Media networks, including ABC, are a big part of Disney's business, accounting for 43 percent of total revenue in fiscal 2014 and 56 percent of operating profits. Major acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm have dramatically broadened the available content for Disney to use, and excitement is building over new installments in the Star Wars realm as well as other established franchise themes. Disney's theme parks are posting record attendance (134 million people worldwide last year) and have long-overdue upgrades and expansions in progress.
