    Neither does Disney lol

    Seems like a combination of a large number of TV projects, Solo not doing as well as they hoped, and the movie format seeming more like a gamble with the quality they have been putting out.

      “Why won’t anyone go to the movies anymore?”

      “I don’t know! We jacked up the ticket and concession prices so high that it costs $30-$50 to see a movie, the floors are always sticky, and assholes always talk and check their phones through the whole film. what’s not to love? and since we only greenlight films that cost $300M+ to make, we have to consider them automatic failures if they don’t make $1B at the box office opening weekend! (which we still declare a loss due to embezzling/“Hollywood accounting”)”

      “obviously! how else will I buy by 100th country estate? let’s jack up streaming subscription prices, crack down on piracy, monetize actor images with AI, and refuse to pay our writers a decent wage. what are they gonna do, strike? hahaha!”
