It’s about to get pricier to watch your favorite Disney movies!
Disney released its earnings report for the third quarter of the 2023 fiscal year and held an earnings call to discuss the report. We heard some updates about Disney’s theme parks, how the company is doing financially as a whole, and some news on its entertainment division. Improving streaming and Disney+ is a “number on priority,” according to Bob Iger, CEO of the company, and unfortunately, prices will be increasing.
The Walt Disney Company‘s third-quarter earnings call answered a LOT of questions and addressed several important topics regarding the future of the company. One of the topics on many people’s minds lately has been the announcement that Disney may be diving deeper into the world of sports betting with the launch of ESPN BET.
Now, we’ve learned more about ESPN BET and what Disney CEO Bob Iger has planned. Let’s dive in.
Buckle up, y’all — we’ve got BIG NEWS!
On August 9th, stakeholders and Disney fans — the team here at DFB included — tuned in to the company’s Q3 earnings call to check out the details on the Walt Disney Company’s successes and shortcomings during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. The quarter was filled with a few gains and losses, some of which took place within Disney+ — the company’s streaming platform. And now, cracking down on password sharing could be Disney’s answer.
One of the best ways to stay up to date on Disney news is to tune into the quarterly earnings calls.
These earnings reports not only share with stakeholders and Disney fans the company’s financial successes and shortcomings throughout the fiscal year, but they’re also a great way to gain some insight into what Disney’s plans are for the near future. From these calls, we’ve learned about upcoming films, Disney’s plans for ticketing and park passes, and we’ve even learned about Disney’s plans to sell assets. August 9th marked the Q3 earnings call for fiscal 2023, and we learned a LOT about Disney’s performance as far as crowds and ticketing go. Let’s talk about it!
Actors and writers are currently on strike in Hollywood, with the writers’ strike starting in May and the actors’ strike starting on June 13th. As a result, several film projects have been put on hold.
Disney CEO Bob Iger previously commented about the possibility of an actors’ strike (before the strike was officially called), and he received backlash for his comments, which some deemed to be “out of touch” and “tone-deaf.” As the criticism began to spread, many Disney fans wondered if Iger would change his tune about the strikes. In Disney’s third-quarter earning call, the CEO once again commented on this situation.
Things are CHANGING at the Walt Disney Company and we now have an inside look at what’s going on.
On August 9th, 2023, Disney released its earnings report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 (Q3 of FY 2023) and held an earnings call related to the report. Why is this a big deal? Well, these earnings reports/calls give us a peek behind the curtain (so to speak) — a look at just how things are going financially for the Company, from the parks to Disney+. And this earnings report/call revealed some especially important things — let’s take a look!
It’s been a whirlwind year for changes at The Walt Disney Company.
Bob Iger is back as CEO, park passes got an update, Genie+ changes are on the way, and a few executive shakeups have hit the House of Mouse. And now, with Disney+ being a “number one priority” for Iger, we have an update on just how that division of the Company is doing.
We’re not even going to lie. We feel a little bit left out!
Hong Kong Disneyland is getting World of Frozen, and now Disneyland Paris is getting a Frozen-themed area of their own. We found out that this themed area would soon arrive to the Paris-based park in April of 2023, and we’ve been green with envy since! However, a recent video has made that envy even worse. We want a Frozen-land at Disney World!
Going to Disney World on holidays and holiday weekends can be a lot of fun.
Sure, it’s great to be in Magic Kingdom on Halloween, especially if you have tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The holiday season is also extra magical. But even long weekends like Labor Day weekend could be fun, too, although it could also be busy. However, if you ARE going to Disney World over Labor Day weekend, here’s what you should NOT do.
