Disney Losses (and Sequels), Magic Mike's Last Dance, De-Aging Harrison Ford
Disney had a big meeting yesterday and despite trying to offset things by announcing a bunch of sequels, the news was not great. For one thing, the House of Mouse is going to lay off about 7000 people. For another, Disney+ posted its first-ever quarterly losses. Bob Iger has returned, but can he set things back on track for Disney? I guess we’ll see.
The Disney news is just one story waiting for you in the latest /Film newsletter, along with reviews of Magic Mike’s Last Dance and the new season of You, news about how Harrison Ford was de-aged for Indiana Jones 5, and several features and exclusives you can’t find anywhere else.
