Left-wing fabulist Jimmy Kimmel likely cost the Disney Grooming Syndicate millions of subscribers in September.

According to the analytics firm Antenna, throughout September, the Disney+ subscription service gained 2.18 subscribers, but lost three million. Similarly, the Disney-owned Hulu gained 2.1 million subscribers but lost 4.1 million.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s amoral and pro-violence One Battle After Another is projected to lose $100 million, reports the far-left Variety.

But, as Thomas Jefferson once said, the math ain’t mathin’…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was deliberately obtuse on his Wednesday show when he claimed that the Trump administration’s focus on Antifa is non-sensical because ANTIFA “is just short of anti-fascist.” Kimmel also pretended that the administration thinks Antifa is a terrorist group simply because they have matching signs.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s pro-terrorist One Battle After Another has flopped at the box office.

After three full weekends in release, this remake of the racist masterpiece Birth of a Nation (1915) has grossed just $55 million domestic and $84 million overseas, which brings its worldwide total to a pathetic $138 million.

What happens in Hollywood when, after years of protests against a perceived injustice, the unbelievable happens? The cri de coeur is answered.

If the injustice has anything to do with Israel, the massacre of 1,200 civilians by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and the ensuing war in Gaza, which just ended thanks to a ceasefire brokered by President Trump, the answer is: silence.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another has sparked backlash from conservative audiences despite being the most critically-acclaimed film of the year.

The sprawling 162-minute thriller, directed by 11-time Oscar nominee Paul Thomas Anderson, has wowed mainstream critics and won praise from the likes of Steven Spielberg and Taylor Swift.

But despite the film’s many accolades, One Battle After Another has struggled to recoup its rumored $175 million budget at the box office so far.

LOS ANGELES—Brian Mainolfi has been drawing since he came to this city in 1994. The Baltimore native started as an assistant to legendary Looney Tunes animator Chuck Jones, worked on Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and “Mulan,” and spent a decade on the animated sitcom “American Dad.”

The appeal of the work was simple. “People love cartoons,” he said. “And I love making cartoons.”

Since his last show was canceled in 2024, Mainolfi’s artistic output has been limited to dinosaurs and monsters in his sketchbook. Like thousands of people who work in the entertainment industry, he has become collateral damage of a precipitous slowdown in production. The only work he’s found is teaching an animation class at a Cal State campus three hours away, for $350 a week.

NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors urged a New York federal judge Tuesday to send Sean “Diddy” Combs to prison for over 11 years following his conviction on prostitution-related charges, citing one of his accusers who said she lives in fear of the music mogul’s release from detention.

“His crimes of conviction are serious and have warranted sentences over ten years in multiple cases for defendants who, like Sean Combs, engaged in violence and put others in fear,” they wrote in a presentence submission requesting at least 11 years and three months in prison.

AI actress Tilly Norwood has attracted the attention of multiple talent agents, actor, comedian and producer Eline Van der Velden told a panel at the Zurich Summit, the industry strand of the Zurich Film Festival.

Tilly Norwood is the first creation to emerge from recently launched AI talent studio Xicoia, a spin-off from Van der Velden’s AI production studio Particle6.

My theory: Trump declared tariffs on “foreign made” films to protect the old school industry until AI Film is able to stand on its own against all comers and Hollywood has reinvented itself into the King of AI.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would impose a 100 per cent tariff on all foreign-made movies, an unprecedented move that threatens to upend Hollywood’s global business model.

The step signals Trump’s willingness to extend protectionist trade policies into cultural industries, raising uncertainty for studios that depend heavily on international box-office revenue and cross-border co-productions.

Big problem for California, many US districts offer film industry incentives and tax far less than Newsom’s corrupt little kingdom.

With Jimmy Kimmel coming back to the air Tuesday, some may assume the crisis at Disney has passed. Indeed, Disney has had a horrible week in far more ways than the ABC affiliate firestorm kicked off by Kimmel’s misinformation about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.
