The Walt Disney Company today has a near-monopoly in entertainment, thanks in part to God Eiger. For more than 15 years, Disney CEO Iger has been responsible for buy companies like Lucasfilm and Marvel at near bargain pricesturning them into big business. Today, they are the pillars of Disney+, in addition to their movie success.
But Bob Iger There is a thorn in his professional career that he himself admits: failed to see streaming potential. For a decade, he allowed Netflix to grow without competition, even with Disney’s own films streaming on the competing platform today.
Disney lost 10 years in this marketand it has cost him dearly to be on par with Netflix, which he recently surpassed in terms of subscriber count (a little cheating…).
Just when Mouse Company made its bet on streaming, with the premiere of the Disney+ platform, Bob Iger stepped down from his position in favor of current CEO Bob Chapek..
Despite retiring, Eiger remains one of the most knowledgeable people about the film and television business. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter via HobbyConsolas.com, he recently spoke at an event called the Code Conference and released some gems that the competition won’t like.
During his speech, Iger praised the streaming companies he thinks will be very successful. Disney+, of course, thanks to the Marvel and Star Wars franchises. But also on Netflix, on Stranger Things, on Prime Video with The Boys or Rings of Power, and on Apple TV+ with Ted Lasso or The Separation.
With others, she was not so generous. predicted that mainstream platforms like HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock and even Hulu will disappear.which is owned by Disney.
The reason Bob Iger cites is because maintaining a streaming platform requires a lot of money:”They have something complicated in their hands, and to do this business, you need a lot of capital. I don’t think everyone can do it“.
from now to hbo max he’s doing a great job with The House of the Dragon and will soon release The Last of Us. Also teamed up with Discovery Plusso he will change his name. Paramount+ is going to arrive in Spain as part of SkyShowtime.
Will Bob Iger be right in his predictions?
