Bob Iger's second stint focused on three priorities: restoring streaming to profitability (achieved — Disney+ turned a ~$1 billion operating profit in the most recent fiscal year after roughly $13 billion in cumulative losses), managing ESPN's decline while preserving its cash flow (separating it into its own segment in October 2023 and doing an NFL deal that gave the league 10% of ESPN), and doubling down on physical parks as the company's most durable competitive moat. [1] — Ben Gilbert "Parks = 60% of Disney operating income today: Disney Parks and Experiences now generate approximately 60% of the company's operating income…" 3:58:05 The $60 billion parks and cruises investment over the next decade — with $30 billion earmarked for domestic parks — reflects a clear-eyed view that the old structural advantages (cable, home video, theatrical) have eroded and parks represent the most defensible, least-algorithmically-disruptable extension of the Disney brand and flywheel. The company's most recent financials show $94 billion in revenue and $13 billion in net income, with Parks and Experiences generating $10 billion in operating income (60% of the total) versus Sports (ESPN) at $3 billion (16%) and Entertainment at $4.7 billion (the rest). [2] — Ben Gilbert "Theatrical revenue = just 3% of Disney total: Disney's theatrical distribution segment — movies in cinemas — now generates only $2.6 billio…" 3:58:36 Theatrical distribution — the business most people think of as core Disney — generates $2.6 billion, just 3% of total revenue. Josh D'Amaro, head of parks, was named CEO in early 2026; Bob Iger would stay on as a senior advisor through year-end.
Disney incurred approximately $13 billion in cumulative losses building out Disney+, but the streaming segment is now profitable at roughly $1 billion per year.
Parks and Experiences now generate $10 billion in operating income — nearly 60% of the entire company — while ESPN has declined to 16%. Disney is investing $60 billion in parks and cruises over the next decade. The thesis: cable profits are gone, box office is gone, streaming isn't as profitable. The only business that compounds like the old flywheel did is physical experiences where Disney's brand and characters create irreplaceable magic.
Disney Parks and Experiences now generate approximately 60% of the company's operating income — nearly $10 billion — a total reversal from ESPN's dominance a decade ago.
