I watched:
 

It was posted yesterday that they’ve already officially declared that it’s
going to have a much smaller opening weekend than previously claimed. I
don’t know why the hell you’d put out a press release like that talk about
self-fulfilling prophecy.

 
I think the answer is that Disney is basically a sh*t show now, and
nobody seems to know what they're doing, or what they're trying to
accomplish.
 
And it feels like that goes double for SW and the MCU.
 

 
And that they still haven’t learned to keep their peoples mouth shut, not
even after Larson and Zegler and Mackie.

 
Ah, that may not be the case. At least from what I've seen Larson has
learned to try and keep quiet on subjects outside of the movie she's
helping promote. According to one video she even responded to a
question from a reporter with a comment that there was no good answer
to that question. So they can learn, even if it takes a few years and
multiple mistakes.

What I meant is that Disney hasn’t learned to muzzle these morons. Larson
may have learned but luckily for the audience it’s probably too late. Her
career seems to be over.

They used to have handlers who went with these people on the press junkets
to keep them in line. They either need to do something like that or just
stop letting them talk to the public or you know fine them $1 million every
time they say something obviously injurious to the project.

You would think they would reinstate them after the first few flubs.
After all Larson certainly managed to help tank her MCU movies with
her comments. So it was clearly in Disney's advantage to help coach
Larson on what not to say. Same goes for that Zegler gal (Snow White).
Yes, SNOW WHITE was always going to have some issues but she didn't
help sell the movie.
