Theme parks aren’t to blame. That’s what’s keeping DIS alive and fueling its growth. And they’re still not at full strength. It’s also what’s funding DIS+. They decided to take a left turn and put out some horrible content and at a snails pace unlike NFLX and AMZN. DIS has its ip which is what they need to capitalize off of. And they have for the most part. There’s no point in trying to reinvent the wheel.Of course it did but many of the current plans were put in place, or planned, before Covid. Covid accelerated plans and let them do things that would have been really hard to implement without even worse backlash. In many ways, it helped them do a lot that they wanted. It set them back, financially, and canned a lot of projects (probably for the best) but they were set on course for much of this a while ago. The delays probably did more to the stock price than anything else. Epcot is a mess because it's taken so long. Most rides are a year or more delayed but a lot of stuff that went in, went in poorly. I'm happy to spread a lot of blame around between them all.
Yea seriously, I don’t even think the ink was dry on his extension as CEO.Why did it take soooo long for him to be booted out???
Did he regret it, or was that PR spin?But then Chapek went off the rails and he and Iger had a falling out. Iger regretted the decision. Hopefully he'll get someone better next time.
He regretted it deeply. He has said so in several occasions. Also, Hollywood press has documented the falling out between the two.Did he regret it, or was that PR spin?
Or did Iger not want his legacy at Disney to be that he hand picked Chapek. I know they had a falling out but I think it was all about Iger's wanting to cut the ties so he would not be blamed.He regretted it deeply. He has said so in several occasions. Also, Hollywood press has documented the falling out between the two.
There was a lot of speculation from the start that this is exactly what was going to happenBe there at the onset of covid.
"Retire" as it starts to fall. Let some scapegoat you appoint take the fallout.
Come "to rescue" to sinking ship and likely drive a hard bargain in doing so.
Brilliant.
I would love to see what the comp package looked like. I bet it set records.
And with that can he improve the overall content? IMO “Andor” is awful.The main problem is streaming. It lost $4 billion over the last year. Yikes. That needs to be figured out fast. Hopefully the ad tier helps. Maybe pay for early access to shows and content? They need to get creative to turn Disney+ around.
( maybe not so good for short term stock gains)
