A former Disney exec says peak TV is over, and there's only so much AI can do to help

A former Disney executive said TV's golden era has passed, and even AI can't help it now. Kevin Mayer, who spent more than 14 years in leadership roles at Disney, spoke on Yahoo Finance's "Opening Bid" podcast on Friday about how television is past its peak. Mayer, who is the co-CEO and founder of Candle Media,served as the CEO of TikTok for a few months in 2020. "Content's squeezed right now, and it takes a lot of money to create great content. If you're doing traditional film and TV-length content at a high production value, it's expensive, it's getting more expensive," he told Brian Sozzi, the podcast host. "AI might be helpful there a little bit, because AI is a tool that can help increase efficiencies in creating video and storylines and everything else," he said. However, he also said there's a limit to how much AI can help the industry. "You can't really depend on AI too much," he said. "But as a tool for creative executives and creative people, I think it may it'll actually help with the efficiency, but content's squeezed." Mayer said TV peaked three to four years ago, and "there's no longer the revenue base to afford as much content as once was the case." "This is not enough money to cover that anymore, so content is definitely coming down," Mayer said. In his 14 years at Disney, Mayer was involved in the acquisitions of Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, and 21st Century Fox. As the chair of Disney's direct-to-consumer and international division, he led a team that launched Disney's streaming service, Disney+, in 2019. The use of AI in film and content production is a contentious issue. In 2023, more than 11,000 Hollywood film and TV screenwriters went on strike to protest the use of AI in their industry and demand more regulation. Mayer's comments come at a difficult time for the US media industry. Traditional TV companies have for years been grappling with the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+, which have rendered once-essential cable TV networks obsolete. Comcast, the American mass media, telecommunications, and entertainment megaconglomerate that owns MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, and other cable TV networks, said in November that it would spin off almost all of its TV networks into a separate company.

Bay Area's Pixar suffers worst box office opening in 39 years with ‘Elio'

Pixar suffered the worst opening weekend in its history with 'Elio,' the Emeryville studio's latest original animated feature, which pulled in just $21 million in North America and $14 million overseas for a global total of $35 million. The numbers fall well below expectations and mark a troubling low for the Bay Area animation giant behind 'Toy Story,' 'Finding Nemo' and 'Inside Out.' 'Elio' now holds the record for Pixar's weakest debut, dropping below 2023's 'Elemental,' which opened to $44.5 million worldwide. Despite strong word-of-mouth and an 'A' CinemaScore, 'Elio' failed to draw a crowd in a crowded market. Disney, Pixar's parent company, had hoped the film would at least match 'Elemental's' opening. Internal projections were lowered late last week as interest waned. The wobbly launch comes just a year after Pixar scored one of its biggest hits with 'Inside Out 2,' which became the top-grossing animated film of all time, earning $1.7 billion globally. 'Elio,' which cost an estimated $250 million to produce and market, was outpaced by Universal's 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which remained No. 1 at the domestic box office with $37 million in its second weekend. Sony's '28 Years Later' followed with $30 million domestically and another $30 million internationally. Pixar and Disney are banking on long-term momentum to salvage the release. 'Elemental,' despite a soft opening, eventually grossed nearly $500 million. 'Elio' will need a similar rebound — and fast — to avoid becoming one of the studio's most expensive misfires.

'Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything' Monday on Hulu: The Boston native and legendary interviewer known for her ability to make grown men cry becomes the subject of Jackie Jesko's extensive, intimate documentary. The late newswoman and television personality was so famous as to have been impersonated by 'SNL''s Gilda Radner as the character Baba Wawa. But she was not above pitching hardball questions at every sitting president from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama, as well as Donald Trump and Joe Biden before each became president. In 2009, when asked how it felt to be the subject of an interview rather than the other way around, Walters responded, 'I like it better the other way.'

When Williams returns home to Chicago, she can't catch a break. Dark forces challenge her to take up her superhero suit, which is inspired by Ironman/Tony Stark, and fight for good against a technological menace.

Sergeant Olivia Benson, holsters her gun and steps behind the camera to direct her first documentary, which premiered last month at the Cannes Film Festival. The subject? Her bombshell movie star mother, Jayne Mansfield, who died at 34 in a horrific 1967 car accident when her daughter was only 3 (and sitting in the backseat). Probing and emotional, Hargitay embarks on a journey to discover who her mother was as a public persona and as a private woman, wife, and mother. Secrets will be revealed. Tears will flow. 'Smoke' Friday on Apple TV+: Dorchester native, screenwriter, and best-selling author ' Season 3 ,' Saturday on Netflix: After two seasons, the breakout Emmy-winning South Korean scripted K-drama returns six months after the sequel concluded on Christmas Eve 2024.

With a traitor among them, the competitors struggle to outsmart the cruel game that preys on their bodies, minds, and morals. Emmy-winner Lee Jung-jae returns as hero Seong Ji-hun.
