$3.7 billion is almost as much as Disney paid for all of Star Wars (LucasFilm, Lucasart, etc), my guy.

Also almost the same as they paid for all of Marvel.

All driven by a very tame comment by a lame late night talk show host that probably pulls in a hundred mil in advertising for them a year.

This is stinging them a lot.
