Iger’s reasoning for this was that there’s too much competition and choice now. “I don’t think movies ever return, in terms of moviegoing, to the level that they were at pre-pandemic.” “I think the wound that the moviegoing businesses has suffered, which began really with Covid, and it was exacerbated or hastened by Covid, it resulted in a permanent scar,” Iger said.

In the discussion at the Code Conference, Iger, one of the most important figures in the history of Hollywood, also touched on the entertainment industry. Actually, the deal we had was pretty cheap.” “I don’t remember the number, but we discounted the value heavily.

Highlighting the amount of due diligence Disney performed as it weighed a deal with Twitter, Iger said the company did “look very carefully” at the issue of fake accounts. This was just something that we were not ready to take on, and I was not ready to take on as the CEO of a company, and I thought it would have been irresponsible.” “We’re in the business of manufacturing fun at Disney - of doing nothing but good, even though there are others today that criticize Disney for the opposite, which is wrong. “You have to look, of course, at all the hate speech and potential to do as much harm as good,” Iger said.
