What is Bob Chapek's biggest mistake?
Bitch, Moan in despair but the fact the Board would rather keep Chapek on instead begin a search for a replacement speaks volume.
1. Disney exceeded streaming subscribers on its media platforms.
2. Revenue per domestic subscriber was up by 5%.
3. Parks, Experiences, Products increased revenues to $6.7B, double over the prior year.
4. Earnings per share up $1.08, well over $0.79 for the same quarter last year.
5. Bob Iger went on a spending spree acquiring licenses and rights to a lot of different product which has dragged down earnings. Chapek has to manage disparate products and try to weave them into the Disney Family.
How can anyone, who cares about Disney's history or future, like Chapek??!! He ONLY cares about milking every single penny out of today's visitors. It's revolting and Walt would despise what he is doing. Look at the monumental 50th Anniversary. Every single celebration other than merchandise was dropped. Heck at the opening ceremony, where thousands showed up, there wasn't even a nod to Walt, Disney History or anything to do w/the rope drop. A humiliation IMHO!!! I can't fathom how they renewed Chapek, other than those on the board don't care about Disney & only care what they are earning.
I really disliked iger as ceo. He had a long list of mistakes which I don’t care to rank
I think it was just as much Iger wanting to do the fun stuff at the end of his run as it was him not wanting to go out as the CEO who had to shut everything down and cut a bunch of people and stuff because of COVID. Can’t say I blame him. Iger’s not stupid; when you work at an international level a pandemic like that isn’t something that surprises you- he saw it coming on the horizon and ran.
The only thing I can say is that Chapek’s awfulness isn’t because of COVID in any way, he’s always been a cost cutter and corner cutter through his whole career at Disney.
I totally agreed! Bob Chapek has to go! He's referring as one of Worst CEO in Walt Disney history of modern era.
He has to go or else this company and legacy will be lost especially centennial celebration of Disney 100 years
Poor Walt's rolling in his block of frozen ice right now.
I would think Iger's biggest mistake is keeping Kathleen Kennedy around. She has made such a mess of Lucas Film no one else even wants to touch it. She is now essentially a puppet or placeholder in her position with no real power because of all the bad decisions she has made.
I don’t understand why Disney World doesn’t convert the Mansion into TNBC.
Allison does a great job as host! Man, I do LOVE Tom. But if it isn't Tom, Allison is the go-to for this show. Great job hosting!
Great job Allison!
With how unhappy Disney fans are and the board unanimously renews Chapek tells you all you need to know about how much Disney cares about our opinions!
Very difficult to get through this given the host. Stumbling over words and just zero personality or interest. Maybe she was nervous or something, but not the best content you’ve ever put out by a long shot (sorry!!)
you get what you pay for. dont like the cost to go to Dl then try Knotts berry farm. ghetto prices for the ghetto experience. disney is the best and again you get what you pay for.
Iger will always be the political coward who abruptly resigned in February 2020 when he saw the pandemic and didn’t want to have it stain his reputation. A worm, through and through.
Successful launch of Genie+?! It's a disaster! We spend money, and unless you get lucky, you don't get much for the money! And as for chapek, he's the biggest bean counter I've really ever seen. Stock holders and chapek-1, Disney park goers- 0.
Disney no longer feels like a "family friendly" business, but more like a GREEDY WOKE LEFT WING MESS
I am so irritated that Chapek had his contract extended. He is RUINING the brand. Walt is turning over in his grave!! 😠
People should just boycott Paris, that park is just a mess. Ill never go back, its in the wrong place..
I feel sad that Tom didn’t get the chance to deliver this news. I bet the look on his face (and his commentary) would have been *priceless*.
Iger quit with NO NOTICE 2 weeks before Covid shut everything down. He was probably the worst Disney CEO ever.
Iger……It’s your kid….you raised him.
We miss the family friendly Disney of the past….and have given up our passes.
He''s probably right. The company has been downhill since Iger left.
How do you say with an insider "Familiar with his thinking" that has zero basis of fact
Eisner sounds like a good option right now.
Allison is just adorable
Ha !!
Iger is the one who led to the collapse of Disney !!! What a Moron !!
Chapek is the world’s biggest mistake.
One of the great things I’ve learned in the last few years is to ignore stories like this that only seem to involve anonymous insiders and “people familiar with his thinking.”
I have no interest in defending Bob Chapek. This story has some red flags for being fake though
Well done Bob Iger.
Let's face it, there is plenty of people responsible and plenty of blame to go around to put it on just one person…..the failure is strong with these people. Having Darth Kennedy in charge of Lucasfilm didn't help either.
My opinion on Chapek is still out. Rumors are Iger ushered in all the left wing activism we're currently seeing, and Chapek may be trying to slowly reverse course. That's why all the pushback. This is just another piece maybe confirming that. Time will tell. Fingers crossed!
When Chapek eventually goes, I want to see the free and complimentary perks back! Chapek has completely ruined the parks and Walt's dream. If they won't bring FastPass+ back, then the very least they can do is make this shitty Genie+/Lightning Lane thing free again, and also get rid of this new ridiculous park pass reservation system!
Great job Alison!
I just spent 3 days in the parks there is an unfamiliar feeling that doesn't quite make sense. this is making the parks feel like the Magic is not there. Even with all that walking it was fun now people are just miserable fights breaking out people being rude cast members not happy
Indeed!
Wow somebody finally acknowledges Chapek is an asshole.
No. Your biggest mistake was hiring a bunch of woke with an agenda and putting them in charge.
Go woke go broke. Guess what? You win!
Only failure in disney is Chapek.. Who do you know has been booed off a d23 stage ? Well, you guessed it .. It was the trash himself. CHAPEK
I'm assuming Midnight's Edge's reporting on Chapek allegedy trying to de-politicize Disney is BS?
CHAPEK Worst CHUMP ever. Could care less about anyone but his paycheck all the while destroying the very essence of Disney. Crash, Thunk, Caboom, in RUINs…THE END. Kick him out!!! Period.
Hard to disagree with Iger
Hmmm, no… that would be over paying for FOX and Lucasfilm.
