Bad year for Disney.
Disney puts out 80% of movies now that they own 80% of studios
Dis year they feeling like ney
So these numbers don't add up, are they adding marketing to the costs column when calculating the losses?
The article has the full breakdown.
I was like 219-206=237?
Having these three figures presented as the summary invites that kind of equation. After all:
net income = revenue - expensesBut it looks like its a bit more complex, taking The Marvels as an example the $206.1m box office really converts to only $88m theatrical revenue for the studio. Then:
revenue = (theatrical + home entertainment + television and streaming) 218m = (88m + 40m + 90m) expenses = (production costs + prints and ads + residuals and other distribution expenses + interest and overhead + participation) 455m = (270m + 110m + 21m + 54m + 0m) net income = revenue - expenses -237m = 218m - 455m
The never ending debate, has superhero fatigue finally happened, or is it just shitty writing.

I thought The Flash was good
Out of the 5 movies on this list, The Flash was the one I enjoyed the most (I didn't see Dial of Destiny or Haunted Mansion).
I can't stand the Justice League movies or Bats v Supes, but somehow I enjoyed the Flash (for the most part).
Or maybe I was just drunk enough to like it. Idk
