Disney Studios drama might alter the industry
Chairman Rich Ross has begun restructuring operations and set in motion a plan that could pit the film unit against business partners.
If you thought President Obama moved quickly, that's nothing compared with the first 50 days of the Ross administration.
In less than eight weeks, Rich Ross has swiftly stamped his imprimatur on Walt Disney Studios. The novice movie chairman and his boss, Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Iger, want to create a new business model for Hollywood to address the sweeping changes that are roiling the entertainment industry, including slumping DVD sales and the growing role the Internet plays in movie marketing.
Seeking to recast the studio for the digital era, Ross and Iger have set in motion a plan to dramatically challenge entrenched practices, potentially pitting Disney against theater owners, retailers and other business partners. The gambit, if it works, could be emulated by other studios.
If it backfires, it could undermine what has historically been the creative heart of Disney.
