However, I can't help thinking that if they had simply played the Little Mermaid straight, and made a halfway decent Indy, they'd probably be headed towards a lot more than $200m in liquid assets by years end.
If they hadn't screwed with Indy in the first place, it would have been in theaters months ago and they'd already have the cash.
Only thing I doubt about this report is "the executives won't get their bonuses". Somehow it seems the top leadership always gets their bonuses even when they screw the pooch.. Feel some sympathy for the lower tier workers and the vendors who rely on Disney business. They'll be the ones who suffer.
How about if they hadn't screwed fans with Star Wars and the Marvel Universe. The only way episode 7 made bank is because people were starved for new Star Wars content. The other two sequel trilogy films made money because people wanted to see the complete saga. If they followed George Lucas's plot points and made a set of half-decent films, then Disney wouldn't be bleeding money. They also had to go ahead and acquire FOX and create the money losing Disney Plus.
Don't know if this is true or not.
