"Star Wars" Saves Disney After All
For all the hate that Star Wars has been getting lately, you'd think that Disney (NYSE: DIS) is down to panhandling to keep the franchise alive.
Social media, vloggers, and die-hard fans of the galactic series have been warning that the new Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride that opened earlier this month at Disney World was going to be a dud and that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was going to be a theatrical disappointment. Reality has been far kinder to the House of Mouse.
When it comes to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the ninth and final installment in the original series did have a disappointing opening weekend. Weak critic scores and folks bellyaching about the film before it was even released may have hurt initial demand. Generally deteriorating multiplex traffic trends didn't help, either.
