- Disney Star Wars: The Acolyte Viewership TANKS | HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Set to DESTROY It In Ratings on Sunday Season 2 Premiere THIS WEEK | The Acolyte brings 25% LOWER views than Ahsoka | Entertainment News | Stock Market News $DIS
How did Kathleen Kennedy, Leslye Headland, Lucasfilm, and the Walt Disney Company SPEND MORE than TWICE AS MUCH to produce THE ACOLYTE as Warner Bros did on GAME OF THRONES prequel, HOUSE OF THE DRAGON?
One might call it criminally stupid and horrible mismanagement to have created a major production like THE ACOLYTE under the biggest Hollywood intellectual property of all time , STAR WARS, and say "THIS is the best we could do at Disney" when nearly all their competition could have done far better.

🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION FOLKS!!! I seemed to have dropped a CRITICAL CLIP during editing! My statement in the intro regarding THE ACOLYTE being ONE FIFTH the audience of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON is based on the fact that that while ACOLYTE is claiming 11M VIEWS GLOBALLY after nearly a week that is for TWO EPISODES!!!! HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Season 1 was pulling over 25 MILLION VIEWS PER EPISODE in THE UNITED STATES ALONE!!!!🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Valiant...11 million views can be for both episodes? 11 million watched the first...then the second? Or is that 11/2 equals 5.5 per episode?
It's horrible. The numbers
are absolutely trash with no excuses allowed. Fallout had a mainly female cast with 5+ women/women of color including the lead role with 2 of them being in a relationship in all the positions of power. Starwars acolyte is poorly written with predictable twist and storytelling. Nothing is a mystery in this so-called mystery as every single situation is explained in 5 to 10 minutes. Has more plot hole then a fishing net. You can't put it on men, or lgbtq+bashing. Fallout hadall that and even with the huge fear it was getting the TLJ treatment people overwhelmingly binge watched it. Fire Kk and LH. Its trash pouring out of a dumpster fire with those 2. No money made on a cash cow in 12+ years and everything they touch spoiled like milk in the sun. Hasbro went broke because they couldn't sell a single tlj toy in over a decade. You can represent and still write a good story. Fall out has shown us that and Leslie. Headlined and Kathleen Kennedy show us that they can not
Ooof! You have a very direct way of putting it out there, that's for damn sure!
At this point Disney should just rename Lucasfilm Kennedyfilm, The company no longer deserves the honor of being named after it'S founder.
We should have Lucas film and Kennedy film. One for original Star Wars and one for ruined Disney Star Wars. Once Disney finally sells Star Wars they can keep all of their bad creations and we can continue with making movie 7 through 9.
Well if it's called Kennedy film then nobody will show up.
Just name it Flopster Films.
Makes you wonder if her husband Frank Marshall thanks his lucky stars every day that he didn’t let her run his company, Amblin Entertainment, in the ground as well.
George appointed Kennedy head of Lucasfilm. Everything is on him.
So many "biggest show ever" Disney+ shows for me to NOT watch. The drama behind the scenes have been much better than the actual shows Dis+ put out. LOL
For real
Yeah EVERY SHOW they release is "THE BIGGEST SHOW EVER"
Ditto!
Watching Disney set millions of dollars on fire is must see TV.
yep i got rid of my Disney and got amazon prime its great to watch real entertainment not having activists pretending to make movies and push there world view on you
“Everything woke turns to shit!”
This is why DIE will always go broke. They need to pay more incompetent employees to do less work. Same reason Western gaming studios are going broke and shutting down.
lets be precise. Everything made by incompetent "beings" turns to shit. We have woke stories which are good and lovable. I dont know any, but im shure these shows/movies exist. :D
This is not even about the wokeism anymore... It is just about BASIC story writing stuff... I mean, DEI is hiring mentally deficient people to write and run shows.
@@enikonagy5271 Mitchell vs the machine from Sony Pictures Animation.
It works. (1) It has a female main character, a lesbian.
(2) But being lesbian and woman is not the focus of the story.
(3) The story is about how technology has affected the family and how family can work together to overcome problems.
It works because people had fun with it and people can relate to the story.
Star Wars was like a fine meal served at your favorite restaurant.
A perfectly cooked steak, with a shot of Bourbon, or just a glass of soda, sure it had some buttery potatoes and a little salad, there was a little bit of everything a fine meal provides.
Then someone smothered the steak in chocolate frosting, poured a whole jar of rainbow sprinkles on it, replaced the drink with a spinach and soy milk smoothie.. then the same person who did it tells you that the way you like dinner is wrong and that from now on dinner will be like this.
Do you visit that restaurant again?
Starwars is hugely overcooked by now...... my love for it is only in memories now.
It's not food anymore. It's just synthetic candy that kinda looks like steak but will give us cancer.
A guy named Bill bought the restaurant and told all the customers there's too many of us and that cows destroy the climate. He says carbon, but we know what he means.
you're kind to use edible foods as an analogy for what Disney did
You forgot the steaming wet turd they shat out in the middle of the plate directly in front of you.
Putting the anal in analytics.
I'm of the impression that the show runners at Disney are so far gone, mentally, that they believe their own hype. I don't think there's any person left with common sense
Its likely because they locked the door to those with a sense of smell, they are all enjoying their farts to the point, they think they smell like roses, when it smells like poop!!
I think it’s all top down agenda driven content from Blackrock who are probably covering the costs of a lot of these TV series and movies. That also just explains the attitude of the pretend show runners/ writers and producers that behave like school children in multi-billion dollar science lab.
@@superomegaprimemk2 I think they used the pandemic as an excuse to purge dissidents... and well.. purging dissidents always goes well... now doesn't it.
Just don't believe The Hype.
Reminds me of the fart-huffing episode from Southpark
Feels like there is definitely some criminal financial malfeasance happening at Disney. Too bad none of it will be investigated. RIP Disney investors.
It's happening to the whole entertainment market. They are cashing in on DEI investors and streaming service funding for quick profits. Couldn't care less about "unpredictable" follow-up viewership. The release profits are just extra money in the bank. It's why a lot of these flops are touted as successes.
We also need to remember that House of the Dragon had to WIN BACK the GOT audience, no small feat given how it ended. But the audience was there, it gave it a chance and it stuck around.
Moral of the story: “Ya gotta spend a lotta money to lose a lotta money.” 😒
The moral is: "Pump good money into garbage and produce, garbage!!"
Money laundering doesn’t need a good product?
@@buckkowalzek9745 But one needs to hide said money in better places to use it to make more money, but then this company must be using Spaceballs, the flamethrower on said money
It is so ironic: They want to appeal to a broad audience but exclude the long-term male audience.
It is on purpose, they are destroying masculinity
broad is actually a old word for woman, its from the early 20th century. Used for women who were single i think, but I am not sure. So I think they are subtly saying they want a audience of broads, not a audience that is far flung and diverse yet massive, aka broad.
They've alienated men, white people, straight people, women who were long-time Star Wars fans, and anyone who cares about plot, characters, and common sense.
Not to mention their wholesale onslaught on Family customers and Evangelicals... which have always been Disney's core audience and supporters.
Let them sink into their own narcissism..the problem is they were paid for this Acodyke excrement…
HBO is salivating, knowing how bad Acolyte is. House of the Dragon season 2's premium is perfect timing to annihilate what's left of the Acolyte audience.
You beauty!!!! Can’t wait for the annihilation….😂❤
Wouldn’t it be amazing if HBO had the rights to Star Wars?
@@ThespianPrince13 Don't be too quick to celebrate that if it happened. Remember, they gave us "Velma." Ugh.
The Acolyte simply sucks! 😂
Big ones
Wokalyte was not made for legacy fans.. it's not for us, so they can only blame their new audience for not showing up if that's the issue..
What is ironic is that their ideal audience demographic actually is racist and sexist. 😂
There is no new audience, my 14 years old despises all this bullshit, and wants to watch 80's movies
Exactly where are all the wokies?
In the unlikely event they actually make the Ray film, it needs to known as Star Wars Episode X - The Phantom Audience.
What new audience? The "modern audience" only exists in Disney's mind.
"The modern audience will save us. I know they will. They're almost a decade late, but they'll be here any second now." -- Disney in 2023.
"Trolls have sabotaged the modern audience! It's not our fault the fans are racist!" -- Disney now.
It's hard to believe any one on Wall St still listens to anything Iger and Disney says.
My guess is many are still Disney shills. Probably get perks out of the iger corporation if they tow the line
I don't think they listen to Iger. I think Iger listens to them. Wall St has what Iger wants, money... and Iger has what they want... Multiple platforms to weasel messaging into peoples homes.
The only question to ask is... Why are there people on Wall St who want to tank their own business? This has all the hallmarks of the 2008 housing market crash when the music stopped and big banks had to be bailed out with tax payers money...
The truth is, some of these people think they are to big to fail.
Oh they'll listen but they are to naïve to complain, and will just pay what ever Iger asks so, or they'll have to answer to Black Rock, Vanguard and State Street.
It was reported last year that Iger wanted to sell Disney to the Apple company so he may have been pandering to the CEO of Apple by turning Star Wars gay.
It's amazing how shareholders and investors just seem to be willing to be led straight to the executioner as the stick prices go down. How are they able to make it make sense ?
HA!... I fell out of my chair laughing at that Land O Lakes clip.
I don't understand how Disney stock is still rated as Bullish? Unless they misspelled it.
I misread that as bullshit. I think you're onto something.
Move the "i" and add a "t".
LOL
@@ValliantRenegade
I'm glad you got a laugh out of that, man. Keep speaking the facts.
😂😂😂😂😂 good one!!
Never watching any new Star Wars, it's dead and gone. Terrible what a waste
The last straw was when they killed off Spock 🤣
I actually walked out in the Last Jedi and never looked back. Now I'm just hearing how i made the right move.
The best part of Echo was when DD kicked her through the door. lol
R.I.P STAR WARS
“Two five year olds playing Dr” is EXACTLY what Disney executives hunger to see. What an appropriate analogy.
How are we supposed to trust viewership numbers when the only one who can say what the number was is Disney themselves?
Leave it to Dave Felony to make Teras Kasai canon and immaculate force conception a byproduct of Lesbian Space Witches. Like him and his wife.
I was admittedly VERY wrong about Filoni.
True. If Filoni ever has any children, I'd question who the father is, because it wouldn't surprise me if he himself is infertile.
If feloni did have a kid, it would be just a pair of snidee smiling lips full of lies and deceitful smirks! He's a pretender and Lucas wannabe! never rated him, he's just a weird NPC alien in the background like he was with Lucas 😂
Every time I listen to these, it still boggles my mind how badly Disney has been ran for the last 10 years . MCU had a lot in the pipe that kept it going good up until Endgame.
It’s not just media now, it’s the Theme parks too.
I can now see a not all that distant future where Disney will need to sell assets.
Right. They're not going bankrupt, but I can definitely see them having to sell assets at some point in the future.
They will find their SW & MCU asset values will be 25% of what they paid for them. The current SW & MCU asset values are based on the future cash flows expected from the current fan base…. At least a 75% loss of purchase time fan base size has occurred…..
Sacrificing Iron Man was their way of saying f___ the fans. It was intentionally symbolic to note the transition by killing the character that birthed the MCU. Funny, it did signal the end of an era, not the birth of what they wanted.
A lot of the spiraling cost of these shows come from failures in management, principal photography is being filmed before the script is finished resulting in costly reshoots because the sections filmed are not usable. Disney has also moved to the scrapbooking technique, where a lot of scenes are filmed and then the movie is assembled in post production, requiring reshoots to build some kind of connective tissue between the scenes. All this is because of two key failures, executives are mandating production schedules without paying attention to the prepwork, and executives are demanding extensive reworking of the movies and shows while they are in the middle of production. These are failures of management, who will never be held accountable for their decisions.
What they aren't saying is that 11 million of those viewers tuned in to see what all the online complaints were about. 😂
Then started watching on FFWD with subs, and skipping through it about 10 mins in laughing their asses off and shaking their heads, clicked on the next one and went WT actual F lol? skipped through it even faster then went online to destroying it like everyone else with brain in their head.
But yeah... "11 MILLION VIEWS!!! BIGGEST OPENING LOAD OF BULLSHIT WE CAN GET AWAY WITH SPINNING BECAUSE WE HIDE AND OBFUSCATE THE NUMBERS AND COUNT 2 EPS AS 1 WHEN IT WAS LIKELY MUCH LOWER RESPECTIVELY WITH PROBABLY HALF AS MANY WATCHING THE SECONDS EP AT LEAST!!!"
Im just hate watching Acolyte to laugh at that dumpster fire lol
The amount of Disney money that Iger lets Kennedy & Headland waste is obscene.
its 26% now, left a nice little review
You gotta think too that House of the Dragon is responsible for selling some GOT books, house banners and keychains,etc whereas The Acolyte, well….
Can you get Acodyke toilet paper?
Kathleen Kennedy must have some serious dirt on the Disney board to still have her job.
No way someone that incompetent doesn’t get fired without knowing where the bodies are buried
It's because she will sue them for sexist discrimination and formally ruin their reputation. Even if she wouldn't win, Disney doesn't want that PR scandal. At least here they can claim review bombing from istaphobes.
The Force has Daddy Issues!!!!
One critical factor that makes all of this even better is the fact that HOTD was the first return to the world of Westeros after the disasterous final season of GOT, so they did not just instantly have an automatic fan base! They had to make something solid to win them back. I think it's safe to save they've been successful!
Disney: "We want strong female protagonists!"
Also Disney. Kills off Carrie-Anne Moss participation in the series, a actress who for the better part of 2 decades, is known for playing Trinity, the most bad ass female character. Disney can have all the failure it can afford.
Do Disney executives get paid “consulting” fees for each project?? That would explain where all that extra money goes and why they will never stop it.
When the money stream dries up they'll have to.
The Black Cube pays well… it’s never stopping.
I honestly don't know how you spend so much money on something so mediocre!
It's truly baffling
@@ValliantRenegade Money laundering.
@@Puzzoozoo My guess is the higher ups and the cast is a a very entitled little circle and they all pay themselves really well.
The Boys & HotD are going to absolutely destroy The Assolyte.
Just when you think Disney can't run this IP into the ground more, they go ahead and release the Acolyte.
I love the financial analysis of the videos, VR. Always nice to see you break everything down to brass tax.
we aim to please
Even if the views were high, that’s got nothing on potential toy sales, and I’m betting none will move
Alcolyte...I'm touching grass.
Losing 3m People in less then a year project to project aint good. Also historically Disney star wars see a 35-40% drop off from release to finale.
I notice "Disney" didn't mention what type of reviews the got in that time frame....
wonder why that is....
@@ValliantRenegade : Because if they did, "The illusion" is destroyed.
KK working her 'magic' again...
Great breakdown, Valliant! I hope Wall Street is listening
Keep sharing ! They will
That was some great marketing by House of the Dragon in NY I must admit. Very classy.
The difference between House of the Dragon and anything coming out on Disney+ is that House of the Dragon is really good show.
"Look, I'm a cowboy you guys!!!"~Dave Filoni.

I love how they fail to mention those are numbers for 2 episodes so cut every number they put out at least in half
its like calling the Hindenburg a success because so many people watched it burn to the ground
Bruh...not the Land o Lakes! ffs 🤣
Daaaaaaaammnnnnn, BRUTAL! I've loved SW for 38 years, the quote from Forbes sums it up perfectly for me.... "The only ground being broken by Disney, is at the cemetery where they bury our hopes and dreams" Magnifique! All I want is good stories, but it's clear all they want is to make the shows about their political agendas. I love diversity in shows, don't mind representation to some capacity that being, it's not only about that... if the show is exceptional I'm in... I just don't have time for shows that take you out of the universe into our one... not interested in your feelings, your experience in life, I want to be swept away to a place of awesomeness, not dragged down into the mud of boredom and mediocrity. I'm a lifelong fan and I'm out... no way I'm watching anymore of this show. I'll watch Andor season 2, then I'm out for good. SW is now officially dead to me! I'm out for good unless given good reason to return... I doubt that will ever happen with Kennedy steering towards the iceberg of virtue!!
Very disappointing that so many people DO watch this garbage. No accounting for bad taste.
Disney, please stop with this girl power, rainbow bafoonery. George should have never let this nonsense go down.
My favorite representation are the obese jedis.
On a totally different note.I can never get enough of that Bob Barker.....Happy gilmore scene...😂......"Bitch"
WWII Bob Baker is a Bad Dude.js
That's what we used to call a rip off.
What does that say about Disney content? When the most viewed episode is this nonsense.
That would be Bluey!
"You know nothing, Disney show."
--Ygritte, probably
I cancelled my Disney + subscription because of what they’re doing to Star Wars. They could just write their own story, not attach it to Star Wars, and let that story be judged purely on its own.
I wonder if Disney employs anyone that can break this down like you did. I bet not.
To be fair a lot of HoD viewership is rehabilitation therapy after what D&D did to us at the end of GoT.
Whatever the reason, it's still orders of magnitude better written and produced than Anything Disney Marvel or Disney Star Wars and they are spending LESS MONEY to make it, while at the same time creating a product that looks two to three times more expensive than Acolyte
Maybe its a joke, but imho it should have worked the other way. Poeple wouldnt be to keen to jump again into the franchise with the bad memories. I know it was like this for me, I waited long to watch it, becasue i had as freshest the bad memories of the last season of GOT. I started watching not expecting much, thinking i might not even finish the episode and i got blown away...
@@firestarter000001 Oh I know. No like 1/2 my friends went into it desperate for scraps to heal their pain. I was one of the ones that was burned so deeply, I never wanted to set eyes on any of it again. Maybe if when it finishes and sticks the landing maybe I'll give it a chance. But GoT broke my heart with it's hideous writing. I would've rather it ended where everyone fault valiently but in the end it was the Ice King on the throne.
Wall Street needs to lose its shirt financing Disney, maybe then when they have taken a massive financial hit they gang up on Disney's woke board.
Have they tried insulting their core audience?
Hmmm maybe star wars will be so run into the ground that in a few years it can be bought for "cheap" hopefully by someone that isnt a complete moron
when will disney just let go of that cliff edge once and for all?
Meanwhile, we never got a Rome Season 3.
Favreau is rolling over in his star wars penalty right now , we'll always have the magic of episode 16 season 2 .. "sigh"
The problem with the viewership numbers is that they treat it like box office.
People will gladly watch something thats a meme is cringe and awful if its free. If this was a movie it would be seen as a massive bomb. $180 million for 11 million in viewers, most of which are hate watching it
Mae..."come at me bro"!!!😂😂😂
This is what you get when you hire the personal assistant that brung people in for 1 on 1 time for her boss to make your $200M series.. Enjoy your down fall cause I am now..
I really hope that me watching 5 minutes of the second episode doesn't count as viewership.Because if that's the case I won't watch another episode.I'll just watch the reviews on youtube...
🚨🚨 LIKE! SUBSCRIBE! SHARE!!!!!! COMMENT BELOW!!
They can squawk as much as they want about the ratings. But where the rubber meets the road is how many subscribers they have lost. It'll be interesting the numbers for the next report on Disney earnings and how much subscribers they have lost because of the alkaline. Will prove that there is no hope for Disney plus
I think you also forget the lawsuit of that film director that was screwed over by Disney I wonder how much money they lost in that lawsuit. Cuz people say that that series that she didn't accept over Disney was something like 12 million dollars.
Cancel Disney Plus at all cost. Make them pay with the only thing they care about: the loss of money.
There is one problem. A lot of people are "hate watching" it. And those views are counting.
Thanks for the reporting
After almost cringing to death watching the two episodes of Acolyte I switched over to watching "Tracker" season one, I was immediately hooked from the first minute, simply love it, I won't even bother wasting time with the rest of The Acolyte
It is rumoured that the budget for the acolyte is closer to 380 million dollars and that funds were garnered and diverted from other shows that included Andor.
You would think they would get tired of losing money.
Love the analytical approach. Thank you. One thing I don't understand how 210m minutes of viewing becomes 2.5mn people viewing.
210m minutes divided by, say 50min of run time is 4million views.
I don't divide by two for the 2 episodes because I've divided by 50 to cover the run time of the two episodes?
Netflix is streaming Godzilla Minus One this month. Unlike The Acolyte, the Godzilla movie is not a first-run attraction. Before going to Netflix, Godzilla Minus One completed a successful theater run; nonetheless, its first two weeks on Netflix scored over 30 million views. The first week of The Acolyte will not match the views received by Godzilla Minus One on Netflix. If The Acolyte's views drop precipitously this next week, then Headland's first-run TV series will have been beaten by a used Godzilla movie. That hardly speaks of success.
With what Headland wrote, The Acolyte is going to be the nail that drives the rest of the fans away. I for one am done, been done since they ripped Finn's Jedi introduction away, and gave it to a Palpatine that should have been force blind in this generation of movies.
It seems like Disney owned IPs have been running way over budget for years and years. Where is all that over spending going? Into whose pockets is the money going? Are people like Iger and Kennedy getting a piece of every project budget? Are there people not on the books getting a piece? Something doesn't read right there. If other entertainment companies can bring their productions in under-budget (with more success), why can't Disney?
This is the best logical breakdown I’ve seen of the number so far. Thank you.
Really enjoy your take on stuff!
Excellent video, my friend!
These days i see Disney / Pixar, i immediately think DEI & rubbish. Swipe away ...
If i failed at my job the way the guys in charge of Disney are failing i’d be fired after 1 month !!!
They blame it on people not liking women or whatever. Firefly had strong, capable, tough women. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was the same. Both very popular. I could go on and on. There are lots in Korean shows as well. The difference is they have great storytelling.
This isn't Star Wars.
I expect everyone is going to have a good laugh at Ep3 tonight. We will enjoy a few days talking about how terrible it was, and then move on to watch a real show when House of the Dragon returns on Sunday.
I expect a big drop off in viewership for the acolyte off by this time next week
What a mess.

If this brilliant breakdown of finances does not make every Disney executive squirm in their seats with fear really don’t know what will at this point. Staggering spiral of costs right here.
lol valient w the multiple burns to kk and iger.
They think every woman supports bashing men and watching girl boss characters. Nope!! I really don’t know what audience they are chasing.
People tuned in to see how bad it really is… I watched the first two episodes myself for that very reason. And the reviews are correct, horrible dialogue, acting is something out of a WB Channel show like Charmed, then there’s fire in space, characters that just don’t seem to fit, it’s more like watching a high school play with some adults added in, this is the She-Hulk of the Star Wars universe… 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
When it comes to Disney Plus- EVERYTHING IS "THE BIGGEST SHOW EVER" & yet all the drama that actually goes on in Disney that we get to see & hear is infinitly MORE entertaining than the trash they release.
THAT'S the REAL entertainment coming out of Disney today..
It never ceases to amaze me how much money they can spend on shows and yet the end results are worse than garbage.
I have seen stage plays that are more entertaining & better had better props & costumes
14:54 "Then again, it gets worse!"
Everything about The Acolyte summed up in a single line.
the difference is that House of the dragon sticks to the story that is the source while Star Wars ignores everything they already have.
Disney had to shot 4-5 shows in order to get one show to release to the public!!!!!!!
Is that 180 million with or without the tax credits from the UK? Did HOTD have tax credits too? And Acolyte's marketing has to be added. And so does HOTD's marketing, especially hanging banners on US tourist sites. But even if HOTD gets nearer to Disney's budget/cost numbers, no matter, because HOTD is a much better show and you get your money's worth with hour long episodes. Good analysis.
