Quotable

“We maintain that we offer an extraordinary price/value relationship around the world for Disney+. Obviously, the last few years, pretty much the entirety of the launch of Disney+ has been plagued by COVID-related production interruptions plus, in all fairness, our own recognition that we needed to essentially double our production output. You put those two things together and we certainly have less content than we want… that will rectify itself in the second half of this year… one of the goals was to go ahead and ensure that we had a new title every week and we’ve achieved that.

– Disney CEO Bob Chapek talking the flow of content and pricing strategies for Disney+ on the company’s 1Q22 earnings call
