If Disney investors were happy, they wouldn't be swapping out CEOs.



If that was true, Disney's woke movies would be making them bank. Maybe you're in the minority?
You obvious have political leanings and you want to bring it into this into this topic. what I'm simply telling you, is you might not like what is on the menu as far as films, but the film industry like any other industry delivers what the majority demands. Which means you are in the minority.

People have not clue what “woke” really means. They show their ignorance when they use it in a broad term.

Believe that all you want, but it's not reality.

The numbers are in, and it's official, the live-action "Snow White" remake, released back in March of this year, is "officially a flop," according to IMDB.com.

The 2025 remake of the 1937 Disney classic earned a total of just over $205 million during its three-month run in theaters, a paltry sum compared to the $410 million total cost to produce and market the movie.

The prevailing wisdom is that a film needs to double its production costs to turn a profit, and if that's the case, "Snow White" is deep in the red.

With these box-office earnings, "Snow White" now has the dubious honor of being the worst-performing wide-release live-action Disney remake in almost a decade.

I do watch a lot of movies but very few hold my attention especially when streaming. The biggest problem is too many have an agenda beyond entertainment, they're trying to enlighten us and
it seems those are the Oscar winners. The last worthy winner was 2010 "The Kings Speech" everything since has been virtue signaling.

A nice intro to why Woke has ruined Hollywood, but far from inclusive.
