Disney's Experiences unit, which is the home of its theme parks and cruises, has helped boost its other businesses, including its streaming platforms and its film and TV studios. And those areas, at Disney and at its rivals, have an array of issues that they're facing, like declining cable TV and underperformance at the box office.

These production cuts and changes in its operations are expected to affect about 2,000 jobs and save the company some $300 million a year.

$10 billion worth of good news, you might say. Because during the announcement... Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said a British airline would buy $10 billion worth of Boeing planes.
