Why Streaming Lost Disney $4B (And How They Fixed It)
Body:
2022: Disney streaming = -$4B loss. 2025: Disney streaming = +$1.3B profit.
What changed? Not the content. The infrastructure.
Disney stopped treating streaming as one channel. Integrated it into five simultaneous revenue streams: theatrical + parks + merchandise + licensing + emerging tech.
One channel fails? Four others absorb.
Marvel: $13.2B generated (17 years) Star Wars: $12B generated (13 years)
Single-layer IP = fragile. Five-layer IP = antifragile.
Your IP's profitability isn't about how good the content is. It's about how many revenue layers it touches.
