Think of all the Mickey ears that get sold at the parks. Either way there is a boatload of Mickey related revenue still…
- thfuran 3y agoDisney doesn't need to rely on IP protection to maintain a hand in merch sales in their own parks.
- Closi 3y agoSure, but the claim was that Winnie the Pooh currently brings in more money than Mickey.
- hinkley 3y agoI don’t have the link anymore but at the time I was sent to a breakdown that was above $5B for all Winnie, and around 4 for Mickey and friends. Obviously not nothing, and the fact they are close together doesn’t give Disney a ramp down once PD starts affecting them.
- Closi 3y agoThis link puts Winnie at about half the merch revenue of Mickey recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises#cite_note-58 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media... Still a substantial franchise though, and looks like it got a bit of a boost around 2005 & 2011 where some newer movies got released.
