This is unprecedented. On January 19, Bill Donohue sent a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan, [...]
Disney had a strong fourth quarter last year, but overall 2023 was not kind to the company. How much a role our documentary played in that development we cannot say with any precision, but it is fatuous to say it was without effect. In terms of market share, Disney slid to second place last year; Universal [...]
