Walt Disney CEO sounds the alarm on streaming, ESPN

The television and film world has become a series of challenges for any company trying to keep up with the rapid changes.

Walt Disney (DIS) has to face the massive decline in the movie business, the slow death of cable television, and the challenge of making money through streaming. The Mouse House has properties people want to see, but it faces major issues in how to deliver content in a way that best monetizes it for the company.

The company had the top-three movies of 2024, but that's the biggest slice of a shrinking pie. Consumers will, it seems, come out to theaters for massive event films, but that bar has moved much higher.

It used to be that any film with an Avenger in it or carrying the Star Wars, or Pixar names was worth $1 billion at the box office. That has clearly changed as only "Inside Out 2," "Moana 2," and "Deadpool & Wolverine" topped that number, while a number of releases outright failed.
