Disney Today: Avengers Makes Disney Invincible in 2019. Then What? (Bloomberg Opinion)
Disney CEO Bob Iger “has transformed Disney through his acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and BAMTech over his tenure, during which shares of Disney have returned 608 percent, far exceeding the S&P 500 index’s total return,” Bloomberg Opinion’s Tara Lachapelle writes.

Avengers earned $1.2 billion over a weekend! Disney now has nine of the top 10 highest grossing movies of all time, with the forthcoming Lion King (featuring Beyonce as the voice of Nala) in July and the final installment of the Star War saga at the end of this year. This continues a long run of success for Disney under Iger. Few recall that when Steve Jobs died in 2011, his Disney stock was worth five times his Apple stock.

Maybe investors should focus less on Bob Iger’s pay, and more on extending his contract.

Best of late night.

On the opening weekend of the Avengers: Endgame:

“It’s a 182-minute epic, wrapping up 21 movies telling one massive story. There’s been ups and downs, rivalries and infighting, but the heroes put their differences aside to fight the true villain. Do you hear that, Democrats? Go nuts for the primaries, then just shut up and win.”
— Stephen Colbert

“What a weekend! We had ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in theaters, we had the Battle of Winterfell on Game of Thrones. It was the first time kids had to tell their parents: ‘Okay, that’s enough screen time!’”
— Jimmy Fallon

“I saw that the CIA just launched their own account on Instagram. Sounds cool until you get a notification saying ‘the CIA is now following you’.”
— Jimmy Fallon
