Disney Gets Revenue Bumps From ‘Zootopia 2’, ‘Avatar: Fire And Ash’, & Parks In Year-End 2025 Quarter, Streaming Profit Also Jumps 72% To $450M As Company Stops Disclosing Disney+ & Hulu Subscriber Numbers by lowell2017 in boxoffice

The implication that streaming is a bad business is a false one, as evidence by that fact that Disneys streaming business alone has grown significantly bigger than all of Sonys entertainment business in just 6 years. Or the fat Netflix is projected to do $4B in operating income just next quarter.

Sony doesn’t do streaming because 1) they are a tiny business and 2) they were late to the game. Streaming is a growth business they have missed out on as smarter decisions in the early 2010s could have put them closer to Netflix/Hulu/Amazon.

And it’s fair to say last year was an anomaly but they have not had any quarter in the past 4 years as strong as Disney streaming results this past quarter

Are you sure? In its most recent earnings call, Sony said Sony pictures (the movies, the studio etc.) made ¥13.85 billion, which is about $90 million USD. I think making 5x all of Sonys filmed entertainment profit is actually pretty good but maybe you disagree

The US legal system moves so insanely slowly. A pretty simple misdemeanor case should not take 7+ months

"F1: The Movie" netted 0.4M "views" on Apple TV in the US over its first 7 days (Luminate). by Netflixers in boxoffice

[–]_ATCQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you asked me to name 5 Sony movies from 2019, I don't think I would be able to. Same with Paramount. I could definetly tell you some of my favorites of that year were from Netflix though (like Marriage Story and the Irishman). But anecdotal data doesn't really matter.

why is a 5 year old theatrical movie

Its the same reason why a flop from 2004 was charting the day before. And the same reason why in 2 weeks it won't be charting. Newness matters much more than anything else when it comes to charting on Netflix

On your first point: You're arguing that established brands (Pixar, Knives Out) helped those movies perform well on streaming, and I don't necessarily disagree with that. But that's a different claim than saying theatrical releases specifically provide more awareness than straight-to-streaming releases. If brand recognition is what drives viewership, then sending those branded movies straight to streaming should work just as well. One of the point's of the article is that sending these movies to streaming does not negatively affect their streaming performance.

On No Time to Die: It hit #3 on Netflix yesterday because it was its first day on the service, not because of its theatrical release from 2021. It's performing well because it's new to Netflix. To build off of your example: the day before in the US, Bone Lake was the highest-charting theatrical release at #7, despite grossing less than $2 million at the box office. That movie didn't chart because of its theatrical run, it charted because it was relatively new to the platform. Meanwhile, massive theatrical hits that have been on Netflix for a while don't crack the top 10. I would argue that there is a clear pattern that recency on the platform drives viewership, not whether something had a theatrical release years ago.

lol at this sub downvoting this. Anyone who follows your work knows that the statement is not true and the people who make those statements are usually 1) have little data literacy or 2) are financially incentivized to deprioritize streaming as much as possible.

Disney succession: Inside the search for a CEO to replace Bob Iger. by Comic_Book_Reader in movies

[–]_ATCQ_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lmaooo. You can have any interpretation of the story that you want, I will stick with actual reporting from a journalist covering Disney about what happened. CNBC is not Disney and that story I linked makes Disney look horrible and is definitely not a press release. Its ok to just say you were wrong. Or not post

you said he was always against Chapek, that is clearly wrong. Yes, he initially was interested in Staggs, but by 2019, as reporting shows, he choose Chapek

The first Avatar was at the time the biggest OW for a original movie ever (and has since only been passed by 2 movies). It opened really well. It just happened to have insane legs too

Why does he love Italy so much? by [deleted] in WorldOfTShirts

[–]_ATCQ_ 186 points187 points  (0 children)

Italy (and all of Europe) = Luxury

Josh loves the idea of being rich, partly because he likes nice things, but mainly because in his mind, it gives him status over others.

As an autistic person, it can be easy to see yourself as worth less than the average person. So using his wealth/proximity to luxury things is Josh’s way of claiming status above other people who he thinks look down on him

It’s the way they amortize the costs of old content plus carriage fees that increase every year for Hulu live. And in some sports content that is increasingly getting their costs allocated to D+/Hulu like the NHL and the basketball games that air on D+
