| The Marvels Not Only Had the M-She-U's Lowest Opening, But Now Sets a New Record For Biggest Fall From Weekend One to Weekend TwoThe Marvels debuted with a record -- worst opening for any M-She-U movie ever-- and now breaks another record, biggest second weekend drop, which is quite a trick considering how low the first weekend's takings were. In continuing to solidify its reputation as one of the biggest duds to ever hit the silver screen, The Marvels has followed-up its record-breaking opening weekend and first Monday box offices underperformances by posting the worst second weekend box audience drop-off in the history of not just the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but comic book movies as a whole.The non-hits just keep coming for Woke Disney. On Wednesday, they're releasing their big 100th-anniversary-celebration movie, Wish. Will Wish get Disney back on track? Well, the heroine is explicitly an activist trying to overcome the bad rule of a white male (of course) king. Because you know how activists are willing to spend money to "see themselves" on screen! Overall critical reviews are mixed-to-bad. Film Threat's Alan Ng says it's the worst Disney animation he's ever seen, and he's a longtime (former?) Disney animation fanboy. He even went to Disney animation fantasy camp, and yeah, that's actually a real ting. WDW_Pro looked at some numbers and has concluded that Disney placed five movies in the top box-office disasters of all time. He excluded movies released during covid from this analysis, as their failure was caused by the pandemic. In 2023, Disney managed to knock five flops out of the worst box office failures of all time. In their place are Strange World, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Little Mermaid, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and now The Marvels. Two of those films (Indy and Marvels) are the top two flops of all cinematic history -- and it isn't even close. And guess what, folks? Wish is coming out to lackluster reviews this Wednesday. If you're not yet clued into the terrible situation that Disney is facing, you'd better recognize it at this point. Wall Street, take notice. Content creation might not be the biggest sector of The Walt Disney Company, but it's the lifeblood that feeds all the other sources of revenue other than ESPN. Do you think kids are rushing to the theme parks to see Strange World characters? Think again. Do you think mommies and daddies are buying up Captain Marvel toys this holiday season? No. This is a company that can only live off of sequel assembly line quick fixes for so long. And if they can decimate properties like The Little Mermaid so badly, why should we believe in Frozen 17? Not only has Disney failed, but unfortunately the main stream press has failed in adequately foreseeing this, relaying this, and articulating this. But we here at That Park Place are just getting started.As Bob Iger's money-losing clutch on power is being threatened by investor Norman Peltz, he apparently has called out a major woke investor to help him fight Peltz off. An investment group called "ValueAct" is buying up Disney stock, and is reportedly "in a dialogue" with Disney's leftwing management. WDW_Pro thinks they've been invited in as a White Knight to save Iger (and continue punishing actual Disney shareholders). ValueAct Capital began buying Disney this summer during the Hollywood strikes and it is now one of the investor’s largest positions, the Activist Spotlight has learned. The activist has been in dialogue with Disney's management and is still growing their position, according to the Activist Spotlight. ValueAct believes that Disney's theme parks and consumer products businesses are alone worth low $80s per share.In further news of woke corporations: There was finally some accountability at Bud Light for their disastrous sales decline. Anheuser-Busch's chief US marketing officer steps down as sales continue to plunge in the wake of Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light fiasco: World's biggest brewer reports 13.5% slump in revenue in the third quarter CMO Benoit Garbe is stepping down after fallout from Bud Light's boycott The Anheuser Busch InBev marketing chief is leaving at the end of the year It comes as Bud Light parent company reported shocking third quarter returnsBud Light paid the UFC $100 million to advertise it, which did not result in people taking a second look at Bud Light, but instead caused people to wonder, "Do I have to boycott the UFC now?" It's not a boycott any longer, it's a bye-cott. No one wants your weird transgender drug any longer, Budweiser. Below, Disney shill and fake movie reviewer -- she reviews movies based on "representation" and can't ever stop talking about Muh Homosexuality in entertainment aimed largely at kids -- admits that the "M-She-U" is real, and really failing, hard.

Serving as the company's CMO for just over two years, his tenure was marred by an April marketing debacle where a Bud Light partnership with Mulvaney led to a boycott by the brand's customers and a significant loss in revenue.
++++ "Marketing debacle" is a hell of a way to describe turning the company into a flashpoint in a civilization-wide culture war, resulting in tremendous and likely unrecoverable loss of enterprise value and the destruction of one of history's biggest brands.

Britain’s statistics quango faces an official investigation over a faulty census question which appears to have drastically overestimated the number of trans people in the country.
A campaign group has written to a watchdog to demand it take regulatory action in order to secure public confidence in national statistics. They said action was required to ensure the faulty question is not replicated in future years. It comes after the 2021 census in England and Wales reported there were 262,000 trans people, equivalent to 0.5 per cent of the population. https://archive.li/qgd2J Posted by: andycanuck (krqg6) at November 20, 2023 04:41 PM (krqg6) 45
The left takes the long-built up and hard won reputation of ANYTHING they control: government agencies, medical profession, entertainment companies, sports leagues, (I'll stop but the list goes on) and then spends all that goodwill to advance their cause.
They don't care what happens after the reputation is gone. They got their short-term victory accomplished. They don't care Disney/Target/etc... is losing money. They don't care that the VAST majority of parents are avoiding the previously commonly accepted vaccinations. They don't care the media has zero trust. They don't care the FBI is now a curse word. THEY GOT THEIR WIN. That's all that matters to them. They will continue to be locusts and just move on to the next reputation to destroy.

Just look at Kathleen Kennedy: every movie has an obvious self-insert of her, usually in the form of Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

52 The Lego study gets cited a lot to explain woke Disney: Boys identify with the main character while girls want to turn the main character into themselves.
---- So boys want to *become* the main character while girls want the main character to become *them*? How does that make sense? I'd think girls would identify with the Princess who is swept off her feet by the brave and handsome Prince, but I suppose that's twentieth-century sexism... Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at November 20, 2023 04:42 PM (7fElN) Self-improvements vs already there. "If you don't deserve me at my worst..." is a girl thing.

Avoiding work, the search for handouts and freebies, petty quarrels with neighbors, making the rape, disordered sex, films, football, beer, and above all, gambling, fill up the horizon of most American "adults" minds. To keep them in control is not difficult, like 8 year olds.

Bud Light Marketing Fail -
Don't know much about 'marketing' but once beer with sum dude in that major. Takeaway - biggest market fails are when the business agressively trys to sell to its core consumers. Jeep pushing its 4x4s to outdoorsy types. Everybody already knows that. Push the updated comfort so soccer mom mini-van type wants one to get out of a snowbank. Some brand of fairly good scotch was objectively very good value but not selling well. Penny pinchers don't buy scotch, don't even look at the stuff. Doubled the price and the snobs started buying it because it must be good. Suberu marketing to dykes just bothers thosee who would otherwise consider one and don't ever want to think about that.... Maybe plug features that would remind people of the AMC Eagle (one of their best products but short lived). Bud Light? Everybody already knows that light beer is for those who are light in the loafers and do not want to be reminded of that when picking up a case of some beer for a weekend doing yardwork. But, I don't work in marjeting. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at November 20, 2023 04:54 PM (cOq4q) 91

Studio A24 puts out interesting movies for $50mm-ish and they usually make money, sometimes 3x or more.
But for DIS these are bunt singles that won't move its profit needle much. No toys to sell, etc. So DIS needs blockbusters. Even when they don't make money, the spending helps support its huge infrastructure including outside vendors. I suspect there's some skim in this to favored parties. Peltz settled his proxy fight last year with Iger's promise that he'd do better. Peltz can win this go round. I suspect that's the only explanation for why DIS stock is moving up a bit lately. He'll need big institutional investors to support him. Blackrock will need to make a big decision. Posted by: Ignoramus at November 20, 2023 05:00 PM (K6vwr) 125

109 The typical nfl “fan” doesn’t care who wins or loses. They care how their fantasy team does. That’s what it’s all about now.
Posted by: Montec at November 20, 2023 04:58 PM (bWsRe) THIS. It's why I stopped playing Rotisserie League Baseball after only two seasons in the 90s. I was rooting for a lot of pitchers to strike out my home team's hitters and for lots of hitters to homer off my home team's pitchers. Also rooted for most of my home team's pitchers and hitters, who were on rosters of other teams in the fantasy league, to svck. It took all the fun out of watching baseball for me.

I had a Subaru Forrester. Bought it used with low mileage and loved driving it. Handling was top notch, braking and acceleration were great. It was all wheel drive and I could go anywhere with it. Unfortunately, the boy spawn got big enough to wear that car as a roller skate. We had to get something bigger for a family car. Hubbymayhem drove the Subaru for work because outstanding gas mileage. unfortunately, the Subaru got wrecked. It rolled down a hill with Hubbymayhem and both of the spawn inside. Minor cuts and scrapes, no serious injuries. And once it was back in it's upright position, that damn thing started right up!. Great little car! Neither Hubbymayhem or I are lesbians.

Two suggestions for Disney.
1. The Pfizer / Moderna Protocol Sell your movies directly to the government and get paid in taxpayer dollars. Then the government can make your movies available "For Free!" I mean, it's not like the government can ever run out of taxpayer dollars, right? And with Blackrock and Vanguard on your Board of Directors, well ... I am certain they have Senators on speed dial. 2. America's Favorite Pastime! - Lawsuits! Simply sue the Patriarchy for every dime short of 1 billion dollars in revenue.

Those laughing at Miatas should know there’s a thriving racing industry built around them. Real men (and women) racing real racecars on real tracks. I raced a few. In the race industry, Miatas are held in high esteem. They are small, light, great handling, easy to modify and upgrade, and on the less expensive end of the industry.

I think a huge part of this story is how the studios are basically just laundering money. It does not take upwards of a third of a billion dollars to manufacture these slapdash crapfests. It takes about a tenth of that, tops, and the rest just sluices out to the legions of useless people who contribute nothing to the project except a convenient conduit for other people's money.
And aside from that, there is no possible way to make a profit off of a movie that costs $300 million just to put in the can, and another who knows how many million to distribute and promote. Even if their shit was still popular, and they drew in an impressive $1 billion with every turd they squeeze out, they only actually take in a fraction of that box-office take. About 50% domestically? Well less than that internationally? So $300M to make. $200M to distribute. Rake in $500M. They can not turn a profit even if it were good. They are completely setting themselves up for failure. But they don't care. Because all the people lined up all along the flume get their gulp or two of slop, and so they're happy, and shareholders be damned. The "stakeholders" are doing just fine.

I wonder how many mutual fund managers are being slipped a few bucks to keep Disney stock in client portfolios?

It takes a real man to put up with the crap you get for driving a Miata. Unless it has eyelashes. And you're a Swifty.

How is it different than Go Cart racing ? ( just rehashing my razzing of my Miata owning friend) 😀 Posted by: Drive by at November 20, 2023 05:19 PM (MNhXM) ——— It’s really not that different and that’s part of the appeal Posted by: Elric Blade at November 20, 2023 05:33 PM (d/S6j) 257
I don't get why Aliens can't just be normal and say "hi." They don't know that we're a bunch of galactic hillbillies who would shoot and skin them.

Usually it's hard to win a proxy fight at a large market cap company. But DIS is ripe to be an exception. It's trading at about half of where it was in 2021.

I'm looking for a Don Giovanniesque ending here where the poor performance of The Marvels pulls the entire MCU after it into the pit of Hell. Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at November 20, 2023 05:40 PM (xG4kz) 260

I'm not surprised that a MCU movie apparently ordered from Wish is hoping for a movie by the same name to save their finances. Good luck with that.

Overlord DVD is having a good laugh over at YouTube about The Marvels double faceplant: - 78% (or is it 87%?) second week drop - Iger seems to be experiencing The Fear of God: sputters when asked about Peltz, emergency meeting today about possible corporate takeover.

Don't look at the heroes in the Marvels, look at the villain. Stumpy. Thin arms. Pudgy face. Not the slightest bit scary or intimidating. She's not even blue like the other Kree.
Compare that to Lee Pace, Ronan the accuser. Big guy, scary make up. Angry. Posted by: Fire! Bad! at November 20, 2023 06:26 PM (mvURQ) 267
Disney Corp has lost the good will of the normal customers. The obsession to promote homosexual and hard-core feminist themes has ruined their reputation. It doesn't even matter if the product is decent. But I always thought that the obligation of a corporation is to make money for its shareholders. Disney has turned this on its head.

The elusive tech mogul, notorious for hiding out in exotic places
but being vocal on social media, has been arrested almost two dozen instances over the past few years. It seems the sky is falling and the massive guns are out. So whereas the headlines scream of yet more arrests and intensify perceptions of the criminality of those who delve in cryptocurrencies, it also contrasts with where we at the moment are: blockchain in fintech, growth of digital currencies by governments around the globe, cryptocurrencies as different belongings for investors. Notably, the usage of cryptocurrencies for scams isn’t a brand new practice in India, the place a scarcity of regulation for cryptocurrencies means a adequate gray area for nefarious actors to operate. Since 2017, Tether has been embroiled in controversies, starting from online thefts to lack of transparency and audits, owing to a number of considerations raised by regulatory authorities within the US. However, trying beyond crypto as a payment method, blockchain -and particularly sensible contracts- can ship trustless betting, eliminate intermediaries and convey full transparency to betting.
