The Disney CEO also confirmed this summer's release date for the highly anticipated live-action Mulan
Bob Chapek on Monday gave his first solo television interview since being named CEO of The Walt Disney Co. in February. , the exec noted that tickets for Shanghai Disneyland Park were sold out for the rest of the week. The park"We’re very encouraged by what we see in Shanghai," Chapek said. As of now, the capacity for the park is 27,000, which is a government stipulation.
The Disney CEO said it was still unclear when the domestic parks would reopen, as the decision would rely on state and local restrictions being lifted: "We want to open up as soon as we can across the world, but we are going to do so in a responsible way. We want to get our cast back to work as soon as possible.
Just as with the theme parks, Chapek said he believes there is a lot of "pent-up demand" for theatrical releases and confirmed thatwill be released in theaters July 24. "It really only becomes an issue on Friday night and Saturday night and to a lesser extent on Sunday night," he said of limiting capacity at screenings. "In that particular case, I think that can be managed. I think it will be up to our exhibitors who we partner with.
