What kind of math is this?
Say what you want about Walt Disney as a person, he truly loved telling great stories.
But the people in charge now have no idea what actual creativity looks like.

A lot of people I know just don’t bother with the cinema anymore.
Superheroes fatigue definitely kicking in.
Haunted Mansion: why not release it for Halloween?
