  • Fireworks ERUPT at Disney Meeting Over Indy 5 Box Office FAILURE | Iger

    After making a paltry $60 million at the box office domestically, Indy 5 appears to have dialed up a destiny of losing money, and Disney is extremely unhappy with the opening weekend grosses. My Hollywood spies, along with a walk-in source, claim that an emergency executive meeting was called, and
    that exchanges between Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger got very heated, with factions inside Disney and Lucasfilm trying to assign blame for this box
    office catastrophe. Here are details from a walk-in source, relaying to me
    the rumor that's spreading through the halls of Lucasfilm about what
    allegedly happened at that meeting, but of course as with all walk-in
    sources, take this with an extra teaspoonful of salt! #disney #indianajones #lucasfilm

    Many of these Tinsel Town executives are USC grads. They or their parents are Reagan fans.

    How difficult of a question is it to answer? They went woke and went
    broke.

    Not difficult for a moron with a snappy catch phrase. The movie is bombing because it's the same old shit and people are tired of it. You want to read your pathetic politics into it, fine. Take a theoretical wank on the Bud Lite can with Dylan on it.
    You've earned it.
