Hope other people can help him with the movie side. CEO's job is primarily overseeing the operations of the company as a whole; it is not really a creative job;only creative decision the CEO makes is whether or not to greenlight a project submiited to him by the other divisions. Content creation is simply generally below his pay grade;that is the job of the division heads.. Which is why a number of Studio CEO's say they really enjoyed being the head of Production a lot more;they were much more involved in the creative process then they were as CEO,where their involemnt was pretty much saying "Yes" or "No" to submitted projects.

Jonwo Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Iger deserves credit for making Disney the powerhouse it is today due to making key acquisitions, before he became CEO, they weren’t in the best place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 You can leave a hero or stay long enough to see yourself become a villain. Iger is leaving on a high note. if he forsees trouble ahead and doesn't want to take the blame, this is a damn smart move on his part. I mean, it isn't unexpected because he said he wanted to see Fox merger and D+ finished and then go which is what he did now. I don't buy conspiracies but he went on the record that he was interested in political career so that may be a long-term plan. But I'd say that immediate reason is that he knows this is his high note and he doesn't want to ruin it by giving himself just a year for some of the stuff to deflate. Nothing to see.

In fact in Eisner';s last years, Pixar's contract was up and they seemed destined to leave Disney, because Eisner had alienated Pixar's management to the point where they where they made no secret that once the contract expired and they could go anywhere they were outta there. In fact the Pixar situation was a major reason there was a stockholder;s revolt and Eisner was forced out,to be replaced by Iger. I think Iger is aware that Eisner stayed around too long, and ended up tarnishing his legacy at Disney and does not want to make the same mistake. . Irony is Eisner saved Disney in the 80's by his decision to start making films that were aimed at grown up by setting up Touchstone and Hollywood films,but his in last years was undoing a lot of what he had done earlier. Hard to believe, but in the early 80's Disney was doing so poorly that many though a takeover and merger with another studios was a strong possilbity.

DeeCee Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Pixar was gone from Disney. Jobs didn't want anything to do with Disney until Iger made contact and they built a relationship. Iger even asked Jobs to speak to Perlmutter during the Marvel purchase about Pixar's experience after being taken over by Disney. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/09/bob-iger-remembers-steve-jobs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold a lot of it good while ago, enough now that it is not public anymore if they still own any. Many other could be bigger by now, but by the time of the transaction: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric the Clown Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/studio-profit-report-2019-disney-reigns-netflix-gains-1281114 Quote Disney: Studio results for 2019 include Fox from the close of the merger on March 20, making it a tale of two companies. Led by Avengers: Endgame, Disney reached an unprecedented $11.1 billion at the global box office before including Fox, with Disney, Marvel and Lucasfilm hits galore. Overall, the company became the first studio ever to have seven $1 billion releases in a year. The plan for 2020? Getting 20th Century Studios on track and making sure such tentpoles as Mulan, Jungle Cruise and Marvel's Black Widow and The Eternals, plus Onward and Soul from Pixar, perform. "2020 is not going to be the same as 2019 for the studio," outgoing Disney boss Bob Iger told analysts Feb. 4. But given that Disney+ is a focus and that the company's direct-to-consumer and international unit, which includes the streamer and Hulu, saw its operating final-quarter loss rise to $693 million due in part to the costs associated with launching the streaming service, analysts will keep an eye on disclosures regarding its impact on the studio unit.

It's very hard to predict other studios release schedule due to unpredictable nature. Disney's is very easy to predict in this regard. 2to3 live action movies 1 in March 1 for Memorial day 1 in last July /beginning August 3to4 MCU movies 1 in February 1 in Last April/beginning May 1 in July 1 in November beginning 1 Star Wars and Avatar movie alternating during Christmas 1 animation for Thanksgiving (likely Disney) 1 animation in June (likely Pixar) Maybe animation in March 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
