But Greenfield, in a <a href="http://www.btigresearch.com/2015/12/18/even-the-force-cannot-protect-espn-downgrading-disney-to-sell-with-90-price-target/">blog posting Friday</a>, said a blockbuster movie wouldn’t be enough to right past wrongs.</p><p>In his posting, Greenfield wrote that Disney overpaid for sports rights based on too aggressive subscriber projections. Earlier Disney said it lost about 3 million pay TV subscribers in fiscal 2015.</p><p>“Not only did Disney overpay for individual sports rights packages, they also acquired too many sports rights in an effort to prevent new competitors such as Fox Sports 1 and NBC Sports from growing stronger,” Greenfield wrote.</p><p>He continued that as a result he expects Disney to “meaningfully underperform investor expectations” given that cable networks represent about 44% of Disney operating income. He predicted that Disney’s fiscal 2017 operating income will be down and total OI will be flat.</p><p>Not surprisingly, Disney stock was down on the news, dropping as much as 3.5% ($4.09 each) in early trading Friday to $108.12 per share. The stock was trading at $108.88 each, down 2.8% ($3.13 per share) at 10.25 a.m.</p>

In addition to the films, the channel will air documentaries and featurettes about the iconic science fiction franchise. The launch comes about a year before The Walt Disney Co., which <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/10/30/disney-star-wars-lucasfilm/1669739/">purchased Star Wars creator Lucasfilm in 2012</a>, is slated to release the next film in the franchise – <em>Star Wars: Episode VII</em>, which will bring back actors from the original trilogy including Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.</p><p>“We are well aware that December 18th 2015 is much too long for fans to wait until the release of Star Wars: Episode VII. Many thanks to our outstanding partners Disney and Lucasfilm for the opportunity to exclusively offer Sky Star Wars HD,” said Sky Deutschland executive vice president of programming Gary Davey in a statement. “For someone who has been a Star Wars fan since the first film 37 years ago, this project is a dream come true. Anakin, Luke, Leia, Han – in December the entire Star Wars family is coming to one channel, around the clock. This is the sensation of the TV winter in Germany and Austria.”</p>
