The pandemic fundamentally changed how audiences consume media, leading to smaller foot traffic at movie theaters, says former Disney CEO Bob Iger.
"I don't think movies ever return, in terms of moviegoing, to the level that they were at pre-pandemic," the veteran media executive said during a panel at Vox Media's Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California, Wednesday. He noted that consumers became more comfortable with streaming services while in lockdown and grew to enjoy the content on these platforms and the flexibility of being able to choose what to watch and when.Disney"I don't think movies ever return, in terms of moviegoing, to the level that they were at pre-pandemic," the veteran media executive said during a panel at Vox Media's Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California, Wednesday.
