Considering the fact that 2023 was the 100th anniversary of Disney and Warner Brothers (a big lucky deal), how they surprisingly failed during the box office, and how the strike made the writers and actors not promote their movies in the first place, which would’ve made them even more popular, I’d say this is pretty accurate!
