Only a few years ago, Hollywood deemed Disney to be an unstoppable juggernaut, armed with the likes of Star Wars, Marvel, Avatar and more … but now, Fire and Ash is underperforming, Avengers Doomsday trailer aren’t getting any reaction, and Star Wars is already written off.

I think Disney's movie troubles began with the death of Roy E. Disney and when Roy E. Disney was alive Disney movies were hits and they made a lot of money but as soon as Roy E. Disney died it caused Disney a lot of hurting and soon movies began flopping big time. But since Frozen was released in 2013 it still ranks as the highest grossing Disney movie since Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs in 1937. But with Zootopia 2 a huge hit it is the movie that has brought Disney out of their shell because Disney needed a hit badly after Wish failed and Zootopia 2 has proven it. But there are some movies that weren't actually needed like Mary Poppins Returns and why they made a sequel to Mary Poppins is a mystery

Disney once ruled Hollywood with Magic, Money, and Trust. 🏰

But somewhere along the way… something broke.

From Snow White to Lion King, Disney built an empire on risk and bold storytelling. Now? The numbers tell a very different story.

📉 Billion-dollar losses
📉 Franchise fatigue
📉 Fans turning away
📉 And a creative collapse no one saw coming

Stick around—because the truth behind Disney’s fall is far uglier than you think.

Disney names Josh D’Amaro as its next CEO, succeeding Bob Iger

The 54-year-old D’Amaro, a 28-year Disney veteran who has overseen Disney Experiences division, will assume his new role on March 18. D’Amaro won the job over Dana Walden, Disney’s top TV executive who served as co-chairman of Disney Entertainment. Walden was Jimmy Kimmel’s personal pick to succeed Iger. Walden will stay with Disney as president and chief creative officer, expanding her duties to oversee film.

How did Disney go from the Internet most beloved animation studio to currently one of the most hated. In the last 30 days alone, Disney has lost over 7 million subscribers from its streaming service.

Their assets are growing but their value is getting worse. There’s never been a year like 2025 for Disney.

Snow White was a mess, and Captain America could not retain its fanbase. They tried releasing originals through Pixar but even Elio could not restore their lost audience, leaving Disney with no other option than to blame fans for their failure. Disney is dying and dragging innocent studios with them. From controversy to controversy to taking the record for the biggest fall from grace of an entertainment giant within a decade.

Once decade plus into the Disney era, the Star Wars franchise is in the weakest position it has ever been at any point in its entire history, curtesy of Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger, and the upcoming Masters of the Universe is about to make that even more plain than Michael and Backrooms already has.

Lucasfilm spent years fracturing the Star Wars fan base by refusing to focus on making content that all audiences can enjoy and prioritizing merchandising over storytelling while slowly drifting away from the fans who kept Star Wars alive for decades. Now the box office for The Mandalorian & Grogu has revealed that this IP is weaker than ever. Turns out this is what happens when a franchise stops appealing to its core audience.
