-treaded with 'new' faces, but they aren't really new. The dynastic Intel spawns are also genetic retreads, stuffed with spoiled exclusive living and privilege (or sometimes Satanic Ritual Abuse to make them DPD officers). The 'glass ceilings' are bloodline ceilings. Don't expect originality when it is all Satanic status groupie shit. I can believe they are using clones.

So, the technology of movies is moving forward leaps and bounds to replace everything with CGI cartoons. After that, AI will determine the menus of repetitive pap and pablum to be recycled with dazzling special effects.

At the gym watching daytime tv, so much is recycled with dead celebrities it's ridiculous, like the producers themselves are phased out with fluoride and just rustle up shit from the archives.

The Great Frontal Lobotomy and Decortication Project means no original or 'dangerous' material, just fools acting foolish, manic and euphoric in 20 to 50 million dollar environments, or wearing costumes as if their lives are an endless costume ball. They are deputizing stupidity for the IQ lowering projects for malleable populations.

Lol. I was talking about producers, managers and agents. They're no different than attorneys. They want a retainer up front. We thought we could do it without them.

I had kids, no on else did, so I moved on since it didn't seem like it was going anywhere. My wife also hated it. 2-3am nights, 3-4 days a week practicing. It stopped becoming fun, especially being the drummer. The other guys could set up in 10 minutes with two loads. I was a half hour and carrying 5-7 loads from the car. They'd be outside where we loaded just smoking and having a great time while I was still working. So I was done.

Still play occasionally, but it burned me out while I had a full time job at the same time.

Same here - keyboards. Even more bulky and heavier. I keep getting heat about how my 2-board rig is too big. Fuck them.

Another example of Da Joos owning the world!

I forgot what she even got fired for. Here it is:

In February 2021, Carano shared an Instagram post that compared "hating someone for their political views" to the persecution of Jews by their fellow citizens during the Holocaust... Shortly afterward, Lucasfilm stated that Carano was no longer employed by the company, saying that "her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable". A series of posts in which she mocked the use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States was also cited by Lucasfilm, as well as her repeated accusations of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

I think her points were all valid, and must be defended not only as true, but as an exercise of free speech.

https://ground.news/article/morgan-and-morgan-sues-disney-to-use-steamboat-willie-in-law-firm-ads

Morgan & Morgan, Florida's largest law firm, sued Disney on September 17, 2025, seeking court approval to use Steamboat Willie in its ads.
The lawsuit followed Disney's refusal to clarify if it would sue Morgan & Morgan for trademark infringement despite Steamboat Willie's copyright expiring on January 1, 2024.
The firm's proposed black-and-white commercial depicts Mickey steering a boat while on dry ground, which results in a collision with Minnie's car, leading her to call Morgan & Morgan for legal assistance.
John Morgan condemned Disney's ambiguous stance, arguing that it is unreasonable for the company to claim ownership of the copyright and stating his willingness to pursue the case up to the Supreme Court if needed.
The case aims to confirm that Morgan & Morgan's ad use of Steamboat Willie does not infringe Disney's rights, potentially setting precedent for public domain character usage.

Shortly after Kimmel’s suspension was announced, Disney stock dipped about 3.5%. It continued to trade lower in subsequent days. The loss in market value has amounted to about $4bn.
