TSG, a film financier, filed a lawsuit against Disney (and 20th Century Fox Film Corporation — “Fox”) in Los Angeles Superior Court for not getting their share of the profits for movies they had financed for Fox. TSG had alleged that Disney/Fox had breached their contract by using “nearly every trick in the Hollywood accounting book” to “deprive” TSG of “hundreds of millions of dollars.” Now, several months later, there has been an update on the suit.
Since Bob Iger returned as CEO of Disney, we’ve seen quite a few changes follow.

He was likely brought in for a number of reasons, one of which is that he is widely viewed as one of the best CEOs Disney has ever seen. Under Iger, Disney became the entertainment powerhouse it is today — though some believe Disney’s acquisition of Fox was a mistake. But, was it really?
Disney is no stranger to controversy.

It has made some controversial changes at the parks over the years (like the removal of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights), has created some divisive snacks, and has been caught in the middle of its fair share of scandals. But sometimes, when the controversy has become too strong, Disney has totally ditched those complicated things. So just what has Disney abandoned over the years? Some of these things you might be familiar with — but other things might be a total SHOCK.
We’ve all seen it, we all love it, and of course — it makes us all cry. Come on, it’s Titanic. Jack totally could’ve fit on the door.
Titanic door. Totally big enough for two.
20th Century Fox’s Titanic is a beloved movie for so many of us — and somehow it manages to stay relevant at movie nights years later! It’s still relevant 25 years from its release date, in fact! To celebrate 25 years of Titanic, TONS of new merchandise has arrived online at shopDisney.
The past few years have brought major entertainment acquisitions to the Walt Disney Company.

The largest, perhaps, was the acquisition of 20th Century Fox and all its associated studios. Now, Disney is shuttering one division of the former 20th Century Fox and canceling an upcoming film.
We’ve seen a lot of changes to Disney movie release dates this year!

Disney has postponed a number of release dates and film and television productions due to the global health crisis. The live-action remake of Mulan was initially scheduled to release in March and is now postponed with an undetermined release date. The future Star Wars and Avatar films have all been pushed back one year too.
Do to all of the changes, we did some digging and compiled a list of all the Disney movies coming out in 2020 and 2021 with the current release dates. This list also includes companies owned by Disney like Searchlight Pictures and 20th Century Studios. [Read more…]
With the recent closures of the Disney parks, there have been several measures taken by the Walt Disney Company to maintain economic viability. One of those measures has been a major salary reduction for Disney executives.

This announcement came just last week, but it seems that all has not gone smoothly with the pay cuts.
It seems the terms of the amended company contracts failed to provide an end date to the salary reductions, among other things, prompting executives to push back against the cuts.
While Walt Disney Studios is already a HUGE industry, Disney has branched out into other franchises like Star Wars and Marvel!
