If The Mandalorian and Grogu finishes its worldwide run near $350 million, as projections now seem to point towards, the conversation around the film will move beyond whether it underperformed. It will become a comparison point for some of the most painful modern lows...
Disney CEO Bob Iger got a total pay package raise of 11.5% in 2025 to $45.8 million, a figure that has reignited debate over executive pay at a corporation struggling to find its footing amidst shifting media landscapes and operational turmoil. The briefing in...
For years, the assumption baked into Hollywood’s financial worldview was simple: scale wins. Theme parks, resorts, cruise ships, cable networks, broadcast television, and century-old intellectual property portfolios were supposed to be unbeatable advantages. Yet...
Disney’s unusual marketing strategy for Avengers: Doomsday seems to be paying off for Marvel in a big way. Marvel attached a character-focused teaser trailer to Avatar: Fire and Ash screenings over a four-week period. A few days after their theatrical debuts, the teasers were posted online. Insiders have told The Hollywood Reporter that the four teasers for next December’s entry in the MCU have already hit a combined 1.02 billion views across YouTube and social media.
In mid-January 2026, The Walt Disney Company deleted a post from an official social media account after the responses diverged sharply from what the company appeared to intend. Disney had asked its audience to share a quote from a Disney property that reflected how...

In the latest piece of marketing for Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel has begun streaming the Doomsday Clock. The YouTube video features the now-iconic Avengers A, backlit by something reminiscent of green stained glass — green, of course, being one of the primary colors of the film’s antagonist, Doctor Doom.

Call it an unintended consequence of Disney fandom. According to CNN, Chinese e-commerce platforms have seen increasing interest — and prices — for the highly venomous blue Indonesian pit viper following the release of Zootopia 2. Gary De’Snake, a new character voiced by Ke Huy Quan, has become a worldwide phenomenon. Apparently it’s not just Gary merch that Chinese fans want to bring home.
Marvel Studios has begun rolling out character-focused teasers for Avengers: Doomsday, a movie that absolutely must succeed at the box office after a string of uneven Marvel performances. One of the most recent trailers, now circulating after a theatrical leak, prominently features the Fantastic Four—or at least part of them. Notably absent from the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailer, however, is Pedro Pascal.
