Risktaking isn't dead at Disney! It just took until last night's media conference call - the official announcement of Harvey and Bob Weinstein's departure from Miramax - to announce it, and by none other than Harvey (well, now that Bob Iger is holding court):
Let me say that I think at the new Disney, I think that those entrepreneurial efforts will be met with a stronger response. So that’s the irony of this deal. What I think that Bob and I were trying to do was take the Miramax outfit and turn it into a $5 billion asset—as opposed to what I believe is probably a $2 billion asset today.
Billion, schma-gillion.
