Box office analyst and YouTuber Valliant Renegade has estimated that the Walt Disney Co. has lost $890 million on the last eight studio releases, including the woke Little Mermaid remake and Elemental, an anti-racism animated film featuring a non-binary character.

The films contributing to the losses include “Lightyear,” “Thor: Love and Thunder,” “Strange World,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “Elemental.”

Valliant Renegade said that the eight films cost roughly $2.75 billion but only brought in $1.86 billion.

“That can’t go on forever. It’s just simple numbers, folks,” Valliant Renegade said in a video about his estimate. “That’s where we are. The Walt Disney Company is just making all the wrong decisions not only creatively, but in the distribution channels as well.”

Breitbart News reports, “Disney could see even more red ink since these titles are all destined for the Disney+ streaming service instead of other streamers, like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, where they could generate additional revenue.”

One America News noted that “Strange World” included a gay romance, and the Toy Story spinoff “Lightyear” featured lesbians kissing.

The newly released film Elemental is estimated to have the lowest opening of any wide-released Pixar film in the studio’s history.

“Depending on where it falls, this could be the lowest-earning opening weekend Pixar has had since ‘Toy Story’s $29 million take in 1995. Even then, ‘Toy Story’s box office take has not been adjusted for inflation, making ‘Elemental’s box office figures even more disappointing,” according to ScreenRant.

The studio is said to have spent $200 million on the flop.

The movie is aimed at children six and up and is “set in Element City, where fire, water, land, and air residents live together. The story introduces Ember, a tough, quick-witted and fiery young woman, whose friendship with a fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow guy named Wade challenges her beliefs about the world they live in,” according to the Disney website.

Since the two elements that fall in love are opposites, fire and water, their relationship faces some challenges.

The Hollywood Reporter described the movie as having a “serious overarching theme about ethnic strife and racial tolerance; humor for both kids and adults, although this one is more geared toward the 10-and-under set; a plot that hits all the right beats at exactly the right time.” It also contains a pro-immigration message for the children.

“Where Wade comes from a well-to-do aquatic clan that lives in a fancy high rise, Ember is an immigrant from the world of fire who is bent on honoring her parents by taking over their shop, which peddles things fire people would eat (that would be wood),” USA Today wrote of the kids movie. “At one point in the movie, after Ember’s father, Bernie, seems to recognize Wade, Ember says, ‘Not all water people look alike,’ an allusion to the sentiments that many ethnic groups can relate to when being stereotyped. In another scene, Ember is yelled at by Element City citizens who tell her they don’t want fire people around.”

Elemental’s “nonbinary” character, Lake Ripple, is Wade’s younger sibling.

Rhode Island State Senator Joshua Miller (Cranston PD)

Rhode Island State Senator Joshua Miller, 69, a Democrat representing Cranston and Providence, has been arrested and charged with Vandalism/Malicious Injury to Property.

He is accused of deliberately defacing another man’s car because of an anti-Biden bumper sticker on the vehicle.

According to a report by WJAR News in Providence, Senator Joshua Miller allegedly scratched a car with a key. The incident occurred at the Garden City Shopping Center on a Thursday afternoon.

Witnesses reported hearing a loud scratching sound as they returned to their vehicle from shopping.

Cranston police were called to the scene after the victim reported the alleged vandalism.

“Police observed a single long scratch mark on the rear passenger door, consistent with that of a car being freshly “keyed.” The vehicle had a sticker in the rear window which said “Biden sucks,” Rhode Island Current reported.

WJAR News reported that Miller was apprehended in Garden City around two hours after the complaint was lodged.

According to the Cranston police body camera footage, Miller was dressed in the same attire as described by the witnesses, except for his jacket, which he had tucked away in a bag.

When asked by the police about changing clothes at the scene, Miller said, “I took my jacket off, that’s not against the law.”

Miller denied causing any damage to the vehicle and alleged that the car’s owner had followed and verbally threatened him.

Miller further speculated, “I am a state senator. I think he recognized me. I think he is one of those ‘gun nuts.”

The surveillance footage from the shopping center showed Miller standing next to the damaged vehicle. When police later visited Miller’s home for questioning, the senator confessed to the act.

In the body camera recording, Major Todd Patalano can be heard asking Miller, “We got evidence, so you tell us how you want to handle this. You keyed his car?” to which Miller admitted, “Yeah.”

Miller justified his actions by stating the car owner was yelling at him and “dared him,” to do it. In response, Patalano suggested, “We can make either make a big deal of this or a little deal, so.” To which Miller sought the officer’s recommendation, expressing his unwillingness to be accused of a cover-up.

Agreeing with the officer’s sentiments, Miller voluntarily proceeded to the Cranston Police Headquarters, where he was charged with vandalism and malicious injury to property.

The senator was released on $1,000 personal recognizance and will be formally arraigned in court this July 18, according to WJAR.
