Moana 2 Trailer Is a $100M Gambit

"Moana" was released in the United States on November 23, 2016, and it quickly sailed to success, earning $56.6 million over its opening weekend. This strong start set the pace for its ongoing performance, which remained robust due to positive reviews and word-of-mouth. The film grossed over $248 million domestically and approximately $643 milli...

Just How Bad WAS this Memorial Day Weekend Box Office?

The past few days were absolutely horrific for theater owners. Although the mainstream media is calling the weekend the worst in the last three decades, the reality is that the audience levels have crashed in a way we haven't seen before.

Memorial Day weekend, traditionally a significant marker in the cinematic calendar, has often heralded...

Disco Yeti

Some have asked if I would share the music for Disco Yeti, the song I wrote and collaborated on that is regarding a certain creature in Florida that has sat still for a decade. We played this during the 70K Subscriber Celebration, so here it is for all of you to enjoy in its entirety. I hope you like the lyrics -- they were a ton of fun to write...

Disney World Investments: Then Versus Now

Yesterday, Disney released a PR statement that I found interesting for a number of reasons. Not least of those is that the company seems dead-set on highlighting changes they're making to fix "the message". I thought it would -- therefore -- be interesting to compare that to how Disney World investments played out before this most modern era. Wh...

Someone Has Figured Out the Bots on X

I just want you to know before anyone else that someone has cracked the code on what is going on with the bots manipulating X / Twitter in favor of the entertainment companies. It's a huge story and I hope we're allowed to cover it in the days ahead. I am scheduled for a meeting tomorrow with a source on the matter.

In the digital age, soc...

70K Subscribers and a New HUGE Project

Good morning everyone,

First, I'd like to say a huge "thank you" to all of you who are the grandest of supporters. We broke 70K subscribers yesterday in what was easily the most difficult last 10K we've ever had. That's probably because we were covering the Disney stock stuff and YouTube wasn't too keen on Nelson Peltz. That's just a guess...

Disney World Costs Through the Decades

For many families, a trip to Walt Disney World is a dream vacation filled with magic, adventure, and unforgettable memories. However, as the years have gone by, the cost of experiencing this magic has steadily increased. When Bob Iger says that they're unable to continue double-digit growth for Park revenue percentage increases... it's likely be...

Thoughts on Disney's Situation with Linear / Streaming After Iger's Conversation

Disney stock dropped yesterday... again. And while I have talked about the Disney World side of why that might have happened, the broadcast and streaming portion is perhaps the second point of concern for investors wary of Bob Iger.

Legacy media giants are facing significant challenges with linear networks, as a weak advertising market c...

More AI-Assisted Art

One of the things that we're working on behind the scenes is an effort to get AI to do far more than it's designed. That's not just because we want to create art and then work on it (which we do through a number of techniques), but also because when text-to-video comes out we plan to launch a new channel where we will be making movie-level conte...

Disney Prepares to Be Defeated by Tubi

Imagine you're Bob Iger and you've sunk $100 billion into Disney Plus. You basically bought the entire Fox catalog, you are buying out Hulu... and yet still, you're about to be defeated. And not only are you getting defeated, but it's to the old man who sold you the entire Fox catalog for a massive amount on top of it all. You see, he (Rupert Mu...

Disney Prepares to Dramatically Alter The Polynesian

For decades, perhaps no other resort has epitomized Disney World like The Polynesian. But with the addition of the DVC wing in the coming seasons, all of that is about to change. And trust me, it isn't for the better.

The Polynesian Village Resort is one of Walt Disney World's most beloved destinations, offering guests a unique and immersi...

Exclusive Details: What's Replacing Dinoland USA at Animal Kingdom

When Disney announced changes for Dinoland USA were on the way, many guests and pundits thought it would surely take a long time considering the slow pace of Disney construction in the past. Who can forget the many years of Tron to the point the ride had mold and mildew on its canopy before opening? And one would be forgiven for such pessimism g...
