ORLANDO: Walt Disney Co is overhauling some of the leadership at its troubled movie division, replacing an executive who oversaw a string of disappointments with the head of Searchlight Pictures, the art-house film unit behind such critical successes as Poor Things.

Sean Bailey, the longtime president of film production for Disney’s namesake studio, is being replaced by David Greenbaum, the company said on Monday in a statement.
