Guess the Rotten Tomatoes Score
Critics: 89%
Audience: 42%
Correct within the first 4 hours of the release.
However, after hour 6, the RT score will be 'corrected' to:
Critics = 95%
Audience = 93%
Also, over the first 3 months of the release it will rocket to 9.8 on IMDB, making history as one of the best movies ever made.
Again...why would Rotten Tomatoes try to prop up a Disney release when they are owned by AT&T(I.e. WARNER BROTHERS) and are rival competitors on almost every front?
Including the new era of streaming wars?
The main shareholder is not WB, it's NBC, which means Comcast. Comcast is above all a cable company, they're not competitors.
Wrong again. They own Universal!!! Disney's biggest animated competitor that owns Illumination and DreamWorks Animation...not to mention their most aggressive competitor in the world of theme parks. Even has a competing broadcast network in NBC vs. Disney's ABC. Also...NBCSports vs. Disney's ESPN and also IS LAUNCHING IT'S OWN STREAMING SERVICE against Disney+.
Are you not aware of the vicious rivalry between Brian Roberts and Bob Iger or the 71 billion dollar war over the acquisition of Fox less than a year ago?
This is one of the most Ill-informed and epic failures I have ever read on this site...and that's saying a lot!
You seem a bit hysterical.
Again, Comcast is a cable company. They had to choose between production or distribution, since going both ways would cause antitrust to intervene. They chose focusing in distribution. That's why they gave up buying Fox (it was almost done), and that's why Disney bought Fox after them gave up.
Right now, Disney is very strong when it comes to production, but they're starting to focus more and more in streaming and distribution. Sooner or later Disney will have to choose which way to focus or... it will be eventually divided by antitrust. If you were Comcast, you'd like to have (1) Disney broken up, or (2) focused in production. The worst scenario for Comcast is Disney focused in streaming but without being broken up, keeping production as a secondary division, the same way Comcast keeps Universal Pictures.
That means that if you were Comcast, you'd be interested in helping their production side while diminishing their TV/Streaming side.
Let's check:
Lady and the Tramp in RT, the Disney live-version that went directly to Disney++ has a worse audience score in RT than it has in MC.

While Lion King has a much better audience score in RT than it has in MC.

Figures.
"They're not competitors.".
