Movie industry experts expect a weak box office in 2024.
And yet, the boards of major studios decided to reward their CEOs handsomely, according to Variety.
The domestic box office collected roughly $8.6 billion in 2023 (COVID-19-era 2021-2022 saw a combined total of $12 billion). It was a year marked by mass layoffs and two massive Hollywood strikes, which AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) CEO Adam Aron called “a double whammy.”
But, as director Kevin Smith once said, "In Hollywood, you just kind of fail upwards." Read on for who failed the best.
Iger, 73, made $31.6 million in 2023. That’s a 110.7% spike from 2022.
Variety pointed out the median employee compensation at Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) is $54,010.
If the salary bump doesn’t make you throw a Donald Duck-like tantrum, consider the year Iger had:
Positives: Disney revenues for 2023 grew 7% compared to the prior year.
Zaslav, 64, received over $49 million in 2023 — a 26.5% jump from 2022.
The median employee compensation at Warner Bros. Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:WBD) is $171,163.
Positives: Warner Bros. managed to exceed cash flow projections by $1 billion in 2023, primarily due to cost-saving measures. And Zaslav, who says pay should align with stock performance, did manage to pay down $6.6 billion in debt accrued from the 2022 merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery. Debt currently stands at $41.9 billion.
