   So apparently taking a >$50million loss is succeeding in the box office in 🤡

     @parker @icedquinn @NEETzsche racial stuff aside, who wants to buy 'ariel but it looks kinda weird'

     @icedquinn @NEETzsche I doubt this is going to sell much merch though. The Walmart in my town has all the Ariel toys tucked in the back near the tires and wiper fluid.

     well. ghost in the shell (199x) failed in the box office despite being good. they kept dealing with it because it recovered in merch sales and spinoffs iirc.

     @NEETzsche traditionally a Disney movie that doesn't double its cost isn't considered successful.
     
     Also, apparently 250mil doesn't include marketing, which is often 50-100% of production cost.

     @lain @icedquinn @NEETzsche @parker I see this and think "merchandising" and not "$5 toy from a farming store"

     @mrsaturday @icedquinn @NEETzsche @parker i saw the trailer in the theater, it just looks really weird, as if somebody put in 'ariel but she's brown and everything looks realistic' into midjourney. I'm sure it's a fun movie still but absolutely not something that i see kids buying toys for

     Lucky for us they’re running out of money and funding. They even got another downgrade as some suggested it as a sell going into the new 52-week low. Oh, and the investor and state lawsuits plus closing billion dollar attractions due to no takers don’t help with that.

     I’ve said for a while they’re going to end up being an IP buy for someone down the line and gut the rest – getting closer with all these movies losing money back to back to back…

     @Moon @NEETzsche as long as it pushes its message to enough people, it can lose its entire production+advertising budget for all Current Year Disney cares.

     @thendrix @NEETzsche @Moon Disney dying is a far stretch, but I would love to see it. they exist only as a vehicle for poz.

     I didn’t say they’d die - just get chopped up.

     @thendrix @NEETzsche @Moon still would be pretty rad. if President Trump wasn't a pussy, he would have trust-busted Disney and specifically placed Mickey Mouse in the public domain.
