Disney Slates In-Person Upfront Event In May At NYC’s Javits Center, With Jimmy Kimmel Returning For Live Set
24.01.2023 - 22:15 / deadline.com
Disney has scheduled an in-person upfront on May 16 at New York’s Javits Center, joining a growing cohort betting on the upside of wooing advertisers in the flesh.
The annual pitch on behalf of the company’s many linear and streaming platforms is again on the move after the company decamped from its longtime Lincoln Center home after Covid. The event was held last year at Lower Manhattan’s Basketball City.
Disney will hold its event at North Javits Center, a section of New York’s vast convention venue that recently underwent an extensive renovation. Javits fully reopened last year after a revamp costing more than $1.5 billion. TelevisaUnivision last spring hosted its upfront event there.
Many elements of upfront season — for years a fixture on the spring calendar in media circles — have come under scrutiny as network owners take stock and streaming insurgents elbow their way into the mix. YouTube and Netflix have both scheduled events during what had previously been a week of presentations oriented around broadcast TV. Covid forced a dramatic rethink in 2020 and 2021, with companies going fully virtual before venturing back onstage last spring.
The economic backdrop for the pitches to buyers is a turbulent one, with many forecasters calling for continued softness in the advertising business this year after widespread deterioration in 2022. Inflation and high interest rates are constraining consumer appetites and media companies are continuing to grapple with the transition of viewing away from linear TV. Disney last month launched a cheaper, ad-supported subscription tier of its flagship Disney+ service, joining Netflix as the latest major players looking to harvest ad dollars in streaming.

Sundance Review: Susanna Fogel’s ‘Cat Person’ Starring Emilia Jones & Nicholas Braun
Based on one of the most sensational and much-discussed short stories of recent times, which was heralded as the most-read story ever to appear in The New Yorker, Cat Person is a disarmingly creepy film with a disturbing edge that will surely trigger further discussion about contemporary dating and romantic protocols. Years ago, a little film like this would have found a modest but loyal following among young audiences. Now, however, its forthright presentation of the pitfalls of flashing yellow lights where male-female relations are concerned should make this a must-see and a subject of hot discussion at least among teens and young adults.
