Blackfish and Dollar Voting

Very happy to see the power of investigative journalism & dollar voting coming together in the case of SeaWorld. According to a second quarter earnings report released this week, SeaWorld shares have dropped 30% since 2013, a plummet directly attributed to the award-winning documentary Blackfish released last year by CNN Films.  I watched this film earlier this year and admit I was moved to tears.



From HuffPo:
"Revenue declined 1.5 percent to $405.2 million. Analysts expected $447.7 million.

SeaWorld shares dropped $8.41, or 30 percent, to $19.74 in midday trading. The stock is down 31 percent this year."

If you haven't seen the film, get in on Netflix and grab a big box of tissues.
