Disney and other companies are reshaping their business strategies in response to the migration of cable TV audiences to streaming platforms. In 2023, Disney cut 7,000 jobs as part of an effort to save $5.5 billion in costs.

In May, Disney reported earnings that exceeded expectations with an unexpected boost from the Disney+ streaming service and strong results from theme parks.
