Normal accounting: Not making a product is really bad for our bottom line!

That was my thought. It’s not savings.....it’s deferment. Unless they completely cancel the projects, they’re just deferring when those dollars will be spent. And likely, after the strike is over, they’ll be spending more money......

I saved $1000 by not paying my electric bill all last year! I’m looking forward to another year of free energy, without any long-term consequences or interruptions of

Really, by this logic they should just stop producing television and movies entirely.  Think of how much money they would save!

“We’re saving millions daily by killing the planet!”

“I’ve lost 50 pounds so far this year!  All it cost me was my legs.”

It’s the classic short-term corporate greed argument. “We’ve saved millions by laying off our R&D department!”

Oh, it still hurts. They just won’t admit it until they legally have to.

Just thinking about the movie critic Matt Zoller Seitz’s comparison of Zaslav to a surgeon who saws off a healthy limb and calls it a successful operation because the patient’s BMI has been greatly reduced.

They Co produced Barbie.   Q3 is probably gonna be ok.

Well, 5 years takes you Pre Covid, so yeah, a bunch. (It pt 2, Joker, Aquaman, Crazy Rich Asians, A star is born . . . the list goes on)

I mean, this basically just means they’re not producing films, right?

So they have $100 million they’re not spending making the thing they sell.

lol, well considering that they’ve released about 90 movies in the last 5 years, then, yeah, they must have released at least a few that didn’t lose $100 million. Otherwise, I don’t think they’d have survived an annual average loss of 1.8 billion dollars. :p

“So, great news - for Q2 we’re up $100 million because we haven’t had to pay anyone!”

Oh get out of here with this dumb take, we don’t have to reduce her misconduct to “look! Fat people who dare to exist as fat people are actually bad!”

This is literally the first I’ve heard of this. Source?

The only reason I switched from HBO Max to Max is because I didn’t have to. HBO Max is/was included with my AT&T cell phone service (which is paid for through my employer), so I didn’t have to do anything to keep Max. I’m guessing HBO is counting that as a successful “transfer”, even though I wouldn’t pay for Max if…

“I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.”

I think “these are just disgruntled former employees who are making things up about me” would be an easier sell for her PR team if there had not immediately been several other ex-employees who are not party to the lawsuit coming out of the woodwork to chime in “yeah working for Lizzo is a fucking nightmare.”

Considering it’s budget was 200 million, that means it will barely make it’s budget back. So not a bomb...not perhaps a flop...but definitely a disappointment. Especially for a mainstream Pixar film.
