Bob said that the audience wants great films and if you build great films, they’ll sell, citing Oppenheimer as a perfect example, calling it a brilliant film. He went on explain the steps that Disney has taken to ensure that the studio comes out of its tough phase, one of which was reducing the number of projects the studio works at a moment, giving them more time and a relaxed atmosphere to make sure that instead of 10 average products they’re able to make 5 brilliant ones.
The Disney CEO also mentioned that he takes great pride in the amount of potential Marvel Cinematic Universe holds and accepted that it is not exaggeration calling them years ahead of all their competitors.
