Part 5/7:
Despite Iger’s claims of implementing strict quality controls—such as personally reviewing films multiple times, fostering excellence, and carefully selecting directors—the results have been disappointing overall. The recent line-up of Disney films has been lackluster, with many critical and commercial failures. The phrase "kill projects you no longer believe in" indicates a recognition that certain productions need to be scrapped; however, the lack of transparency on which projects were cut further fuels skepticism.
The significant decline in Disney’s box office performance over the past year underscores these challenges. Only one Disney movie last year barely broke even, highlighting a dire need for a strategic overhaul.
