For a company with $50 billion in annual revenue, it's not a lot of impact on the bottom line. Toy sales and amusement park factors can move the dial a lot, though. And part of the reason I have been thinking about this is because Disney finally acknowledged their intentions for Star Wars rides today.

FYI, from their earnings report, Media Networks and Parks and Resorts accounted for about 81% of profit for the quarter. - Inigo Aug 6, 11:36 2
- Interesting. I take it that it's because of inventory levels that need to be kept. -- nm - zork Aug 6, 11:40 1
  - Not sure. Maybe they just don't make as much off each doll/figurine as we think? - Inigo Aug 6, 11:45
You guys keep switching back and forth between revenue and profit. And I already mentioned that the factors you refer to will get a boost. -- nm - zork Aug 6, 11:26
