Disney, Netflix, Universal, and Sony have all now bailed on this year's San Diego Comic-Con, while other studios are still 'wait and see' about attending
out later this year. Even that’s in “wait and see,” mode, because, again, there’s no real point in paying for Hall H if Jason Momoa’s too busy striking to come out and rev up the crowd.
All told, it’s a reminder of how vulnerable Comic-Con is to these kinds of forces, as it’s increasingly shifted to being a promotional tool for movie studios that may or may not be in the mood to promote.
