Streaming, Box-Office Success Drives Disney's Entertainment Unit -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-02 20:29

0729 ET - Disney's entertainment business--which includes its movie studios, TV division and streaming services--posts higher revenue in its latest quarter, though operating income slipped. The entertainment giant says it benefited from higher subscription fees and subscriber growth across its streaming platforms, as well as holiday hits at the box office. "We delivered strong box office performance in calendar year 2025 with billion-dollar hits like 'Zootopia 2' and 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' franchises that generate value across many of our businesses," CEO Bob Iger says. Operating income fell, though, hurt by higher production, marketing, distribution and technology costs. Disney is up 1.3% premarket. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
