Disney and Fox have been combined. But creating a behemoth is harder than it looks.

Disney distribution chief Cathleen Taff shows off characters from Disney and Fox movies during the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures presentation at CinemaCon 2019 at Caesars Palace on April 3 in Las Vegas. The question of combining Fox and Disney film operations remains a thorny one. By Steven Zeitchik Steven Zeitchik Reporter covering the business of entertainment in the U.S.

“We’ve stood as competitors on this stage for many years,” Watts said, taking the podium just a few minutes after Horn to present her side of the slate. “So it’s a bit of a shock to be here as colleagues.” At a large casino-set venue, Disney spotlighted some of its biggest coming bets, offering on-screen teasers to films that will soon take in billions of dollars worldwide to the very theater owners key to that effort. There was a fresh all-hands planning session from the “Avengers: Endgame” team and a lively musical number from Will Smith in the live-action “Aladdin,” a quiet bonding moment for Simba and Mufasa in “The Lion King” and a full 17 minutes of new footage from “Toy Story 4.

Among the biggest Dumbos in the room was the matter of Elizabeth Gabler and her Fox 2000 banner. The label made some of most high-upside movies at Fox, mid-budget dramas and comedies that when they broke out, broke out big. Snider was not in evidence Wednesday, having transitioned out of the company several months ago. But some of her successes, notably “Bohemian Rhapsody,” were championed by Disney as among their prized releases of 2018, a display of the Hollywood axiom that if you buy it, you made it.
