It’s probably for the best that actors return this year, Copic said, considering San Diego wants a good showing with Comic-Con’s contractThere’s been a persistent fear that Comic-Con would split for a bigger convention space in Los Angeles and Anaheim. However, the continued spillover of attractions into the Gaslamp Quarter is something that gives San Diego an edge, he said.
“They went all-in with streaming,” Dar said of Disney, in particular. “They put out too much content and I think people got sick and tired of it. The quality suffered. And now we’re seeing a pullback on spending.” Regardless, the convention is always expected to be a boon for the city. San Diego State University estimates the impact of the convention is more than $165 million in overall spending with more than $90 million in direct attendee spending. That takes into account hotel stays, restaurants and numerous businesses that surround it.
