Overhaul at Disney Studios Picks Up Speed
The reorganization under way at the Walt Disney Studios accelerated on Wednesday with the promotion of several lieutenants and the jettisoning of over a dozen midlevel marketing, distribution and operations officials. The move comes after the dismissal of three top executives at the studio within the last two months: Dick Cook, the former chairman; Daniel Battsek, the president of Miramax Films; and, on Monday, Mark Zoradi, president of the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group.
