1. GOOD!

[Jack Valentino]

58. DITTO!!!!

[Mr.Bee]

68. Boycotts Work

Money Talks
BS walks

[eShirl]

2. I wish they posted proof or something

seems a bit much imho

[dcmfox]

5. Market losses are 4 billion

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Your 500th post is not true. . . . nt

[dcmfox]

14. I'm sure you have the facts

AI Overview
On September 17, 2025, ABC—owned by Disney—suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the host made remarks about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Following the suspension, Disney's market value reportedly dropped by nearly $4 billion amid calls for boycotts and subscription cancellations from both conservatives and Kimmel supporters.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Yes I have the facts, and AI is not a good source. Ditch the AI. It is leading you astray

You could have gotten the facts as easily as I did.

[ProfessorGAC]

45. Actually...

Since market open at September 18 ($115.25) to close on Friday September 19 ($113.40) they saw a $1.85 per share drop.
At roughly 1.8 billion shares outstanding that's $3.5 billion.
Not exactly $4 billion but not ridiculously inaccurate.

[wolfie001]

65. That's how I round my $ when doing my taxes

If there's a .50 on a line on my tax form, I round it up to the nearest whole number. So, $3.5 billion rounded up to the nearest whole billion is $4 billion. Simple math. Go Jimmy! Also: F6ck these sell-out bootlicker corporations.

[eShirl]

28. oh ok, that kind of loss

[SickOfTheOnePct]

7. I checked some market cap numbers...

...from close on Tuesday and close on Friday...never an exact science, but looked to be a bit less than $3B, which is ~1% of their value.

[Groundhawg]

3. No one can know that.

[dcmfox]

9. Google

How much money has Disney lost from Jimmy Kimmel?
Disney's market value reportedly dropped nearly $4B after suspending Jimmy Kimmel's show.7 hours ago

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. (google's) AI is not a trustworthy source. . . . nt

[dcmfox]

23. Look

Disney makes most of its money on subscribers, they have lost 700k, does that help?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. Wrong and misdirects and UNSOURCED (again).

https://www.statista.com/statistics/193140/revenue-of-the-walt-disney-company-by-operating-segment/

Disney makes most of its money from Sports and Experiences (theme parks). Money from Entertainment is only partly subscribers since movies in theatres, DVD/Blueray sales, and merchandise also account for a lot.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1095372/disney-plus-number-of-subscribers-us/

700k is a drop in the bucket out of 126000k (126 million). Disney lost over 38000k (38 million) subscribers in less than three years.

[thesquanderer]

57. Disney Entertainment includes LOTS of stuff

ABC, Hulu, FX, A&E, Lifetime, ESPN, Marvel Studios, Pixar, Lucasfilm (Star Wars)...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Entertainment

[Bernardo de La Paz]

60. Yes. And that means lots of ways to let them know. . . nt

[sl8]

25. I got a similar answer from Google's AI, but it's sources were 3 Facebook posts and an X post.

That's worthless as a source.

[Groundhawg]

69. Most companies do not report their less than day old finances to Google.

[CousinIT]

4. FAFO Disney. Sleep with criminal dogs. Get fleas. n/t

[Ping Tung]

6. Something similar to a fucking downer for the perp.

[kimbutgar]

8. And people are dropping their Disney Hulu subscriptions

And it’ll be interesting to see if the park attendance goes down.

[ashredux]

17. Yep.... Cancel mine, and felt good doing it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Not true, and no source. The Bluesky post is a fuckup

Presumably the post is based on some kind of stock valuation. There are multiple problems with it.

1) The stock owners own the stock, not the company.

2) Stock is an unrealized asset. It is worth only what it can be sold for at the time of the sale.

3) The stock market was closed overnight. Sept. 20 is Saturday.

4) Stock trading on the shoulders 4-8 pm and 5:30 to 9:30 am is "after-market", not the actual market. Trades are much more expensive than during the day, so it is a lousy indicator of what trading will be the next day.

5) Disney closed at 115.23 on the 16th.
Disney cancelled Kimmel on the 17th (Wed.).
Disney closed at 116.10 on the 17th, up 0.87, a gain in market cap of $1.57 billion.
Disney closed at 113.76 on the 19th, down 1.47 from Tues, a loss of market cap of $2.64 billion in three days.

Hardly overnight. Only 1.29 %. In two days in April, Disney lost 10.4% of its value.

[fujiyamasan]

18. Thanks for giving more context

I was about to check the stock price and market cap to see what this was referring to.

I hate posts like that on Blue sky. There was literally no source or context (what does “loss” even mean here?) and they could just as well have been making up the numbers.

[dcmfox]

40. here

[fujiyamasan]

44. "Culture base"? Pakistan's "Tribune"?

I’m sorry but these are simply not sources I would follow for financial information.

I’m still not understanding why a 1-2% drop in stock price over a few days is a big deal. If it fell a few percent overnight, it was likely on low volume anyways.
I saw the price dropping over a few days, but it’s not clear if it’s in anticipation of subscribers dropping or just an aversion of Disney’s involvement in politics after the Florida conflict with desantis a few years ago.

I’m not saying Disney has handled this well. Not at all. I’m just saying when we discuss numbers they need to be legitimate and sourced correctly.

[dcmfox]

43. ok

It's simple math.. stock prices went down 2%.. market cap was 208 billion, and it's now 204 billion. They lost 4 billion in market cap valuation

[progressoid]

49. It'll bounce back.

It took a much bigger hit when Trump started ranting about tariffs.

[Buddyzbuddy]

21. I really appreciate your market knowledge, thank you.

Keep on keeping it real.

[Grim Chieftain]

11. Well, you know what they say about payback -

[Nigrum Cattus]

13. That's a good start !

Don't stop now
Stick it in and break it off

[rzemanfl]

16. How many MAGA insiders will make big money on this?

This whole administration is a scam inside a massive psyop.

[ReRe]

63. (I don't have my glasses on and read the last word in your reply as "polyp".)

[rzemanfl]

64. I forgot what the last word

was. There is nothing about TSF that is usually benign.

[SSJVegeta]

19. He better not give an inch to come back

The egg is on their face and truth is disney can and should get canceled if they dont admit their mistake

[Fla Dem]

22. Oh, so sad. Let me wipe away my tears.

[Greg_In_SF]

24. I thought it

would have been more than 2%. Still worth $200 Billion according to the interwebs.

[Omnipresent]

26. ABC's legal department is fucking up ABC.

Hopefully the people in charge can figure that one out!

[Wiz Imp]

32. By all accounts, this decision was made by Disney (ABC's owner), not ABC itself

[Omnipresent]

36. You're right!

Disney’s legal department is fucking Disney!

[BlueKota]

39. Never an Eisner fan

but he said Iger and the rest of the leadership at Disney made a huge mistake in suspending Kimmel. He said that they should have called Carr out and stood up for free speech.

[Wiz Imp]

46. Yep. It's pretty clear they are already regretting it but they boxed themselves in

So they are struggling to figure out how to move forward from here.

[BlueKota]

48. They lost ground with a lot of the general public

and their talent pool as well.

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Yeah, 'oop's' is indeed

a fuck -up.

[aeromanKC]

30. Makes you wonder how much that Nexstar merger is worth?

Could be $4 billion is just a drop in the long term bucket. Regardless, they lost my now money.

[Wiz Imp]

33. The Nexstar merger shouldn't be worth anything to ABC

[C_U_L8R]

31. It's not a principle until it costs you money

But the lack of principles is priceless.

Way to go, Big D.

[republianmushroom]

34. May it be one hell of a lot more.

Fuck the duck, Donald Duck, that is.

[Native]

35. Why are you posting something with no source?

[red dog 1]

37. Boycott Disney!

Link to tweet

[Haru]

38. The point is:

Disney does not support 1st amendment

[raccoon]

41. Ain't that a shame? /s

[flvegan]

42. 105 Recs as of this moment.

THAT is the interesting thing about this post.

[Wednesdays]

47. I didn't rec it

And I agree that the numbers seem suspicious.

But I agree with the premise: that if the boycott is the beginning of a trend, then yeah, it's going to cost Disney big time.

[BlueKota]

50. Tatiana Maslaney appears in a Disney Plus show

called She Wolf. She urged people to drop their subscription. I admit I have never heard of her or the show, but it's a indicator of how much bad will this decision created for Disney, when their own talent is telling people to stop subscribing. It will be interesting to see if more if them will follow her lead. I read a lot of people are urging people not to go to any of Disney related movies this summer either.

[thesquanderer]

54. She starred in 2022's She-Hulk (not She Wolf). She's best known for Orphan Black.

She-Hulk was a Disney+ series. She's not currently involved in any Disney project AFAIK.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatiana_Maslany

[BlueKota]

55. Thank you.

I didn’t realize she no longer worked for them.

[MrWowWow]

51. Encore! Encore! Encore!

Not even if Mickey finally went down on Minnie (on the secret Disney X channel) would those billion$ in lost revenue EVER come back!

[SickOfTheOnePct]

52. What...

…”billions in lost revenue?”

[calguy]

53. They didn't actually lose anything overnight

Their stock lost value, as would be expected after the news, but stocks fluctuate all the time, depending on a variety of factors., like earning statements,and in this case, a negative news event. A year from now it will simply be a blimp on the stock chart.
There was a lot of talk about how much Elon Musk lost when he was messing around with government affairs, and while Tesla stock tanked significantly during that period, the stock has recovered all of its losses and is significantly higher today than it was before the election. So in the long run, stock valuations only affect those who decided to sell the bad news, when Disney’s fundamentals haven’t really changed all that much. Whatever losses the stock suffered short term, it will probably make up in the months ahead.

[58Sunliner]

61. Well, if Tesla was actually just a car company, it would be hurting.

Starlink is the real money maker, along with corporate welfare and govt contracts.

[dlk]

56. I would suggest growing a spine

n/t

[KentuckyWoman]

59. I dropped and sold

I will miss MASH on Hulu but there is plenty to watch elsewhere. Also sold my little bit of stock in A&E, Lifetime, History and FX ... all owned by Disney.

Made some money on the stock sale. There is a local shelter that specializes in helping homeless LGBTQ teens. I have given the profit to them.

[Joinfortmill]

66. Ha! 3.87 billion for the good guys!
