Not really.
It ain't as easy as that.

If you calculate the profit margins [(profit ÷ revenue) × 100] of all the companies this is the data : 👇

Netflix = 21%
WB = 24%
Disney = 12%
Paramount = -6.4%
Universal = 15%

This is the profit each company earns per dollar of revenue generated.

This means WB earns more money or profit compared to Netflix. So WB somehow is the King of them all according to that data.

It can be inferred that WB is well optimized to earn more profit than all despite suffering huge losses to its theatrical business. It's the most efficient of all.

One cannot argue with data.

You win.

abduleez1:
Lol, you must be clowning? Right?

Disney and WB makes way more money than the rest combined both in revenue and profits.
It's clearly stated there that Paramount was basically making losses while the others were profiting.
Netflix has a great business model tho.

My mistake on Paramount. Did not see the negative.

My point still stands though.

This means Netflix is the king of them all. At least for now.

That is when juxtapose Profit against Revenue.

There is a lot of waste with the bigger players.

@ Whodeyhause

Just to show you guys the immense scale of the WB company. Everyone knows WB has been undergoing massive losses since last year at the box office. But look closely how much revenue they're still tapping overall even competing with Disney that released way more movies and has many hits.

With WB's disastrous BO they still almost beat out Disney's profit margins. So you see, they know how to cover it up because of their economics of scale.

Great business model by Netflix and especially Paramount. Very efficient.

It's obvious that WB and Disney are just threading water. All that outlay for such returns is a clear sign they need an overhaul.

I want to create a circle of friends…What am I saying more than friends but family…Family that have each other’s back, a family that show genuine love, affection, care, support. I know most of us crave for such. Most of us have been hurt by people will love and care about. Some of us are looking for closure…we need someone to talk to… A circle of like minds.
Trust me Guys, I have a strong feeling that we can achieve this.
If you are judgmental please you aren’t needed
If you aren’t a born again Christian please don’t come close

We will be doing a lot :
Movie Night
Games
Talk show
Heart to heart talk
Hangout etc

So if you are interested you can reach me on WhatsApp via 07047991156 / 07065616074

A true Christian is judgemental, as it should be.
Asking for one is asking for the other.
So I ask, Are you really a Christian?
Or are you the only one 'allowed' to be judgemental in your community of "more than friends but family"?

Glory2DLamb:
N O I L E R S is what you are looking for.

They grow bigger than broilers and lay well.

Mine are roaming like local chicken behind my house. Though I give them some feed, they depend on insects and grasses more than the feed because I want 100 percent organic products.

They don't grow any bigger.

The only advantage is their ability to withstand stress, unlike broilers.

Their meat tastes better though.

Octopusssy:
For me, the catchiest song in Coco is 'Poco Loco'. Encanto by far has more interesting songs than Coco, but despite this, I didn't feel 'Bruno' is all it is hyped to be.

Remember me, nko?

That's the best really.

To me.

Subjectively agree.

MJBOLT:

I love how you ignored my post highlighting the difference between them.

Even the experts know John Wick universe is Assassin focused/based not the gangster shit you want us to believe and if we go by your logic then Infinity War, Wrong Turn,Hills have Eyes etc are gang movies,you can't tell me otherwise.

Correction: The John Wick universe is focused on assassins and their various "gangs" and "gangsters" under one umbrella and 'code'.

I don't know why you are at pains to distance the John Wick movies from the usual "gang-related" stories. Admitting it will not detract from the beauty of the story.

limcar:
James Bond dealt with terrorists, drug Lords, corrupt politicians plotting to overthrow governments not some gun toting gang motherfúckers (screaming westside) like in Boyz in da hood, Bad boys. Those are niggers shit.

Gangs get levels.

But gang na gang.

Very plenty gangs in Bond movies.

ShaqFu:
from the stable of baddestguyp on the beat of foolishness. 😁😁😁

The John Wick movie is full of many well differentiated "gangs".

Look again, and this time see...

MJBOLT:

yeah,keep using that.
People who have seen Assassins and Gang movies can tell the difference between them.

I wonder why the argument.

Thieves, Assassins, Mafia, etc are all "Gangs".

1. United in nefarious activities.

2. Have a code which they live by.

3. Have one enemy - the system.

Any contrary argument is just semantics.

Gmajor:
When the Kimba vs. Simba controversy is brought up, there are two things I notice right away:

1. Most people have seen The Lion King but have not seen Kimba the White Lion (KtWL).

2. Most people think KtWL is a theatrical length movie.

So to address point 1.
Why would you even defend something that you've not personally watched?
I know that in controversial topics like this, it is easy to assume that people who are making the claim that Simba ripped off Kimba have already done their homework and as such must know what they are talking about. But, has it occurred to you that they may be ignorant or biased and as such, may not be telling you the whole truth.
A rule good rule for life is to not have strong opinions about any information you've not personally verified for yourself.


For the second point:
A lot of people think that KtWL is a 90ish minute movie, so when they see the comparisons like the one GloriousGbola Posted, it's easy to see why they'll  say that Simba copied KtWL.
But kimba is in reality made of up a Manga, TV series and lot of movies which when totaled is more than 2000 minutes in lenght.  Just keep that in mind.

This type of argument is like saying vampires exist in The Vampire Diaries and vampires also exist in Twilight, therefore, The Vampire Diaries copied Twilight.




In the same vein, when you're telling your story with animals in Africa, there will be similarities in shots and characters because the settings are similar. It isn't uncommon for common tropes to be seen in similar media.
So the fact that Lion King has a baboon and a parrot isn't really a smoking gun.


Moreover, the team that made the Lion King has always been open about where they got inspiration for the story.
According to them, they wanted to make a tale of Hamlet set in the jungle, but people like to cling to superficialities andclaim they KtWL was the real inspiration which is not true.

Now, let me bust your mind, the pictures that GloriousGbola posted are from the 1996 movie that was released 4 years after The Lion King was released on 1994.
It's likely that these shots exist because the Kimba team saw the controversy surrounding the movie also decided to cash in on it.
It's also good to keep in mind that Osamu Tezuka (the creator of KtWL)  died before the Lion King was so we don't know what he thinks about this.
However, his son has come out to say that the Lion King did not copy KtWL

They copied.

Don't bury the fact in grammar.

Interesting15:
There are many avid patronizers of pornography all around the world. Many young people jumped into this immoral venture via curiosity and the inability to have full control over themselves. There are also many adults who have become a slave to both the bitter pleasures attached to pornography, as well as its numerous unpleasant side effects.

It's so bad. There are so many people in our society currently under the intense yoke of pornography. Perhaps, you are also one of them. But today, if you are ready to cooperate with the Spirit of God, there will be a revival indeed.


7 Things Many People Don't Know About Pornography


1. There is really nothing good in pornography. It is a perversion that defiles nature, as well as the divine order. The Will of God the Supreme Creator, is that sex should be a honourable and sacred activity, and sexual acts should be a private affair between a married man and his female wife in the safe circle of their marriage institution. Everything about porn is a perversion.

2. Whenever you see a porn apologist (those saying there's nothing wrong with porn), please, don't only be wary of them, but also flee from them. Let me expose them here. The average porn apologist is aware that everything is wrong with pornography, but they can't help but promote this immoral thing just for personal reasons. Some of them are directly working for the devil (terrible witches and wizards practicing diabolical occultism), and must do the bidden of their master the devil (which includes, luring and seducing others into sinful activities, so he can have a chance to afflict them). Don't be deceived by their outward appearances.

3. There are certain other porn apologists that are doing what they do because they don't want to be the only ones that will go on suffering from the unpleasant repercussions that follow pornography. Privately and secretly, they personally regret starting the journey of pornographic pleasures, but as they are stuck, they want others to be like them, hence, they portray porn in a positive light. I'm telling you the truth! Don't be deceived by their outward appearances.

4. The terrible effects of pornography are very many. I'm sure you already know some of them. But even more, than you know, there are deeper bitter repercussions attached to pornography.

5. It is possible to totally overcome pornography addiction. The Will of God is that you should have dominion over everything, and you shouldn't be under the yoke of immorality (and satan with hell)

6. You can reclaim your dominion and authority by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This is the first important step you must take. Anywhere you are, open your heart and just say, "Jesus, please come into my life". If you are sincere, God will definitely come to you (because He loves you)

The Holy Spirit will be sent to help you. You now have the power and authority to rebuke lust (even out of your heart and thoughts) and temptations too. One of the things that will happen to you when you give your life to Christ is that you will experience a shift of mindset, and your thought patterns will be divinely enhanced and rightly empowered. You will no longer find solace in porn (or things that will get you dirty and hurt you). You will know the proper way to live life and will form new habits that glorify God, and that will ensure you enjoy the dominion you have been destined to have (don't forget that being under sin makes people forfeit their right to rule their world)

7. On your part, it is helpful to be accountable to a mature believer around you. Set the right boundaries and be busy with productive activities (including fulfilling your purpose, utilizing your talents, engaging in constant spiritual activities like praying and studying God's Word, etc). Also, take appropriate sacrifices (such as putting away your smartphone for some time). You are on your way to victory.

God bless you.

Always back up your points with the required scriptures for credibility.

Give the naysayers some context and something to refer to for further study.

Well done.

OhBritannia:
Does your explanation of the movie makes sense to you?

Copying brain data into machines that are giving same as human rights.

Does this really makes sense to you or you think life is about what you see in movies or computer games.
It's simply not going to happen, that kind of technology will never ever happen because humans have souls.
Computer don't have souls.

Can you transfer someone's soul into a computer?

Zombie movies like residents evil makes more sense than this one.

You should know why i say the movie defy logic.

Take deep breaths.

It's fiction.

It doesn't have to fit into your belief or logic.

OhBritannia:
King Richard is a solid 9/10 for me.

Wow!! What a banger from will Smith telling the stories of Venus and Serena Williams.
This is just a pure inspiration of what every body out there wanting to become somebody In life, this movie is just the perfect Inspiration.
Indeed!! There is nothing impossible in life for you to do, as long as you believe it and then work towards it.

But there is something i just want to say about black Americans in USA.
I know most of them black Americans are all about the ghetto and drugs and all that but the few that made it out from the hood, irrespective of the barriers, the racism and the disadvantages they have to face, these few black Americans like Micheal Jordan, The Jacksons, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Beyonce, jay Z and many of them.
Their breakthrough is why we are all here today.

Without the sacrifices they had to make, there will be no WizKid selling a sold out concert today in London or USA, there will be no Davido performing in a world cup final, there will be no Davido touring around the world.
There will be no Dbanj vs snopp dog.

My points is that the black Americans that broke through the racial barrier in music, sport, politics and business in America made the ultimate sacrifice for all black man and Black woman in the world especially Africa.

This is why i respect them a lot, especially Beyonce and co because y'all have no idea what they had to go through to be where we are today.

I bet y'all have no idea how bad racism was back In the days.
The abolishment of slave trade did nothing for Africa and for blacks.
Yes slave trade was stopped but the real Sacrifice were made by these Black Americans who refused to be second class from martin Luther king to 2 pac to Diana Ross to Whitney Houston to Obama and Many more.

Their sacrifices is why a black man called Davido can headline a fifa world cup final in an Arab country.

No matter what you think about America, please give them their due respect especially black Americans, they are why we are here today.

Take it easy.

One might think you have a Visa interview tomorrow morning...

Jennyclay:
it's not the lady's fault. The man choose to spend.
Let me ask you a question and I need answer. So Should the lady go into marriage with him just because of what he did for her?

Idiotic question.

GloriousGbola:
I remember reading that Chris tucker is now born again - though it is also possible that that is a strategy to escape the irs who have been chasing him for back taxes.

Religious organisations/bodies are not taxed in the US.

So born again Christians in the US are tax exempt?

Fresh water to combat coccidiosis sounds ridiculous

Prevent.

Saves you loads.

Go and learn.

Good bye.

obinna58:
Fresh water huh lol

I can see that you know little about poultry.

obinna58:
Tell this to farmers who lost millions in business and they'll kick you in the scrotum

They only have themselves to blame.

Armchair farmers.

obinna58:
One last question
How do manage coccidiosis?

Good food, Herbs (Agbo), a Clean pen, and Freshwater always.

My babies never fall sick.

THAT IS ALL OOOOO.

No gimmicks.

Visit the nearest poultry drugstore if you notice any sickness.

obinna58:
You should I'm not looking for help.

Honestly I wanted to pop your bubbles but some of your answer made me not doubt you but there are I didn't hear though.

Do you have employers? Why did you say it's easy (this side vex me I swear).

Do you even know there are people who has millions but afraid to invest in poultry.

Fear has torment.

We should always fear what we do not understand, and rightly so.

Knowledge gives confidence, and understanding breeds innovation.

Many want to reap benefits without doing the groundwork.

The Golden Rule in any business: DO IT YOURSELF!

I repeat, poultry is EASY.

Go and learn from practicing farmers, NOT e-books and consultants.

Create your own blueprint - a step-by-step guide.

Stick to it religiously (This is where many lack discipline).

Know your market..............

PS: You need only one staff to run a 1000-capacity broiler farm. No big deal. His job? to feed and then clean the pen.

Formulated.

obinna58:
