What they should do is break the embargo for new movies. Not publicly of course, but they should watch it, and then leak the plot anonymously on the internet. Put up an anonymous twitter account and write "the leaking will continue until morale improves".
This would not just be a protest against Disney's recent unfair practices. I can't find the link, but I've read that one studio tried to micromanage reviews while the film was under embargo - not to negative, don't write about this, emphasize this, and so on.
In general, our society could benefit from more whistleblowing and disobedience - even in the "trivial" entertainment industry.
(Of course, this is not a reccommendation to break contracts or law, just an hypothetical analysis what you could do in a certain situation to affect a certain change :-) .)

Or maybe our society could benefit from not believing a single word journalists or critics say. I think that would be easier than fixing a rotten industry.
- xupybd 9y agoTwo wrongs don't make a right. What you're suggesting is a violation of trust, I'd never recommend that. Acting with integrity is what we want Disney to do, yet your suggest we force them to by throwing away our integrity? You're not suggesting whistle-blowing that is very different. That is when the person holding your trust is acting in very bad faith toward someone and you can alert them to that fact. This is just revealing something that would be damaging to their business interests in an effort to bully them into changing their ways. Yes it would be good if they change for the better but not at the cost of the media changing for the worse.
