Dispute over Disney movie rights in Brazil
The movement of Disney's Brazilian premium movie window toward Telecine produced a public disagreement over why the prior arrangement ended. HBO associated the change with making room for Brazilian productions, while statements from Disney and competing commentary emphasized commercial performance, audience reach and profitability. Public claims also differed over the relative share of major premieres carried by the two services.
