Should Disney shareholders sue over F911?
It seems they have failed in their fiduciary duties to
maximize shareholder profits.

I think they may be open for a class action lawsuit,
they walked away from a huge money maker it seems.

Possible?

1. I hope Roy Disney uses it as another example of Eisner's crappy ..
...leadership at the helm...that and the Pixar decision are two nails for his coffin...

3. I Don't think they can sue him...
...they "hired" him to look over their interests. If they don't like his decision making process then they fire him.

4. There Has been a big Shareholder Effort to Dump Eisner
With Eisner directly responsible for Disney NOT profiting from what
looks like the biggest hit movie of the year (even though Disney
provided the funding initially) AND taking the PR hit of being
perceived as attempting to kill it, risking a boycott...

I think the effort to remove Eisner will pick up steam.

5. How much did the movie cost to make?
Marketing hasn't been a lot. Mostly word of mouth. No actors paid (I don't think), he might have had to pay for someone else's footage, but I'm under the impression most was given to him. This movie really has the chance to be the most profitable ever. If it makes $100 million but only cost $5million to make and market...

6. I like the way you think.
Civil action is a great response to these corporate shenanigans.
