For a show that once prided itself on emotional stakes, clear consequences, and a willingness to put its characters through the wringer, the Stranger Things ending lands with a dull thud. Not because it was quiet. Not because it was sentimental. But because it refused—again and again—to actually commit.
Disney construction may have destroyed the historic New York Fire Museum, which honors the history and legacy of the New York City Fire Department.
Construction of the flashy new Disney headquarters at 7 Hudson Square — officially titled The Robert A. Iger Building — allegedly caused nearly $6 million in structural damage to the neighboring New York City Fire Museum, forcing the institution to shut its doors for nearly a year.
Today’s twist features the ongoing saga involving Billy Mitchell, Donkey Kong, and YouTube drama surrounding the channel operated by Karl Jobst. An Australian court has just slapped Queensland-based gaming YouTuber Karl Jobst with a hefty fine—over AU$380,000 (that’s roughly $237,000 USD)—after he went a little too far with his accusations against the infamous arcade champion.
The following article features opinion analysis of The Walt Disney Company. It should be in no way used or construed as financial advice. Over the past decade, The Walt Disney Company's stock performance has presented a rather negative picture for long-term...
The Academy has officially announced that Conan O’Brien will return to host the Oscars next year. Following an overall well-received performance in 2025, O’Brien’s return suggests the industry might be aiming to reconnect with audiences by emphasizing entertainment over controversy.
James Cameron returned to the spotlight this week—albeit via video from New Zealand—with the unveiling of the first footage from Avatar: Fire and Ash at CinemaCon. Billed as a major December release, the third film in the franchise is already drawing praise from exhibitors impressed by the visuals and scale. Zoe Saldaña appeared in person to introduce the clip, hyping up two new Na’vi clans and a more emotional journey for Jake and Neytiri (yes, those are their names because you probably forgot).
But as flashy as this presentation was, it leaves behind a question that has haunted the Avatar franchise for over a decade: How can a series make billions of dollars and yet vanish from the cultural conversation the moment it leaves theaters?
Russell T. Davies and the BBC continue their crusade to dismantle everything that once made Doctor Who a beloved science-fantasy institution. The latest evidence? A fawning write-up in The Hollywood Reporter about new Doctor Who companion Varada Sethu, who will star...
The Walt Disney Company bought “Fox” in the now-considered-infamously-expensive deal that brought them a lot of IP, both used and ignored, but did NOT buy their real estate—the huge studio located just west of Beverly Hills that had been home to 20th Century Fox for decades. Now, with the lease they took on that lot expiring, Disney has announce no plan to renew the deal, which was costing them an estimated $50 million a year.
When a $250 million Disney tentpole gets embarrassed at the box office, it should be newsworthy. When that same movie is surrounded by controversy, audience rejection, and a spectacular second-weekend collapse, it should be the story. But if you’re Collider, apparently the Snow White box office is a cause for celebration—because Rachel Zegler just hit a new “career milestone.”
There’s out of touch, and then there’s William Earl’s latest Variety editorial about movie theaters.
In what can only be described as a tone-deaf fever dream of corporate desperation, Earl — and by extension, Variety — suggests that America’s struggling cinemas could be revived by letting people text during screenings and buy weed with their popcorn.
No, seriously. This is the plan now.
When Pro contacted me about being on The Pro Show this week (which as you read this you know I happily agreed to do), I innocently asked him “So what’s up?” and what I meant by that was “Hey, we KNOW the stockholder call was garbage, we KNOW Snow White is a goner, so is there any NEW outrageous dumbness from the Mouse coming up?”
But before we move on from here, I thought maybe, just maybe, you’d not be utterly surfeited (is that a word?) with the no-business-like-Snow-business story to join me on a little journey into the “What if?” universe and consider what could have been (and this is NOT yet another review of the awful film because I famously HATE reviews that tell you what the reviewer WOULD have made instead of dealing with what is there on the screen).
Walt Disney World's latest round of special discounts and promotions for Spring through Fall 2025 paints a clear picture: the House of Mouse is feeling pressure. Typically cautious with discounting strategies, Disney World’s announcement of a deeply discounted 3-Day,...
Ubisoft is hemorrhaging money. That much has been clear since the release of its catastrophic Q3 FY25 earnings report, which revealed a company in freefall. Net bookings plunged 51.8% year-over-year in Q3 alone. Digital bookings fell 33.8%. Player recurring investment—the bread and butter of live-service games—dropped 33.7%. And the company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio now sits at a nightmarish -21.1x, suggesting Ubisoft is losing money at a rate that makes its financial model unsustainable even before taxes, interest, or amortization are factored in.
So when Ubisoft suddenly announced this week that it had created a new gaming subsidiary—backed by a €1.16 billion ($1.25 billion) investment from Chinese tech giant Tencent—investors were understandably confused. Why would a company circling the drain be launching bold new ventures?
