Part 7/12:
Bob Iger, who recently signed a $27 million annual contract, voiced concerns over the disruption caused by the strikes, calling it "disturbing" especially amid ongoing industry challenges post-COVID. He emphasized that studios negotiated good deals with the Directors Guild but found the demands of writers and actors "not realistic," particularly regarding AI compensation. Iger’s statements reflect a tension between industry sustainability and labor demands, framing the dispute as an imbalance of expectations.
