Disney Has A 675 MILLION DOLLAR PROBLEM! Here's What's Happening A FULL BREAK DOWN

I agree. They keep catering to their starts instead of catering to the public. When did being a little person become offensive? When did having a man in your life become offensive?

If Disney want to recoup some of their losses, they need to stop right now. No marketing, no advertising. That’ll save them money right there. Losing money is one thing, losing MORE money is another.

[@yoopergamer2121]

[@MrMcMind]

yeah, sadly it's completly impossible. Especially in the american landcape. In the end it's a company that produces a product that consumers judge. No matter the content people will project onto and interpred it, according to their agenda. Disney as a company is directly impacted by political descisions, be it landownership in florida, be it taxes/subsidies, or immigration laws. So naturally those in charge will try to navigate and manipulate to their advantage/ damage reduction. It's money tthat keeps a company alive, it just so happens that making people enjoy themselves makes them give you more of their money for it. Also a huge amount of people in america don't even seem to have a general idea anymore of what "right the problems of the world" is. Now it's about who disrespects and lies the most and elect that product of their hate as their leader. It's not about solutions, it's not even about problems, but just "feelings". The drama around Rachel proves this perfectly.

[@tayloredthrift1367]

For Walt Disney fans who know how the history of this iconic film, this remake, like most of the others, is such a far cry from what Walt would ever do and when will the current people in charge figure it out?

Purposely avoiding this movie just to spite the actress and the modernization of the story. What a terrible person they chose to play the sweet and charming Snow White. Someone who has disdain for the original story. Then her character is written as this girl boss who actually bosses around the dwarves who graciously house her in their own home at great personal risk to themselves. Movies are too expensive to waste time with this.

Politics and personalities aside, I wouldn't touch this movie with a ten-foot pole. The trailer looked dark, the CGI looked awful, and the new details of the plot sound dreadful. One of the first clips I saw was the new Whistle While You Work video. In the clip Snow White assigns tasks to the seven hard-working men and sings while they clean the cottage. In the original, she worked alongside the animals in hopes that she would earn her keep. It was visually dreadful and the entitled imagery of a princess who puts the already hard-working residents to work was off-putting. On a positive note, Rachel has a great voice but it's not enough to draw me to the theater or even Disney+.

[@mommymaureen]

You can tell that those who wrote this remake didn't understand the original at all. You're right, she decided to clean and cook for them so that they would be grateful and allow her to live with them. It wasn't an "women's work" thing. She literally says, "Then maybe they'll let me stay."

I do not plan on watching this movie. I think movies should be made for entertainment, that's it, just entertaining.

Because of their choice to do this, they shouldn't be surprised by the reaction this movie is getting. They should rethink why they're in the entertainment business, if they no longer want to entertain. They've left their focus and their center.

They don't have any new ideas and they're rehashing old ones and destroying them. When it's a cartoon, there's no realism. You know it's a cartoon. And they start putting people in there.

Zegler is far from being the face of Disney no matter how bad Disney gets. Still holding on to hope that Disney gets their act together! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

And then Bob Iger is all like “No! No! What’s going on with my stocks? No, Kathleen Kennedy!”

[@memawh57]

The problem with anything Disney these days is no one trust anything they make because if you do not like it they call you names and say you are a bigot, whatever happened to just not liking something, plus Disney has outpriced almost everyone from enjoying anything Disney, There stuff in the stores comes from countries that pay kids to make the product at pennies a day for labor and then they sell in Disney stores for really nothing under 40.00 dollars. I grew up with Disney everything was Mickey Mouse, Disneyland etc grew up in Garden Grove so I am all about Disney, But Disney these days is very not Disney, Not the movies not the parks not the merch, it is so sad how and what Disney has become. I still Love Disney but do not love the management. Still keep renewing my key every year though.

I echo your sentiment. I’m from Brea.

[@philipstephens5960]

You’ve applied the 2.5 multiplier incorrectly. That does indicate how much box office is needed to break even, but it’s not the size of the budget. On average, the studio only gets around 50% of the box office-the other half goes to distributors and theaters. So the box office needs to be double the budget for Disney to break even. On top of that is the marketing costs, and that’s why the multiplier is 2.5x or 3x the production budget instead of 2x.

[@vicferrarisgarage]

NO I will not be watching this or any Disney movies anymore!

[@theseanwardshow]

Live-action remakes are to Bob Iger as direct-to-video sequels were to Michael Eisner.

[@briandavis6898]

Disney needs to scrap the project, cut their losses, and fire her and never work with her again. Ever.

[@davidbutton3500]

Disney has a big issue with "If its not broken, don't fix it." Instead they are taking things and breaking them on purpose.

[@kevynonvideo1643]

She definitely could have chosen her words more carefully when explaining that they were modernizing a 90 year old movie. She definitely has lacked the filter one needs when representing all audiences Disney properties. But to say that people didn’t object to her casting before that is ignoring something pretty significant I think. Lot of a certain type of person was waiting to pounce on any misstep she made, and unfortunately she provided them.

[@deee71194]

Yes ^^^ *certain* people were similarly ranting about boycotting the little mermaid when Halle was cast even though she was nothing but grateful and graceful in interviews

[@philipsamuelsen7904]

Chris, Keep up the great work. Let's hope that Disney can get back to storytelling and cut the ropes on all the social engineering. Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@jf27437]

Disney has lots of modern day problems like this and Snow White is going to prove the error of their ways. I'm glad you are expanding your horizon and looking into these things now Mr Provost. I enjoy your content. I love old school Disney stuff. But the company is going down the wrong path.

[@biblesforbreakfast]

Maybe make a new animated story instead of live-action remakes. Then this wouldn't be an issue :)

[@javiercortes5232]

First: great journalism Chris. You are a much better reporter than a lot of talking heads that one can see in news channels. Second: (as a Disney's big fan), it is a big opportunity to get rid of all producers, writers, directors, etc. that , being protected by their own wooke bubble, has produced really bad films such as Lighyear, Jungle Cruise, that one about an all inclusive group that nobody watched, etc. I am not planning to see "live" Snowwhite

[@marcg210]

The problem with your second point is, all the people that make those decisions are also in the bubble. Your first point is spot on, he did a great job sticking to the facts!

[@rawleigh729]

I’m not a big Disney person but I support Chris because how amazing a person he is, but I’m actually so surprised how many people that I know love Disney that refuse to watch this movie

[@rh5563]

Loving Disney doesn’t equal loving woke. Get it?

[@kotor610]

Was the channel name changed recently? I could have sworn it was provost park pass

[@davidh9638]

No.

[@kotor610]

​@@davidh9638it looks like it was about two months ago when he started calling it by the current name. Never noticed it till now

[@gitaprana1501]

A big no, I won't be watching this film. Disney should not have messed around w/ the original Snow White for so many reasons. I saw some of the trailer on another channel. Even w/o knowing the controversies surrounding the film, the trailer made me cringe...the human characters, the CGI characters...just no! Like many others, I think Disney should be creating new stories. They certainly have some of the best talent in the world working there. And, in the future, maybe they should be a little more careful about who they hire to play an iconic character. Disney should put this film 'in the vault', as it were, but I don't think they will if they have already announced March 21 as the premier.

[@laceytobie5958]

Our family will not be watching Disneys live action version of Snow White. As a parent & educator I feel it’s important to lead by example. Many of the people in Hollywood are sharing their political & personal views in a manner that’s been unnecessarily vicious towards others. Disney needs to get back to the days where the actors & actresses they hire & support set the standards for others. Disney patrons needs to remind them their words come with consequences & to think before they speak or share with the world. We need to focus on sending the right message to the children of today & future generations. I don’t have to agree with your views to appreciate your talents in the workplace but I will not support a message of hate regardless of which side of the aisle you sit on. Kindness costs nothing to give but is worth its weight in gold. Chris, to both you & your wife, thank you for leading by example for your viewers & others. 😊

[@sarahreesnes8540]

Provost! You are the essence of Disney, always positive and upbeat, not looking down on others, always focusing on the upside. Thank you for all you do , and Happy Thanksgiving! I will not be watching the new Snow White, I’m not a fan of any of the live action remakes❤

[@JRGantenbein]

Thank you for a very good post, Chris! Regarding the movie: I agree with those who have said that Disney should stop and cut its losses. Maybe they can use some of that money to have a "What Can We Learn From This" retreat with some psychologists and anthropologists who understand people. The company loves to use quotes from Walt Disney when it helps them make more money but they need to reexamine how he treated his stars and what he expected of them in public. He held them accountable but today's company seems to be afraid to do that.

[@CharmaineSkoubo]

As an avid Disney fan, we’re not watching Snow White. We watched the new little mermaid and were skeptical, but it was still okay. Don’t feel the same about Snow White.

[@justbarry587]

"Snow White" Its a fairy tale folks 🙅

[@willrontani5894]

The thing about this film is that it doesn’t need to be good and it can be controversial and it doesn’t matter if it gets much of an audience. It is 100% about “evergreening” the artistic visuals to keep Snow White out of Public Domain as the copyright expires in 2032. That is 8 years away! I don’t think it matters how much it is going to cost. But it does need to be released.

[@rh5563]

Bs, all bs.

[@willrontani5894]

@@rh5563 not sure what you think is BS.

[@Nightman221k]

I want to see a finished product even if it’s going to underperform. Not because I’m expecting anything fantastic but more cause it’s going to be interesting to see what all this chaos built up to. If it never comes out we’re just going to forever wonder and it’ll be lost media and I don’t like things being lost to time. People went in wanting to dislike Ziegler in the role just cause the ethnicity thing (personally I thought it was an overreaction, especially since the 2012 Blancanieves already had a Latina Snow White), then it went thermonuclear when she gave people reasons to be fiercely opposed to her specifically in the role (by bashing the original which is just a bad idea to put it mildly). THEN there was the Dinklage fiasco (sorry, dude, but the dwarves don’t live in a cave. If you’re going to bash the classic at least know your facts lol) and Disney changing the dwarves to a merry band of misfits or something to appease his outrage… Only to spent a ton to retool it with CGI dwarves? What a mess! That had to have cost Disney hundreds of millions. Also we’ve seen this all unfold before. WB’s Flash movie bombed, given much they sunk into it only for the lead actor Ezra Miller being a worse scandal generator than even Rachel (she never did anything criminal or violent like he did). Funny thing is, I actually really like Rachel Ziegler as Lucy Gray in the Hunger Games Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. She actually would have been a perfect casting choice for Esmeralda (Lucy Gray was basically if Esmeralda were in THG). It would’ve even made the activist talk she does at least track for the role. With Snow White we don’t expect this ambitious, headstrong queen in waiting… we expect a lighthearted and kind-spirited girl who makes friends with everyone and who is cheerful and caring. We don’t need to force her to be someone she’s not. It’s an over correction to imply that there was something wrong with her being focused on friendship and simple acts of kindness in the first place when there wasn’t. Also Lily Collin’s Snow White in Mirror Mirror already struck a great balance by being smart and capable while being cheerful and sweet. Disney’s new remake isn’t even reinventing the wheel in terms of giving Snow White a little bit of edge. If anything maybe it’ll discourage Disney from the remakes. I don’t hate the remakes. Most are okay (Cinderella’s the only one that’s on par with the original), but none of the live action remakes are particularly necessary since the original Disney versions are fantastic.

[@ashlynclark5222]

Might wait to see it if it goes to Disney+. Probably won’t see it in theaters though.
