Anyway, Disney CEO Bob Iger has been speaking pretty openly about the Disney-Fox acquisition. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Iger discussed the status of the Fox assets before the deal was sealed, even saying that Fox’s movies simply weren’t doing well at the box office. However, Iger said that he only saw this as a short-term problem. This comment of his seems to slightly contradict what he said a couple of months ago, where he pretty much threw Fox under the bus while discussing Disney’s quarterly earnings. “the Fox studio performance … was well below where it had been and well below where we hoped it would be when we made the acquisition,” Iger said.
