What's this?

The pandemic has certainly caused The Mouse to hemorrhage money this year.

Theaters have been closed most of the year. No movie releases, especially the "blockbuster" kind.

And it's amusement parks have been shut down for the same period. I believe Disney World in Orlando is about to reopen, but it remains to be seen how many -people will bust through the gates to visit the part for the rest of the year.

I hope so, that network went downhill after the mouse bought it. ** -- Betabeachbum 10/16/2020 3:57PM

If I were in charge of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, why would I buy it? -- Roanokie 10/16/2020 10:39AM

Me too, but Disney is talking streaming without ESPN, it seems counter, but -- Stech 10/16/2020 07:08AM
