Part 3/8:
The repercussions are evident across Disney’s portfolio. The company's year-over-year financial reports reveal a stark picture: its worst year in nearly half a century. The box office has seen nearly a billion dollars in losses, with recent blockbuster releases underperforming significantly. Streaming services, notably Disney+, have hemorrhaged billions—approximately $4 billion lost over the past 12 months alone—highlighting the perilous state of Disney’s digital expansion.
Meanwhile, even Disney's flagship theme parks are feeling the strain. Disney World, typically bustling during the summer, recorded one of its slowest seasons in a decade. Visitors' hesitance and economic factors have contributed to declining attendance and revenue, further compounding the company's woes.
