Variety/Insider: On TURNING RED going Disney+, (Insider:) Pixar employees are losing the will to protest it at this point. notfabio Jan 10, 15:44

Variety's insiders claim it's actually because the Pixar brand is so strong it will move the subscriber/etc needle more than a WDA title. {nm} notfabio Jan 10, 15:46

Also, that even in the best case scenario that TURNING RED did ENCANTO #'s it would still lose a ton of money. {nm} notfabio Jan 10, 15:54

which is why *checks last earnings report* Plus subscriptions hit a wall at the end of 2021 {nm} fat bernie Jan 10, 16:28

TheWrap is doing a "free" virtual screening of CYRANO Thursday, January 13th, seems like you may not even need to be a guild member? notfabio Jan 10, 11:52

If I had to guess "Disney Premier" is not dead either. {nm} notfabio Jan 10, 11:20

So why doesn't Disney+ reveal actual viewership numbers like Netflix? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 10, 11:21

Disney has never liked sharing data, though they do allow month delayed reporting by Nielsen, Comcast/WB doesn't (usually). notfabio Jan 10, 11:26

i wouldn't take any of Netflix's "hours viewed" press releases at face value either {nm} fat bernie Jan 10, 11:39

You can kind of come to a rough idea at least by comparing Nielsen/Samba TV reporting and social media #'s for big titles notfabio Jan 10, 11:45
