Dump Term 2, Part 2: "A third term would be a big shattering."

I would think Park revenue would be separate accounting and not play much into it...but as noted they are getting hammered by the dropoff in travel. Probably feeling the same pinch Vegas is.

A million subs is no drop in the bucket...these apps rely on people never canceling. Once they do winning them back is hard. Like when fans give up season tickets it is twice as hard to get them to re-up. Throw in another app on top of that that had a mediocre launch and price hikes and you are looking at a cascade effect. It wont put Di$ney out of business but it will cause major shifts in what comes next.

Whats funny is the RW Media is playing this all up as a "business decision" pretending tbe Government had zero to with it...while Trump openly talks about how they did.

My wife works for Verizon, and we get the Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle for next to nothing with our cell phones (it may even be nothing). She got an email yesterday informing her that if she dropped the bundle, we would end up paying $24.99 a month to reactivate it. My son and I like having ESPN+ and both kids use Hulu quite a bit and Disney to a lesser extent. Even though we didn't agree with what ABC/Disney did, we kept the account to just maintain sanity in the household.

I saw today on Facebook that supposedly one of the sites to turn people in for "making fun" of Charlie was hacked. The hackers were able to get into the data base and pull the names and emails of everyone who submitted information.

I am not one to click links on Facebook unless I know where it is going, so I am not sure how reputable the report is, but I wouldn't bet against it. The way everything was thrown together so quickly, I am sure it was pretty amateurish and safeguards probably were not set up.

And they were definitely counting on that when they did their cost benefit analysis with Kimmel. Obviously whatever acceptable loss they were hoping for was far exceeded.

(I dont blame you btw...I guarantee most of my friends with kids did the same thing thankfully I dropped ESPN when I cut the cord)
 
Saw something about Disney shareholders starting to squawk a bit about the Kimmel thing. Not sure what they may be planning to do, but if anything gets the execs attention, it's angry shareholders.

I've got Hulu, and planning to dump it for Fubo as soon as I get through my backlog of unwatched episodes. Fubo has on demand, but also says they only keep new episodes for 72 hours, so not sure if I'd be able to catch up once on them.

And from what I know, Fubo offers ESPN also.

it all falls down to a single line on the P&L in the end.

Disney parks generate like $30 billion in revenue. A million subs is like $0.2 billion.
 
Lmao.

Tariff otaku is at it again

So far we’ve got kitchen cabinets, furniture, trucks and parts, and pharmaceuticals.

Got the same email from VZW as a subscriber who has the data plan that included lifetime (of the plan) free Disney bundle. And kept my service because I ain't letting VZW off the hook easy since they have been pushing me to a "new" unlimited data plan that eliminates that feature.


Also, its disgusting that the basic ad supported D+/Hulu/E+ combo is now almost $300/yr when it used to be like $99.
