In recent years, The Walt Disney Company (NYSEIS) has been the undisputed king of the U.S. box office. Disney has beaten No. 2 studio Warner Brothers -- now part of AT&T -- for three consecutive years, twice topping it by more than $1 billion. Last year, Disney brought in domestic box-office receipts of $3.1 billion, including $136 million from holdovers released in 2017, giving it 26% market share. Warner Brothers took second place with less than $2 billion.
Disney had to completely change their strategy to block buster films only because WB was beating their ass so badly.
Disney then went on a buying spree of acquisitions to cement that strategy.
I.E buying Lucasfilm, Marvel and Pixar. Oh yeah and hiring the former CEO of WB after WB idiotically let him go because they wanted to groom someone younger.
So what? WB has dc so obviously they have poor leadership. The last four years have been awesome. Warner just got absorbed it is so pathetic. Bob Iger capitalized. Disney is going to keep ass raping them at the box office.
Better plans for their app as well. Warner is in the past Disney is the present and future. Warner gets absorbed Disney does the absorbing.
Past. Present is Disney domination. It is like arguing the Celtics last titles when they are not shit today. Disney is the present and future. Disney has no rival.
Which is why I said it goes back and forth. Looking at the Market share for the past two decades, Disney only lead 4 times. 3 of them in the past 3 years. Warner lead a whopping 12 times, while Paramount and Universal did it only once. Disney is making up for lost times.
Disney arrogantly thinks that Disney+ will dominate streaming the same way it does the cinema.
The problem with that is that Disney is going against HBO max. HBO being the most competent part of WarnerMedia. Who just set a record with 137 Emmy nominations.
