Probably (at least) STRANGE WORLD is going to be blamed on Chapek even if it was greenlit by Iger. . notfabio Nov 20, 19:11

obviously this is not a move of strength from the board, welcome though it may be (the next Chapek will just be looking over his/her donny blaze Nov 20, 19:25

the behind the scenes articles are gonna be lit (maybe the board doesn’t think Plus losses have actually bottomed out) {nm} donny blaze Nov 20, 19:44

It's definitely a sign that they know something worse is on the horizon, which they hinted at with earnings. notfabio Nov 20, 19:50

I don't think Peter Rice ever landed anywhere else, so that would be a nice storybook ending for him if he is chosen to replace Iger in 2yrs notfabio Nov 20, 19:44

anybody but the theme parks guy! {nm} donny blaze Nov 20, 20:10

THEATRICAL SAVED? {nm} Moviesnob Nov 20, 18:52

Iger has commented that he doesn't think theatrical ever comes back to 2019 levels, but still better for theatres than Chapek {nm} notfabio Nov 20, 18:54

Also probably means Disney is going to acquire someone else as that is Iger's specaility. {nm} notfabio Nov 20, 18:57

Chapek skated by because quarterly earnings held up (especially parks), last quarter they didn't and.... notfabio Nov 20, 19:33

It's still odd that this happened literally as Disney is about to be #1 at the box office for the rest of the year. Go figure. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 20, 19:34

Disney stock price is $90, down from a high near $200, barely above the pandemic low of $85. Antibody Nov 20, 19:59

Its likely Iger would have suffered the same loss on streaming. Thats happening everywhere except Netflix Moviesnob Nov 20, 20:15

I think at the least Iger would have shepherded the post-COVID return of exhibition better {nm} donny blaze Nov 20, 20:25

sure, but they'd still be at a huge loss on D+ right now. That was always the plan, it wouldnt make money right away Moviesnob Nov 20, 20:35

The D+ viewership is underperforming or bombing, SW is now damaged, Marvel is M-SheU and feels like homework to keep up. Toys and merch Math is for everyone Nov 21, 04:05
