Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecommunications Conference on Monday, Walt Disney Company chief exec Bob Chapek said he’s “not sure there’s going back” to pre-pandemic theatrical windows.
Reiterating the company’s commitment to theatrical releases, Chapek reminded viewers that Disney in 2019 released 11 films that earned at least $1 billion, which “will continue to be a big deal” to the company. But he acknowledged the uncertainty that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic brings, given how few screens are currently open and moviegoers’ willingness to return to theaters. Those possible changes to consumer behavior are “more profound” to him.

As more consumers get their movies, dramas, comedies and even live sports and news from video delivered by broadband, big media companies are rushing to follow them — and help advertisers do the same. Walt Disney Co. has unveiled a suite of new products that lets sponsors buy across TV and digital with more ease and also place their commercials with greater precision.
“This year is the year of the streaming wars,” says Lisa Valentino, executive vice president of client solutions and addressable enablement for Disney Ad Sales, in an interview. “We expect the volume against our streaming supply will only continue to grow.” The company believes that over the next five years, most of its business across linear and digital will be automated, conducted in what is known in the industry in “programmatic” fashion, and is working to give clients what they want in advance of the annual sales session known as the upfront, when U.S. TV companies try to sell the bulk of their commercial inventory ahead of their next programming cycle.

SPOILER ALERT:
Do not read this story unless you’ve seen Season 1, Episode 8 of Disney Plus’ “WandaVision.”
After eight episodes, six distinct television eras, and apparently two rival Visions, Marvel Studios’ “WandaVision” first — and possibly only — season is coming to a close this Friday on Disney Plus. But we still have
so many questions that this twist-strewn superhero TV show has yet to answer. With just one episode left — and so much to settle in the saga of how Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) grieved the loss of Vision (Paul Bettany) by creating a sitcom reality in the sleepy New Jersey city of Westview — let’s look at the biggest dangling plot strands audiences are eager to see resolved.
