Be open yet in normal times? Will they be able to weather a couple months of closures? Or even broader world looking.....I believe beloved theme parks like Efteling in the Netherlands are locally owned. Wonder how they are doing.

So crazy considering how successful they were at the box office alone in 2019.

So "borrowing" my son's Disney+ subscription is pushing them over the edge.

Disney won't go bankrupt. There have been rumors of Apple buying it

Oh, good, only Tim Cook can make Disney a boring, uninteresting company

I was about to dispute you, but I looked at their financials

How many months of operating does that pay for?

conetah

I'm guessing not even a month, just to pay their employees, let alone

I’d be curious what formula is being used to calculate those probabilities
