Part 2/8:
Iger's pledge to fix Disney did not materialize into positive results. The company suffered losses exceeding one billion dollars at the box office alone. This figure does not account for additional financial setbacks, including over a billion dollars lost on the streaming platform Dreaming, struggles faced by the theme parks, and various legal and PR disasters that further tarnished Disney's reputation.
The turbulent year was characterized by a series of failures across Disney’s various divisions, raising concern over the company's overall health and strategic direction. The hope that Iger's leadership would restore Disney’s Luster seems increasingly unlikely as the year drew to a close.
