Forced into it maybe he's the fall guy for something.

Iger looks like a movie star next to that sloth.

Was there this much hate when Iger took over as CEO?

 

[mightynine]

I'd just like to note how absurd it is that a company built on storytelling and creative is getting a CEO who needs to be trained about how to handle creative.

No.

Was there this much hate when Iger took over as CEO?

He came in at a low point of the company. I believe it was seen as a positive.

 

[Kamikaze]

Was there this much hate when Iger took over as CEO?

No, because of the smear campaign on Eisner. They could have chosen a rotten banana and people would have liked it.

That is neither realistic nor possible in a public company.

Corporate bylaws must be observed in a public company. The new CEO cannot report to the former CEO who just invented a new title not defined.

That works in the Russian “parliament”...not in Burbank or on Wall St

You may want to do some extra research

Man, that’s a lot to come back to...very interesting.

Very weird timing...even on the SSE front. I’m not sure how to feel.

Yep...down 50% from the one 4 years prior...the third least
Popular Star Wars movie of all time in terms of tickets sold.

No films in production.

That’s all “swell”

When asked what Iger would do after stepping down as chairman, he said he was going to use his imagination. JII refurb confirmed.

Not so much because he came from TV but they werent thrilled either. Just a dude in a suit then and kind of the same deal here except we've seen Chapek more because of his "blunders" in the parks
