Activist investor Nelson Peltz, reflecting on his losing proxy battle with Disney, says he will “watch and wait” to see if the company keeps its promises.
If it doesn’t, he told CNBC in an interview Thursday, “you’ll see me again.”
Asked by host Jim Cramer if reports were true that his firm, Trian Fund Management, had made $300 million on its Disney investment, Peltz called that figure “dramatically wrong.” When Cramer wondered if the gains were actually in the $1 billion range, Peltz replied, “that sounds more like it.”
The wavering performance of Disney’s stock performance, which brought it to multi-year lows last year, was one of the main complaints of Trian, along with the company’s approach to succession, streaming and film production. Since the proxy effort began, shares have rebounded strongly, climbing more than 35% in 2024 to date.

Tori Spelling is finally getting around to divorcing Dean McDermott. The Beverly Hills 90210 alum’s marital woes have been well publicized, and the last year has been especially turbulent, so the decision is no big surprise. What Spelling is asking for in the filing, however, is a bit curious.
Tori Spelling has officially filed for divorce
2023 was a tumultuous year for Tori Spelling, but it looks like she’s hoping to put some of her bigger issues to rest in 2024. The famed actor has officially filed for divorce from her husband of 17 years, Dean McDermott. On March 29, TMZ obtained legal paperwork filed by Spelling. In the filing, Spelling asked the court to grant her a divorce due to irreconcilable differences.

The Justice Department released a 575-page report last month detailing law-enforcement failures that exacerbated the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The document identifies groups that were first to respond to the shooting, with one glaring omission: a citizen militia called Patriots for America.
Shortly after the gunman was killed on May 24, 2022, members of the Texas-based militia posted footage approximately 40 feet from the shooter’s truck — revealing a loaded semi-automatic rifle that investigators had not yet recovered — and 50 feet from an incident command center.

John Oliver is taking on CNBC’s Jim Cramer, again.
Fresh from signing a new three-year deal with HBO, as revealed by Deadline last week, the Last Week Tonight host dinged the Mad Money host in a segment on trains.
Oliver was discussing Hunter Harrison, the train exec responsible for introducing precision scheduled railroading.
“You know a person is pretty awesome if they get a ringing sound effect-laden endorsements on an esteemed show like Big Bucks Word Puke with Captain Money Clown,” he joked.
It is his latest turn roasting former hedge fund manager Cramer. In July 2022, he took on Cramer for not ringing the bell early enough on inflation and early this year he mocked him for his take on crypto.
Oliver also reminded viewers of the dark tone of the Ringo Starr-narrated “sadistic” kids TV series Thomas The Tank Engine a few times during the episode.

Republicans know their draconic stance on abortion rights is a losing issue with voters, so much so that it looks like they’re exploring a full PR rebrand of their anti-abortion vocabulary. According to a report from NBC News, GOP strategists and lawmakers have found that the term “pro-life” is generally associated with the hard-line restrictions on abortion access they’ve pushed for decades. So they’re brainstorming new terms to help soften the public’s perception of their efforts to criminalize reproductive freedom.

There's something to be said for a reliable craftsman like "Fast X" helmer Louis Leterrier. Few would try and seriously argue that the director of "Transporter 2," "The Incredible Hulk," and "Now You See Me" is secretly a visionary, but there's absolutely a consistency in quality to his work regardless of genre or budget. It's what also allowed Leterrier to quietly go from helming every episode of the virtuoso puppet fantasy series "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" to establishing the template for the deft and quick-footed crime caper "Lupin" in the span of but two years.
Even with a plethora of experience under his belt, "Fast X" is easily the biggest challenge Leterrier has ever taken on ... as one would hope given its reported $340 million (!) budget. On top of that, it's a job that he stumbled into under pretty bizarre circumstances. As you may recall, he took over from...

In a move toward more planet-friendly movies, Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (Ufeg) has announced today that it is launching a new initiative called the GreenerLight Program (a play on the term given for when movies are given a go at a studio).
The new plan is designed to embed sustainable practices and eco-conscious forethought across the entirety of the filmmaking process, starting from script development and on to production (including location decisions) and distribution. The studio also said the program will encompass looking at depictions of on-screen behaviors from an environmentally friendly angle. (Similar moves have been made by such directors as Kat Coiro, who has worked in partnership with the nonprofit Habits of Waste to show characters using reusable containers instead of single-use plastics onscreen.)
Going forward, every film that is greenlit at the studio will include a sustainability plan, which Universal claims is unique among studios.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last month gave Tucker Carlson exclusive access to tens of thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The Fox News host cherry-picked clips as part of an effort to cast the rioters as “orderly and meek” sightseers, as he put it Monday night. McCarthy and Carlson’s shameless campaign to rewrite history has since been criticized throughout Congress, including by several prominent Republicans.

Activist investor Nelson Peltz said Thursday morning that he’s ending his proxy fight against Disney after CEO Bob Iger announced sweeping restructuring and cost-cutting plans yesterday alongside the company’s latest quarterly earnings.
Peltz had amassed a stake of about 1 billion worth of stock and was seeking a seat on Disney’s board at the annual meeting in early April, lobbying heavily in recent weeks to get shareholders’ vote in opposition to the company, which was already running a full slate of directors. He set up a dedicate website, Restore the Magic, that detailed what he saw as the company’s failings. But a string of announcements from Iger yesterday, from slashing billions of dollars in costs to restoring the dividend and creating a new corporate structure all boosted Disney stock and neutralized Peltz, addressing many of his concerns.

Many Disney employees woke up this morning trying to make sense of a surreal Sunday night that some say felt like a dream.
The Hollywood spectacle couldn’t have been scripted any better. As top Disney executives were filing into the Dodger Stadium hospitality tent for Elton John’s final North American concert, which streamed live on Disney+, news broke of Bob Iger replacing Bob Chapek as Disney CEO. The jaw-dropping move sent Disney shares soaring and industry tongues wagging, but it also raises some thorny questions for the media giant despite the familiar hand taking the controls.
Chapek was expected to be at the Elton John concert, sources said, but canceled his appearance by midday Sunday. His top lieutenant, Kareem Daniel, Chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, went to the stadium but left before the concert started as people around him were reacting to the bombshell announcement, we hear.

Disney’s Q4 earnings report saw the company take some major wins (like 12.1 million subscribers new to Disney+) but also some major losses — including a 1.5 billion loss of Dtc, a revenue total (20.15 billion with earnings of 37 cents per share) that fell short of Wall Street’s projections, and shares that fell 7, the lowest in two years. In the wake of those earnings, CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer has a fairly radical suggestion for the corporation — get rid of CEO Bob Chapek.
“Disney, they have ESPN. If we were on ESPN, we would say he’s got to be fired. That’s pretty cut and dry,” Cramer said on CNBC’s business news program “Squawk Box” Wednesday morning. “The losses here are just mind-boggling. When you’re going over the quarter, it’s stunning.”
Cramer joined “Squawk Box” to discuss Disney’s earnings, Meta, and the election with the program’s co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Jim Cramer has crowed Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk as the future King of California.
Cramer, speaking Thursday on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street,” made the proclamation in light of the Golden State’s pending ban in 2035 on gas-powered vehicles — and the electric car company’s streak of dominance.
“It’s going to be a state of Teslas unless Jim Farley can get that F-150 Lighting out,” Cramer said, referring to Ford’s CEO, in the segment you can watch at the top of this post. “He thinks he can do 600,000 run rate by the end of next year.”
But Cramer then reverted back to the main point, perhaps given the fact parking a large pick-up truck is no easy task in many parts of California.
