Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger discussed the company’s underwhelming box office run, refusing to say “sorry” for a recent run of sequel disappointments.
“I think I don’t want to apologize for making sequels,” Iger stated during a Q&A at the New York Times’ DealBook conference. “Some of them have done extraordinarily well. And they’ve been good films too. I think there has to be a reason to make it, beyond commerce. You have to have a good story. And we have made too many. That doesn’t mean we’re not going to continue to make them.”
The comments came amid a generally disappointing year for the studio, with lower-than-hoped grosses for the likes of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “The Marvels” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”
