Walt Disney Co. is overhauling some of the leadership at its troubled movie division, replacing an executive who oversaw a string of disappointments with the head of Searchlight Pictures, the art-house film unit behind such critical successes as ¡°Poor Things.¡±
Sean Bailey, the longtime president of film production for Disney¡¯s namesake studio, is being replaced by David Greenbaum, the company said Monday in a statement.
Greenbaum will take on the new position of president for Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios, according to a statement from the company on Monday. That puts him in charge of some of Disney¡¯s biggest franchises, including Avatar and Planet of the Apes.
