>budget: 175 (FUCKING 175) million dollars
>box office: $8.6 million
>the media is totally silent about this
>this is celebrated as feminist success story
Is this the biggest box office flop in recent years? Or ever?
Just remember Toy Story 4 made 1 billion from a 200 million budget.
Who keeps sponsoring these obvious flops and from what? Disney is just throwing money out of the window?
Didn't they just shit it out onto Disney+? Didn't it just skip cinemas altogether? I just saw it a few days ago myself.
It went on Disney Plus at the same time, and every sane person chose to watch it at home.
Yeah, but then why putting so much money in it? No way it’ll ever make any money back from streaming ever. Who pays for making these knowingly? Its like a guaranteed loss?
Yeah it was mainly a Yidsney+ release with only a few theater locations actually screening the movie. The jews will simply lie and say it's the most viewed movie on the streaming platform or some bullshit like that.
Yeah, disney+ is bombing though
>period film
>bleeding money
Please leave Mei alone
>CARLOS!
Having losses helps to offset capital gains taxes. It’s a business strategy, not a “feminist success.”
Warren Buffet does the same thing, he owns companies that never make money so he pays less in taxes.
This film sucks and has a terrible message.
It was always going to be a means to drum up disney+ subscribers. If you think $175 mill is a lot for the mouse you are insane. If you think they were just going to eat that loss from the get go and didnt have some ulterior reason for putting it on their platform for free you are also insane.
>Its like a guaranteed loss?
Yeah. Not too many people realize this, but streaming companies like Disney+ and Netflix actually thrive on debt. it's how they function. Debt doesn't work the same for corporations like it does for a college graduate, or someone taking out a loan for a new house.

>In its most basic form, debt is the ability to get access to money you wouldn't otherwise have, invest it in something, and come out the other end with more than you would have been able to produce in a debt-free world. Done right, debt is a powerful tool. And taking on debt strategically, in the long run, is better for shareholders.
Hey, that kind of sounds like what they were doing in The Big Short before the housing market collapse. Probably a coincidence though. No way would people still be using unsustainable financial models after what happened in the past.

Except they did exactly that in like 2 years after the recession began
Genuine question, how the fuck do you calculate box office when this was never released in theaters and went directly to streaming?
>growing up is a beast
really? that's what they came up with?
I would've guessed this film cost $10 million to make.
It was released to a select few theatres and the box office numbers are indicative of those sales. Which means it's nearly impossible to quantify how much money this movie actually "made" since it went straight to streaming. It's impossible for consumers to know whether it was a flop or not.
FUCK YOU DISNEY RELEASE IT IN THEATERS YOU FUCKING JEWS
>posts in so many different threads
>137 subs
ouch
The problem is that as soon as inflation begins to spiral, and belts need tightening, people will give up netflix for free garbage on youtube. I'm bearish on netflix.
Yeah that isn't really relevant here. Taking out debt to fund growth isn't the same as losing a lot of money on a bad product.
That debt is the reason they can make this shit though. It's a gamble.
