Yikes. It looks like Flash is going to lose in the neighborhood of $200 million.
I thought it was a pretty good movie. One of the better DC ones.
Thor Love and Thunder and Antman 3 both lost 100+. Disney did some funny maneuvering with money but the share holders caught it and suing.
Indi 5 rough numbers that they are talking about is 300mil production and 150 ad. It needs to make 850 to 900 million to break even.
Disney last year lost 900 mill in the entertainment side, if it wasn't for the parks doing well last year it would have been really bad. But this year the parks aren't doing as well, lowest prices in years.
Disney hasn't made the money back from buying star wars. Trilogy did fine, but the other movies and shows havn't pulled their weight. D+ lost subs during Mando 3. Star Cruser cost almost a billion dollars and its closing, and the two parks cost over a billion each, and they aren't selling enough merch to cover.
Both companies have too many cooks in the kitchen, and hire less qualified people for jobs to get that ESG loans. Now its really biting them in the buts. They need to let creators create and do their thing with in reason, but its too micro managed and now even director and actors don't want to work for them. Part of the reason Fantastic Four is been delayed over and over, cause casting has been hard.
