I see the Hamas support as, more than anything, the current "trendy" cause among the far left in her age group. Personally, I don't view it as anything real or lasting. Rather, it's the perfect encapsulation of the world we currently live in, where certain terminally online morons can only view damn near every interaction in terms of the "oppressed" vs the "oppressor." They see innocent people being bombed, can't compute any geo-political situation more complex than that, and react in childish, uninformed fashion. To me, in that regard, it feels more like stupidity and a fad rather than any kind of legit "terrorist support" (which it definitely still is, don't get me wrong).

That said, I *do* see a lot of the left increasingly speaking out against people like her. In other words, I don't see the Hamas support ballooning. I could always be wrong, though.

As for the Disney question, I don't know what the answer is. I guess they could dock pay in some form or fashion contractually, for speaking out politically during Disney-paid press tours? Otherwise, I don't see how Disney could control their stars' social media or whatever else they say out outside of the Disney ecosystem.


Pretty good take on where the whole Hamas support comes from

It makes zero difference whether it was a Disney movie or not. Same general audience and the point still remains.
What in your estimation does Snow White need to make at the box office to break even given the reported production and marketing costs?

With a reported budget of $270M (which is insane), plus probably another $100M or so in marketing, I'd say around $375M? At this point, though, I'd be surprised if gets there theatrically (again, it depends on how well it holds, though it's not looking good), but with digital/VOD, cable licensing, etc, it could eventually. Again, it's almost assuredly avoided "bomb" status, but "disappointment" is all but guaranteed.

So Disney gets to keep 100% of the box office? I would think the theater owners would find that objectionable, since they typically keep 50%

You're right. Brain fart. Then, if we're only talking theatrically, $650M-ish, which obviously isn't happening at this point. But again, success/failure isn't calculated only in terms of theatrical gross, especially with a name brand movie like this that will license on cable for years, has all kinds of merchandising components, etc.

The "grown ass men complaining" POV is ridiculous.

"Snow White" is not a children's movie. It's family entertainment, which means that parents and children can and should watch it together. Walt worked hard to ensure his films worked on two levels, for children and adults.

At the same time, parents have every right to monitor what their children see -- and believe it or not, to have opinions about that content.

By the way, this is famed Disney Imagineer Eddie Sotto's take on "children's movie":

Studios keep a much higher percentage earlier on in the release. The longer a movie stays in theaters, the more the theater gets. That's why theaters make a lot of their money on concessions.

I am convinced that these large empty multiplex theatres are money laundering operations at this point. There is no way that they can make a profit.

I just never stop laughing at the stupid response to those posting on an Entertainment board, within an Aggie athletics forum, to "stop obsessing".

I'm assuming no one posting on this thread is a 4-12 year old girl. This is a forum to discuss Entertainment. Simply critiquing something, and then responding to those who respond to you, is not "obsessing". I will always comment on the woke Disney garbage because it's just ludicrous, and I take great joy in seeing it come crashing down.

Honestly, I really wish Disney would stop and just get back to making the great movies I grew up with in the 90's and most of Pixar's existence. I think entertainment is better when Disney is making great films. But by no means am I getting that worked up about any of this. It takes hardly any effort at all to log onto TexAgs and make a post mocking the woke DEI bull***** If they were to make a movie completely devoid of woke/DEI, I would be the first to applaud them.

Now... with this whole Netflix rebooting the Chronicles of Narnia series... I will definitely be raging if they **** that up.
THIS. Very well said. Trashing a woke actress or a watered down piece of crap film, does not make one "unhinged" or "obsessed".

Getting so offended by another grown man ctiticizing an actress or movie though...to the point of telling them they are bad fathers who need to log off and spend time with their 4 y/o daughter though? Pretty weird if you ask me.

I guess if that is what you think, then you can explain everything else he posts on here.
Roughly half of the signers of the Declaration of independence ranged from like 18-25. That being said, people are much less mature these days. I personally think the age of voting should be raised to 25, because most 23 yr olds are basically lost kids nowadays.
According to the National Archives, ZERO of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were 18-25. Which leads to the natural followup question of: How much of the other stuff you're claiming as fact is also total BS?

Signers of the Declaration of Independence




Sorry, I was mistaken...mistook it with "founders". Guys like James Monroe and Alexander Hamilton were 18 and 21, respectively, but did not sign. My point still stands that a lot of young men led the charge in founding this country....especially compared to how top-heavy our government is with old decrepit caree politician crooks.

Can you imagine millions of people eating our national bird for Thanksgiving each year? That would have been odd.

Thats why the terrible opening weekend numbers matter so much vs. the long-term box office. Generally, theaters keep roughly 50% when its all said and done. Roughly 60% internationally

You've made 40+ posts about a movie you DIDN'T see.

One that's not "woke" at all. It's just bad. Which you would know if you saw it. That's unhinged.

I have been very clear that my critiques, and really the purpose and essence of this thread, is NOT about the actual movie itself. But to say it's not a woke movie just because it doesn't have non-binary dwarves is kind of silly when the casting itself was woke (DEI hire). And the lead actress forced her way into becoming a super woke and hate filled vessel of wokeness who couldn't keep her mouth shut.

Her rant after Tump won was straight up vengeful and psychotic. Trashing half of the country for voting differently than you just shortly before the release of your hopeful Disney Blockbuster is a bold strategy lol...



But again...read the title of this thread. Want to start a thread about the actual content of the movie itself...go ahead.

If Brad Pitt came out as a neo-nazi shortly before his next blockbuster film, none of us on the right would sit here and wine about you criticizing the movie on those grounds and refusing to see it. And if a bunch of people had a problem with you not watching it before commenting, I would not think you were weird for defending or explaining yourself

We get it, you guys are really bothered by this.

LOL, I probably wouldn't hate the movie, and know I wouldn't hate TCTTS. But I vow to never give a dime because there is a certain type of liberal I simply cannot support under any circumstances. Hollywood is virtually all liberal, but I can't give $$$ to the ones that hate my sweet mother and grandmother and wish them the opposite of peace.

This girl is a rotten hate filled zealot. It would be much more interesting to livestream me bashing her and TCTTS white knighting for her because she is "just a kid" that doesn't know it's bad to support terrorists or openly express hatred for half the country just before her movie drops.

True, but I don't think she will ever have children. This girl is a walking red flag that screams, "stay very far away from me, and whatever you do, do not procreate with me". I feel for any man who attempts to have a fruitful relationship with her. I feel for any child who wants to be put first in their mother's life. This young woman just straight up worships herself and it's almost impossible to envision her being willing to offer the level of sacrifice it takes to raise a child.

This type of stuff is my passion. When entertainment and politics intertwine. I love seeing grown men getting worked up by it to be honest. "Hey man, you can only comment on the actual movie itself! Unless it's Sound of Freedom of course!". I love seeing big $$$ liberal investors in Hollywood lose their money because the untamed beast that they fed has hit them where it hurts. There's a lot to love about this if you're just an ordinary American who has had enough of the years of this paycho liberal woke sh**....that really took off when a pregnant woman robbing career felon overdosed on enough fentanyl to kill a small village during arrest and liberals advocated for destroying entire sections of their cities.

Like a trainwreck.

Right.

Most of which have been mocking the conversation itself.

Not pathetically ranting, raving, and raging about a kid's movie I haven't seen, as if the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

There's a difference.
