They've increased headcount when times were good, and reduced it when that demand recedes. What would they do differently if they had a 100% accurate forecast?

Is it possible that Disney (Walt Disney Co) makes more money by providing its content via Disney+ rather than in theatres/via other streaming platforms? So while Disney+ itself might be losing money, Disney as a whole is benefiting.
