- Disney CEO Bob Iger says his company's success had created unrealistic standards.
- "We got to the point where if a film didn't do a billion dollars in global box office, we were disappointed," he said.
- Iger also blamed Disney putting quantity before quality for its box office misses.
Bob Iger defended Disney's performance in an interview at The New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday, saying its past successes had set the bar unrealistically high.
In response to questions about the company's box office misses, the CEO said: "I'm not sure another studio will ever achieve some of the numbers that we achieved."
