HOW DARE YOU! HOW ABSOLUTELY DARE YOU! Disney is my childhood.

Marvel.

Name 1 good movie of theirs from 2010 onward.

>20,000,000,000+ per year profit from their theme parks
I don't think they care...

They appeal to women and children. The cheif consumers in society.

>Marvel.
No I used to love Marvel then the Disney films started and all of them are trash. Its Disney raping the corpse of Marvel now.

Who enjoys their shit?

Zootopia

>They appeal to women and children. The chief consumers in society.
Explain to me how this demographic ignored the warcraft movie while eating up Disney shit movies?

Finding Dory, Monsters University

>How the fuck is Disney making money on movies?!!!!
First they make one, and then put it in theaters, and then people buy tickets to see it.

>Who enjoys their shit
a lot of fucking people
Infinity War made over 2 billion dollars. Even D-list heroes are solidly profitable just from sharing the universe. Marvel prints money.

True, however Zootopia was a extreme degeneracy propaganda made extremely good for degenerates.

Now explain the other movies who are extreme shit how is the MCU making money and Star Wars?
Explain this.
>I don't think they care...
Explain how "wreck it ralph 2" was not a commercial failure.

We are talking about their movie profits.

Warcraft was pretty shit, it’s a weird nerd thing to normies (not “cool” nerd like Marvel) and it managed to alienate the hardcore wow fanbase by changing so much shit that they were caught in the no man’s land of no audience.

Ralph Breaks the Internet had brand recognition coupled with meme references and positive rotten tomatoes scores that normies will defer to and not realize what a complete butchery it is

>Infinity War
Was like watching a symphony played from a trumped fueled by farts.

Arguably their best film in MCU however was I the only one who felt like being tortured while watching this movie?

>Ever heard of money laundering?
I was suspecting this only I did not want to come out with it so hard.

Want to explain how their operation really works? Where is the real money coming from and who is giving it to them?

>explain how it was not a commercial failure
>budget 175 mil
>doubled to ~350 for advertising (I saw a trailer for it before the Predator, wtf)
>box office of 520 mil, plus whatever shit they made on merch on stuff
>profit of approximately 170 mil

That’s chump change to Disney but half a billion dollars is hardly a commercial failure for a kids movie

>he doesn't know

Disney has no need to make money by making movies. They have other ways to make money. Like owning the rights of practically everything that is aimed for kids. All the stories, all the fairy tales, everything. Who gives a fuck who created them, Disney paid money and hoarded all of it. Every time someone mentions Cinderella, Mulan or whatever, Disney gets money.

>Ralph Breaks the Internet
Has to be one of the worst cinematic atrocities literally a Disney advert you have to pay to watch.

>Warcraft was pretty shit
Not going to argue there.
However warcraft did have:
A) a story
B) action involving this conflict

Try saying the same for "Ralph 2". Ralph 2 humiliates itself in being shameless corporate advertisement.

What zombie did walk out of this movie and was like
>Oh yea this was a great movie!

The only reason Disney was after Star Wars ever since Black Hole was purely to corner the little boys market like they did with the little girls market with princesses, etc., but they did this already by scooping up Marvel for blue light special prices to save them from their third bankruptcy.

This left SW open for tailoring it for girls, which explains Kathleen Kennedy.

When you own everything you're both the biggest winner and the biggest loser.

>We are talking about their movie profits
This is exactly what that don't care about. Like Sony, their films make chump change compared to other branches of the company so if doesn't matter to them if they turn a profit. It would be a nice bonus, sure, but they're not going to feel it if it doesn't.

I don’t think you read my post properly. I was comparing the two in response to your post.
I hated Ralph Breaks the Internet. Even without considering the adverts. The first Wreck-It Ralph is probably my favourite animated movie and I didn’t even want a sequel in the first place, the trailers came out and I decided I wouldn’t even see it. But then it got good reviews so I caved, and bought a ticket. I left the theatre with a desolate feeling like I had just watched a loved been violently raped. The story was an abomination.

All that being said I’m sure you can see why normies would eat that shit up, and look at the Warcraft movie and see it as weird thing based on that game no life virgins play.

OK I think you people are not getting it, or are shills who try to derail.
I'm not interested in the Disney corporation profits.

I'm only interested in how the Disney movies in them selves can generate profit.
You know its one thing if Disney sells these movies at a loss and they are simply adverts for their parks etc.

However here is the thing these movies make profits so....
Explain to me who likes these movies and why, what type of person are they and why they go to see these Disney movies?

Pic related another corporation burning money on movies to have free advertisement for their toys. Only this movie was good unlike practically all of the Disney crap.

EVER wonder where all the money of the people like el chappo is? This one guy has billions from drug and himan traficking, now imagine how many peoplelike him are there in the world. Money laundering in hollywood is as old as my grandmas kazar milkers

they often try to make movies that
-appeal to large amounts of people
-try to have appeal in various ways to people for a long amount of time
-can create revenue in a large variety of ways

>why does everyone else like something that I don't like reeeeeeee

media never will be or was meant to generate profit m80 the entire point of popular entertainment is just social programming

also, i forgot that for theatrical money, making movies that many kids will want to see in theaters and need a parent or sibling to take them to and buy tickets to watch with them is a pretty important part

>I hated Ralph Breaks the Internet
Same
>Wreck-It Ralph is probably my favourite animated movie
Same
>The story was an abomination
Agree.

I'm only starting to think how on this earth Ralph2 managed to make a profit while warcraft did not while being far superior to in every way.
Ralph2 IS exponentially worse then the emoji movie.

I know a lot of people get tricked like you did with Ralph2.
However are there people who watch Ralph2 and say
>Wow this was great..

Do these people exist?
I personal boycott anything Disney and simply pirate all their movies (if only me pirating made money disappear from their bank, a man can dream) and if its Disney I will simply not watch it legally. I wait 1 year and watch it for free in great resolution in the pirate places.

It has to be something people I know seriously recommend to me for me to give in and watch it.
I needed legendary amounts of smoothing to legally go to the cinema and watch infinity war.

And like I did say it was like listening tho a symphony played from someones farts.
The Disney style ruined everything.

>Money laundering
I mean I always suspected it.
However the question is how the operation actually looks.

Where is the dirty money coming from? Drugs? Slaves?
Who is depositing the money in the cinema?
Are there people employed to go and watch Disney movies over and over and over?
Or are the cinemas corrupt and simply will generate fake movie tickets?

I like to know this.
For example after someone explained to me how criminals use game consoles (Xbox, Play station) for money laundering I feel enlightened and I know consoles will never go away because of this.

You're asking some seriously retarded questions. "How do they make their money?" "who watches this shit" Is the bubble you live in that small? I don't know if you know this but there's these tiny versions of human beings called children, and they Love watching disney movies so they drag their parents to the movies, not only that but in our current lifetime there's an epidemic of man-children who never grew up mentally and watch these movies, and foreigners fucking love this shit especially Indians with marvel. Why do you think Pajeet is an insult in capeshit threads? Because a huge majority of indians love marvel. A bunch of people watch this shit that's how they make money. And btw Transformers movie doesn't hold up. Grow up.

>Do these people exist?
Yes they’re called normies. They’re the people that will see Pirates of the Caribbean 12. They’re the people that will see Ralph Breaks the Internet and ignore what a shitshow is because the scene with the cute Chibi character saying goodbye made them baww. They’re the people that clapped in the theatre when Captain America made his entrance in Infinity War. They’re the people that unironically give a shit about the Oscars. They’re the main target of studios because they’re the majority and thus have the most shekels and it’s just something you have to accept

WoW was actually being used by the mob for some time and prompted Blizzard to start monitoring at the behest of the government.

Also I'm pretty sure that's what selling locked safes on ebay is for.

>Every time someone mentions Cinderella, Mulan or whatever, Disney gets money.
OK this triggered me.
I will now educate you Cinderella, Mulan or whatever are in the public domain this means EVERYONE can use them legally.

And there is evidence of this like there are movies using these characters and they did not pay anything to Disney.

Franchises make so much money because of things outside theaters, toy and food deals, conventions and clothing branding etc. The movie is just what legitimizes all of that. I seriously doubt Hollywood aims much more than breaking even on big movies nowadays considering how expensive advertising ends up becoming and how dishonest they are on properly reporting on those costs.

If you like sleuthing research the sex cult the gildebrand family was working for, its fresh news so will be fresh sources, theyre well conected to hollywood and gives a glimpse snd scope at their operation

>tiny versions of human beings called children
Really? Why don't they stream shit or play fortnight? Are children really this hyped to go to the cinema?

I only wan't to understand their mental processes.
Why did they not go like this over warcraft?
And did they really not see the deep cinematic problems in Ralph2?

You are still not explaining the operation.
Where are they getting their money from? Slaves? Drugs?
And how the money enters in?

>Also I'm pretty sure
Let me explain this to you
1) Steal credit card numbers
2) use credit card to buy gift cards in Walmart or whatever.
3) Use gift card to buy Xbox
4) Sell Xbox on eBay for like 70% of its price.

If you are ever questioning why Xboxes are so cheep in the reselling market its because people are using it to launder their stolen credit card money.

Its not because a drug addict needed to pay his rent and sold his Xbox.
Or parents selling their kids Xboxes.

In contrast the PC parts market is to volatile with processor prices moving up and down.
consoles are easier 1 every 5 years, everyone wants it, stable price.

> locked safes
Not a lot of kids want to buy safes. Xboxes on the other hand.

Bad marketing, movie was mediocre, stiff competition from other movies, stigma of being based on the no life neckbeard game.

No. They saw CG Disney princesses and hella memes. Most of them probably didn’t see Ralph 1

Well yeah I know there's other better ways at laundering, guy.

They're the people who go to their theme parks over and over again also.

>No. They saw CG Disney princesses and hella memes. Most of them probably didn’t see Ralph 1
I wan't to understand these creatures.
Are they on the level of a cat? Attracted to shiny things?
What happens if you ask them to tell you what the movie was about?

All garbage... Wow.

As as that is it can be covered, what’s unforgivable is the complete butchering of the characters and the fact that it shit all over the first one, essentially ruining it.

>Do you have experience with these creatures?
Yes, most people I know are normies and I find their perspective fascinating. The other day I got in a riveting discussion with a coworker of mine about going to the movies alone. The normie perspective is “it’s weird because it’s weird” and no further thought on the subject is warranted

Marvel is making the most money for them. But that doesn't mean Disney doesn't have it's fair share of flops. Dumbo just flopped last week. I don't even know why they put it now if they were going to drop Endgame ticket sales because that killed any chance it had of making money

Finding Dory was dogshit

>The normie perspective is “it’s weird because it’s weird”
WEW they don't go to the movies alone?
Is this thing a walking self parody? Talk about a collectivist dumbed-down hive idiot.

>are all of them 10iq or something
Normies are NPCs in the truest sense. Not in the pol sense, but in the way they just have a preprogrammed mentality and go with the herd and are seemingly incapable of thinking critically about anything. They’ll watch a movie and their entire summation of it when it ends is which parts were badass, which parts were funny, and which parts made them laugh

>I didn’t see it so I can’t judge.
A admirable standpoint.
Only I recommend you watch it, I watched it simply because people where hating on it and I wanted to see why people hate it.

I recommend you do it in pirating places so no one gets to know what you watch and you are not supporting the producers in any way.

Its basically a story of phone emojis living like toys in toy story only more shit and there is some adventure one of them wants to go and the rest are insane injections of references to phones and emoji and the internet.

The main problem is that the main emoji are emotion emojis so they are restricted to one emotion (try making a movie around this) however the movie softly bends this. Its still problematic.

Back in my day we called them sheeple.

I think NPC cuts closer to the core of it than sheeple. Because these people act completely predictably even if they have no feedback from others on which to judge the validity of their thoughts. It’s like most people came with a predownloaded, paint-by-numbers personality and way of looking at the world. It transcends the “sheep” thing because it applies even “alternative” people like arthoes or metalheads or hipsters or anybody else that goes against the mainstream but still has a perfectly predictable personality

Thanks but my current living situation doesn’t allow for pirating and I’m nit risking it over the Emoji movie

>Thanks but my current living situation doesn’t allow for pirating

What the fuck are you talking about?

Disney is a major player in sex trafficking, specifically children. Movies are just a means of laundering.

I live in a basement suite with Internet included. The first day we moved in my roommate pirated 3 episodes of the Eric Andre show and we immediately got told by our landlords they got a letter from the ISP and we can’t do that shit again. I’m aware there are extraneous methods I can do so pirate things or torrent undetected but it’s not worth the risk/hassle for the emoji movie

I weep for today's youth.

I argue sheeple are different from hipsters. The sheeple is your collectivist obeys the heard idiot who can not think outside of the flock.

Hipsters are quite different.

>perfectly predictable personality
Let me tell you everyone is. Literally everyone is perfectly predictable. Only people with brain damage can not see it.

I know myself I'm perfectly predictable. After all I'm only a meat processor running sophisticated algorithms.

At least I can find gratification in the fact that my algorithm is self optimizing while others are running uther and complete crap.

Literally everyone is predictable you should be capable of predicting yourself with no problem.

Free will is a ridiculous lie since practically everyone(excluding retards and brain damage) can predict every other humans behavior.

This is the truth of this world and you can see it.
Combinatorics hard disproves creativity or the possibility of uniqueness.

The NPC meme is stupid however the code fragments perfectly describe how gigantic portions of the population think.
These code fragments are huge parts of what people actually are.

Some more lines of code and you have a full human personality. And you know its true.

It was always like this what do you think religion or culture is?
Do X.
X = good!
Y = Bad!

Simple programming.

We are nothing more then machines deterministic machines and there is nothing bad about it.
Me personally I reached my local maximum, I did feed a copy of my own data structure into my own algorithm and that was it.

Now my curiosity subroutine triggered a interest in these Disney film watching people so I will explore this subject since I have no new data to process and like I stated before I reached my own local maximum by feeding a copy of my own data structure into my own algorithm.

To arrive at new conclusions I need new data that will shake up my local maximum. Aquiering this new information will be quite entreating to calculate.

Of course they are actively hunting for streams of this!

Check if you can find a 100% clean and 100% episode of it on youtube.
If not the show is being hunt down.

This only builds character I never did have a virus from pirating. however I look down on people who don't format their PC once a year or have at least formatted it 15 times in their life(will cure all viruses or PC fuck up 100% of the time).

You can use a VM or learn how to switch cores(not to be confused with CPU cores) in your PC.
However ts impossible to get viruses from movie files its in the EXE files you need to look out for.

Have some links to help yourself in streaming(SAVE THIS ON YOUR HDD!):
watchcartoononline.io/
(you try to get this website in google search results normally without modifying your search query you fucken try!)

torrentz2.eu/
(for torrents)

Never did get a message for my ISP however I'm on ADS and my ISP doesn't really give a shit.

Here is a handy check list to see if the material you want to pirate is hot (you will be hunted down for this) or not.

Is the show on TV right now/is the movie in theaters right now?
YES = HOT!
No -> How long since the show ended, the more years the less hot for example something from the 1970s will be cold at this point.

How popular is the show?
More popular = more HOT!

And always feel free to do the YT test by searching for the exact(don't add the extra keywords to get the pirated version on YT, is this even working in 2019?) show name on YT. if your results are like for lexx in the year of 2019 its basically absolute zero cold.

Always remember to support piracy and steal things or you end up with shit like netflix or the cancer that is crunchyroll and the shit they did. It would bean better if you all pirated instead of going legal and seeing what crunchyroll did with your money.

Disneyland Paris is still a failure and had to be saved by the public money from France.

What is Synergy and Hollywood Accounting Alex?

Explain this to me.

Look Up Martha Stewart and Synergy.
>the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.
Basically, Disney makes a movie,
Disney sells marketing rights for toys, posters, and all sorts of other doodads and thingamabobs for the film to outside companies,
These companies can then sell these items to the general public, but the items also get purchased or at least sold to the public and Disney owned stores,
Disney then also owns theme parks which have attractions based on those movies,
Around those attractions are the stores that sell the licensed products,
Disney then also licenses the characters for things like waffles and body wash,
Disney also owns a number of TV networks were those movies later get licensed and played,
So even if a movie bombs, Disney has still made money of licensing the toys and merchandise,
And the movie can then still get sold to the Disney owned TV chanels as content, since the channels need content to fill air time,
And they can also build attractions based on the content for their parks, so the movies sct as advertising for their parks,
And if the movie bombs and winds up on one of their crappier channels, there’s the chance it will find a cult audience that will make it popular enough for a sequel or spinoff or at least more merchandise sales.
Also, most movie production companies have a certain number of bombs, if the companies produce enough content, the failed content gets balanced by the successful content.

See Why are a lot of Disney movies reported to have made profits while films like warcraft reported to have failed?
I'm interested in this.

Movies are expensive to make.
Money to make the movies come from all sorts of sources including “overseas”.
The money then gets used for the movie productions expenses, like payroll, marketing, renting equipment, etc.
Various ways the money is being laundered include,
Hiring criminal associates as staff on the movie production, for which they may recieve a better than average salary,
Renting equipment, or locations for the movie production, which can be owned by criminal associates, and the rental fees used as legitimate above board payments,
Paying criminal associates thru marketing companies they set up, etc.
The movies once made can then be sold, to other shell companies set up to assist in the money laundering.
In the USA, the movies might get sold to a distributor, who pays to print so many tens of thousands of DVDs, which the distributor “sells”, (instead really sending a large proportion to a shredder, while keeping some for actual sale)
This same thing can be done overseas, were distribution rights can be presold for a fixed payment, or sold based on box office numbers, which can be completely fabricated.
Law enforcement would have to try to investigate the overseas companies doing the distribution which would be much harder than in the USA, especially in third world countries.

Interesting thank you.
My only question is where do these “overseas" people get their money from?
it looks like Hollywood is only a middleman in this operation.

Nice info, is something like this also going on with trips to the cinema? And now of course I realize that the cinema owners must be on this.

>Hollywood Accounting
You are like little baby here come the big boys criminals you amateur.
This is what I understand under it.

Warcraft was made for the new nerd culture that is mainstream now.

Warcraft isn't niche, that shitty MMO changed it into the Sims.

Do you live in the USA?
if so, streaming is perfectly legal if you have decent enough internet.
Worst thing that can happen is that your internet privider throttles your internet for a few days.
Just reset your modem for a day and go back to streaming.

Yeah Disney is GOD in America but Europe doesn't care nearly as much.

>How the fuck is Disney making money on movies?!!!!
By making movies that appeal to the masses
>Like explain this to me who is making the most money for them?
What do you mean by "who" here?
>Who is their target audience?
Pretty much everybody

>inb4 huge rant on how that can't be true because you persnally don't like their movies
Nobody cares, you're not the only person in the world and your opinion doesn't mean shit. Their movies make money because people like them, end of story. Stop this stupid autistic rage.

>What do you mean by "who" here?
I'm asking about the demographic.
I mean for example the SW fanbase totally hates the Disney SW so who is watching these movies? What demographic?

I'm actually interested.
What demographic is making the most money for Disnay.

I already told you, everybody. There's not a specific focus for their movies, they aim at literally everybody, that's exactly how they make money..

>I already told you, everybody. There's not a specific focus for their movies, they aim at literally everybody, that's exactly how they make money..
I'm thinking about it, I mean if there is a large proportion of sheeple who watch brainlessly I'm starting to think why warcraft failed while Disney makes money with their garbage.

The same sheeple should love warcraft.
I was expecting a lot of theories for example one of the theories I was expecting was people to explain to me what center manipulates the sheeple.

Like there is some magazin or TV host or some shit who tells sheeple
>Watch this its good
And because warcraft did not get this promotion form this source it failed because the sheeple did not get the info to watch it.

Synergy is basically using multiple business ventures to support each other in a circular fashion, so even if one business venture usn’t really profitable, it works as marketing for the other business ventures.
Martha Stewart magazine for instance, was sold in stores, but was basically published as advertising for the Martha Stewart shows on PBS and elsewhere.
The Martha Stewart shows on PBS weren’t highly profitable because they were on PBS, but they could be used as advertising for the Martha Stewart cookbooks and other books.
The cookbooks would act as advertising for the show and magazine, but the show magazine and books also acted as advertising for the Martha Stewart brand, which was sold to outside companies like K Mart fir things like kitchen supplies, and sheets, as well as higher end brands.
Marth Stewart was just paid licensing fees for the licensed stuff, which mostly wound up as profit, but she was picky about what got licensed, so the quality helped support and advertise for the show magazine and cookbooks.
After the whole system was setup. The small amount of profit the items generated wound up being a decent amount of money.
Martha Stewart herself could also charge apoearance fees, and the appearances supported the above items.

Disney and all their divisions badically work like the above.
Hollywood accounting can be used to shift profits were necessary to avoid taxes, and to avoid paying too much in royalties to outside parties.
Disney has so much pull in the market, that complaining about being screwed out of profits can get you blackballed and earning less.

They barely do now. They own nearly everything these days though. They are a huge media conglomeration that owns ABC, ESPN, Marvel and Star Wars, 20th Century Fox, etc. and their theme parks and beyond.

They can brand all that and make money for decades.

>20,000,000,00
Try 4,500,000,000. You were close though, Mickey. But to be fair they're making more and more every year.

Yeah and when exactly was the wast white and not gay princess? HMM that is rather suspicious

>Synergy is basically
Yes however
WHY DO THE DISNEY MOVIES MAKE PROFIT! ON THESE MOVIES.
>Hollywood accounting can be used to shift profits were necessary to avoid taxes
On the official metrics these movies make profits so explain this.

I'm not asking you about EAs bigness strategy
Q: Why do they keep on buying their competitors ruin the brand and only loose money on their investments
A: Its to kill their competition they make all their profits in FIFA.

I'm asking you how exactly Disney makes money on themes movies if movies in the same caliber or better constantly fail.

All your answers are orthogonal to what I'm asking.

I’m not certain, but, Warcraft is from 2016, which was when Legendary Pictures was purchased by Wanda Group.
Wanda Group is a Chinese multinational corporation, but may be unfamiliar with the secrets of US accounting hijinks, and may see no need, since they’re a major Chinese corporation, and so would mainly be concerned with dealing with the Chinese government and not the US government.
It’s also possible Wanda is more concerned with making “western” movie productions that they can sell in Asia, so profits in the US are less of a concern.

Isn't there something to the tax credits movies get that can allow them to make a profit off a failure?

Depends on the US state or the country. Uwe Boll made a career doing that in Germany I believe.

Homosexuality is racism.
I'm not even making this up, welcome to clown world.

>“western” movie productions that they can sell in Asia, so profits in the US are less of a concern.
The financial loss was on the global profits and even if you look at Asia.

Organization in the USA or Europe runs illegal enterprise that generates craploads of cash.
Has to launder cash.
Smuggles cash overseas, maybe with movie production equipment, or other US goods.
Appropriate bribes get paid at the foreign port.
Money gets deposited in foreign Asian or whatever bank, by person that might be completely fake.
Completely fake person gets played by actor. Gies to Hollywood, hangs out at parties, gives gives money from foreign deposit to US production company to make film.
Film gets made, and then sold overseas to another fake company, also funded by money shipped overseas.
Foreign bank knows what is up, but takes their percentage for the transaction and keeps their mouth shut.
Actor playing fireign money has great time in Hollywood.
Since the actor is playing a fake character thay can disappear if anyone shows up to investigate.

Disney (especially MCU) films have likeable and relatable characters, which is a major reason for their success. They also seem to be able to tweak their movies based on test screenings better than other studios.

>Uwe Boll made a career doing that in Germany I believe.
Shoestring movies.
Minimal payments from the gov.

You going to show this for Disnay movies. Where is the gov paying Disney.

They're gonna dike-up Elsa, and Anna will most certainly get some residual dikening from that

I don’t know whether US cinemas would be involved in this nowadays outside of Adult movie theatres, most of which were connected to organized crime.
Foreign movie theatres probably are involved in money laundering in some instances.

>Disney (especially MCU)
Are like torture.
I rather watch static for 2h then a MCU.
>have likeable and relatable characters
Unlikable abortions of characters. Try describing one character without actually contradicting what is in the movie.

Its literally blue man punches red man and the next movie is blue man punches green man.

Only they manage to fuck this even up and make it unwatchable.

4U
They clearly know what appeals to mainstream audience, I don't know how you can even argue otherwise at this point.

I liked parts of Warcraft, it was in and out of the theater so fast i had to download it but later it was one of the few movies i bought new (for $7) in the last few years

Disney can make money on their movies when better movies fail, simply because of market share and their influence on other business interests.
Disney also gas been around long enough to know all the angles yhat can be played on a single property.
Disney is large enough and powerfull enough to force themselves onto more screens at movie theatres, for longer amounts of time.
If somebody gies to a theatre and the movie yhey want to see is sold out, there are more likely going to be tickets available for the Disney movie, so the person already at the theatre buys tickets fir the Disney film.
The Disney movies stay in theatres longer, so a person who doesn’t go to the theatre the first week, but who maybe wanted to see the film on the big screen, can still go see it three weeks later, meaning more tickets get sold for the Disney film, rather than a movie that gets pulled after two weeks.
Disney is so ubiquitous, that any movie release gets tons of press from everywhere, meaning more people will go see it than a movie that gets less press.
Critics give the movies better reviews, because Disney provides press junkets, to a nice Disney resort, and if critics give shit reviews, the critis no longer get invited.
Disney produces so many films, they can keep better technical people around, so the movies look good, but can still cost less, meaning Disney can spend more on marketing than other films.
If Disney is actually using films for money laundering, one of the rules is to always make a profit, so the IRS is less likely to investigate.

They changed from making childrens movies for kids into making childrens movies for grown ass men.

>How the fuck does Disney make money on movies.
They report that a movie costed them 700 million to make when it only costed 300 million, then they report the money not made back up as a profit lose, and get the return at the end of the quarter.

Literal "THE PRODUCERS" scheme.

China only allows so many major Western film releases on Chinese movie screens.
Wanda buying Legendary may be a play by a Chinese conglomerate to either bypass the restriction, or to steal back some of the “Western” film release space back, while still having the film release space be a “Westetn” film.
Legendary had just been purchased though, so maybe Wanda hadn’t gotten their beans in a row yet.

> Starts to make potentially interesting point about Disney's exploitation of nostalgia and their habitual releasing of mediocre movies
> immediately loses all credibility by talking about fucking warcraft

Several MCU movies have been considerably better than that trash and the MCU is invariably mediocre to shit
Warcraft deserved to be a flop

Blade Runner 2049 is probably a better example of what you're trying to say, though it still made back some money


But yeah basically Disney are great at marketing and generally know their target demographics
Teens for Marvel, Kids and nostalgic man-children for the live action remakes and for Star Wars
They make them just entertaining enough to appease people and get them to buy tickets
And the bigger it becomes the more of a passionate fan base it gets
Hence why the MCU has snowballed to a ridiculous degree

TL;DR: OP was too strong but still fuck the mouse

Becaue he's not actually here to ask for an explanation, he's just here to REEEE because he's right and everybody else is wrong.

I've been away from the anime scene for several years. Back then I used to watch HorribleSubs, who stole scripts from Crunchyroll to include over better encoded video. What happened to them?

And for the source of my argument.

theguardian.com/film/2014/oct/06/disneyland-paris-asks-billion-euro-emergency-rescue

"Theme park has debt burden and has lost money almost every year since gates opened in 1992."

I think that kind of entertainment corporation is trusted and useful to push political agendas and to keep the population busy with useless crap. Culture of beauty and success.

Disney is *obviously* buying their own tickets because it's *impossible* for other audiences to like the films you hate.

aahem merchendising, sell out your licences

>NPC
Non-player Character for those playing at home. Although, they do have to find a seemingly unique ways to say something about their experience on social media that is both unexpected yet safe. That wit probably takes up most of their spare time and is holding them back.

holy shit dude, pay for a seedbox or vpn/vps in another country there are thousands of providers to choose from, windows VPS even. Or freely start from web with a mega.nz account and get from forum.snahp.it

piracy is easily made secure and private.

because not everyones an incel autist like you

>How the fuck is Disney making money on movies?!
By controlling most ways of distribution by themselves. Including overseas cinema distribution in many countries thru a local subsidiary or at least partially owned joint corporation. Home video and streaming releases. TV-distribution first thru their own channels with eternal reruns, then licensing to other channels.

Cinematic release is just part of the all sales. Disney films usually retain their value longer before being put into bargain bin when compared with other DVD's and BR's.

No money being made. They also buy all of the tickets in burgerstan so they are actually on the brink of bankrupcy.

Tron Legacy

fascinating situation rap, I hadn't considered the movie goers guaranteed fallback movie as a primary strategy before but it must be a factor at play considering the quality degradation. I remember working in US and every other team would go to the movie religiously every week no matter sermon what was on, maximum pleb.

Most of Europe worships Donald Duck, it's just that France is one of the countries that isn't as obsessed. If they had built the park in Italy, it would have been a success much earlier.

The poor mouse is unable to compete with the beverages served at the Astérix themepark.

>literally own every major film and media franchise

HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY MAKING MONEY?

I see a lot of children when I go to see Disney movies, I guess they make the most money from families. Dads buying 2-4 tickets at a time

I think Tangled was alright

Children. Normies. Not manchildren like you.
