2. Here's to visions of Michael Eisner, kicking himself through a plate-glass

window. Take THOSE profit figures to your next board meeting, Mr. Eisner, and see how your boardmembers like 'em. Especially since YOU TURNED 'EM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"My Pet Goat" will actually be retitled "The Michael Eisner Story."

4. The jerk Eisner also screwed up with Pixar

what an overpaid jerk...

5. Which is why the remaining Disney on the board

is so upset with Eisner.

6. I said just almost the same last night. If I owned any significant stock

in Disney at this moment I would be screaming for Eisner to be fired! Owning stock is about making money and it is his job to do well, on my behalf right? Michael, "you're fired". Where is Trump?

10. Holy Boffo, Batman! That's amazing. The weekend could go $30M!

That'd be awesome and among the top 200 opening weekends of all-time ... and with less than 900 screens is phenomenal.

11. Incredibly good news

It's so unbelievable that it could make that kind of money, being that it's playing in a fraction of the theatres that the other new movies are playing in. Just unbelievable.
