2024 Is Going To Be A Very Different Year For Disney (& It Shows How Much Has Gone Wrong)

Surprisingly, Disney has very few new movies confirmed to release in 2024, which shows just how rough 2023 was for the company.

However, what isn't usual for Disney is that seven of these eight significant films underperformed at the box office. Now, Disney seems to be approaching 2024 with an abundance of caution, only confirming a few upcoming films, and this could be a good sign for the company's future.
