Disney has just reported its quarterly earnings, and during a call with investors, CEO Bob Iger announced a change that many streaming viewers have been asking for.
It takes a LOT for viewers to commit to a TV show, especially on streaming services.
Let’s face it, a lot of shows never make the cut and end up getting canceled. That includes Disney+, where we’ve recently seen several shows get the axe, including Big Shot, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and more. Well, ANOTHER Disney+ series will be ending after just one season.
If you love Spider-Man, you may want to make sure you have a Disney+ subscription soon.
Sure, you can watch a lot of Marvel content on Disney+, including some amazing series and almost the entirety of the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, the live-action Spider-Man movies, which are technically Sony’s property, have NOT been on the service — at least until now.
When it comes to keeping up with all the new Disney movies coming out, it’s very nearly impossible.
We’ve got the live-action The Little Mermaid to start with, but we’ve also got a new Pixar film on the way, Elemental. PLUS a new live-action re-telling of Peter Pan is coming soon to Disney+ — we’ve recently seen a NEW trailer, but now Disney has offered up an INSIDE LOOK at the film.
When Disney brought Bob Iger back as CEO last November, he brought with him a sense of hope that many had been missing. Iger’s predecessor (and successor) Bob Chapek was seen by some as the CEO who raised prices (not unique to Chapek, for the record), got rid of free FastPasses, and took the Magical Express away from us.
So when the much-loved Iger returned, fans were ready for changes — and changes we got. But, even Iger can’t stop a looming potential recession from happening and recently said that Disney is not recession-proof — meaning anything from your Friday night Disney+ movie lineup to your next trip to the parks could be different.
Okay, fans of the Disney+ series, The Santa Clauses.
We bet you’ve been keeping up with all the news about the series since season 2 was confirmed. That’s right, Scott Calvin and his family are returning to the North Pole, but this time, he’ll have a few MORE people with him. A NEW actor has been cast for the show!
Bob Iger has been back at Disney for just a few months, but we’re already seeing some big changes.
Recently, Iger announced a massive restructuring at the Company, discussed how Disney’s theme park pricing was “alienating” some and how they’re taking steps to change that, and also made comments about Disney managing capacity to shift the mix away from Annual Passholders. So what’s next? Well, it looks like big changes could be on the way when it comes to Disney’s streaming service and Hulu.
The Walt Disney Company just held the first earnings call since Bob Iger’s return.
We learned a ton of details about Disney+ streaming and subscriber numbers, park operations and profits, and layoffs that are coming for the company. We also learned one very important piece of information: what Bob Iger’s number one priority is now that he’s back at the helm.
February 8th might sound like a random day to you, but it’s a critical day that could bring some HUGE announcements from the Walt Disney Company.
Why? February 8th is the first quarterly earnings call since Bob Iger returned to the Company as CEO. And it’s the first earnings call since the controversial one that took place in November of 2022 that ultimately led to Bob Chapek’s ouster from Disney. In other words, there’s a lot at stake. Stock values have fluctuated since Iger’s return and shareholders will likely be eager to know just what financial state the company is in right now (and how much Iger has done to change things). But there’s more on the potential agenda too.
Bob Iger returned as Disney’s CEO last November, and he’s made some major changes in the short time that he’s been back. But could a proxy battle with an investor group mean even MORE changes on the horizon?
Nelson Peltz is an activist investor who has taken a keen interest in The Walt Disney Company. Peltz has some strong opinions about the direction of the company, and he is demanding a seat on the company’s board so that he can get to work making those changes. But how likely is Peltz to succeed, and what could change if he does? We’re diving into all the details here.
