Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 27, 14:53
Chapek almost certainly left $100m+ on the table by not putting Hocus Pocus 2 in theaters during a month where it would have had no competition and 30 -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 14:08 18
- would pay serious PPV to watch Chapek tell James Cameron he's just putting Avatar 2 straight to Plus because "Disney is a digital company now, Jim" -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 16:12 1
  - The math is different on projects that aren't seasonally tied and can net hundreds of millions of dollars. - David Oct 27, 16:21
- Meanwhile, Disney+ nets him about $630 million a month. - David Oct 27, 14:10 14
  - it would still earn that whether HP2 premiered on 9/30 in theaters only or 10/30 on Disney+ -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 14:16 13
    - If Disney keeps 1 million new subscribers from US Hocus Pocus 2 signups for a year, it’s a profit wash. If they stay longer, Disney makes more. - The Allfather Oct 27, 14:47 11
      - Disney only added 4.5m new subs per month last quarter, and impossible to prove who is signing up to watch what. but not 25% just for a single title -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 14:58 5
        
        And yet those record streaming numbers… - The Allfather Oct 27, 15:06 4
        
        again, the same number of eyeballs would have watched for the same number of hours this weekend than watched it a month ago -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 15:08 3
        
        They miss the entire Halloween season that way. - David Oct 27, 16:08 2
        
        no they don't because it's in theaters earning money while also promoting whatever Hallowstreaming shit they're doing on Plus at the end of the month -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 16:10 1
        
        But they aren't getting the Halloween subscribers. - David Oct 27, 16:18
      - Your assuming that HP2 brought in a mil new subs (didn’t happen) -- (edited) - Will Hunting Oct 27, 14:53 4
        
        "and Hocus Pocus - without Sarah Jessica Parker." -- nm - Abbott Elementary Oct 27, 15:07 1
        
        That bit killed. -- nm - MDH Oct 27, 15:19
        
        Oh, it’s probably more than 1 million. I was lowballing. - The Allfather Oct 27, 15:05
        
        its pretty clear that streaming subs have come at the direct expense of home video sales. but that model also relied on exhibition to pre-sell the DVD -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 15:02
    - Yup. -- nm - MDH Oct 27, 14:28

TIL the drinking age in the US is tied to highway funding. So once more, drivers inconvenience others for their own benefit. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 13:15 13
- yeah, in Idaho the drinking age used to be 19, Reagan tied a 21 yo limit to matching federal highway funds and Idaho fought all the way to the Supreme - crash davis Oct 27, 13:26 11
  - I heard about this via someone commenting that Puerto Rico said no thanks. So it's 18 there. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 13:29 7
    - Reagan's reasoning was it would cut down on deaths of kids driving across state lines. I was at the University of Idaho at the time, Washington State - crash davis Oct 27, 13:33 6
      - There were deaths in Illinois (21) from kids crossing the line to Wisconsin (18). - .🎃 Oct 27, 17:15
      - teens in Ottawa definitely go across the river to Hull to get drunk. - mafic Oct 27, 16:51
      - They didn't drink there, just drove there to buy kegs -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 15:39 1
        
        I wish. But no, they came there to drink. We had Vandal bars and we had Cougar bars. -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 15:56
      - I went to uni near Niagara Falls. At the time you could drink at 19 in Ontario, 21 in NY state. BUT the bars closed at 1am in Ontario, and 3am in NY. -- (edited) - Andie Oct 27, 13:36 1
        
        the 1 am to 3 am traffic would especially seem to be an ideal test case for whether there was a problem or not -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 13:53
