Disney is cutting several hundred more jobs across its global operations, targeting departments like film, TV, and finance, as it continues to streamline costs in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
Disney has announced another round of layoffs, affecting several hundred employees worldwide, as part of ongoing efforts to reduce costs and adapt to shifting industry dynamics. The job cuts will hit departments including film and TV marketing, corporate finance, casting, and development.
The move follows last year’s sweeping layoff of approximately 7,000 employees, initiated under CEO Bob Iger’s plan to save $5.5 billion.
With traditional cable TV subscriptions in decline, Disney is under pressure to prioritize its streaming services. Despite the layoffs, the company reported strong earnings in May.
Recent film releases have had mixed outcomes. While Snow White underperformed at the box office due to poor reviews, Lilo & Stitch became a major hit, grossing over $610 million globally since its May debut.
