In sync: Here's how Universal's film and theme parks divisions work together
It turns out Comcast Corp.-owned NBCUniversal's film and TV folks and its Universal Parks & Resorts division haven't always been in sync with each other when it comes to developing new rides for its theme parks such as Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure in Orlando. "When we bought the company, there was not much dialogue between the theme park division and the film division, which is kind of shocking," said Jeff Shell, chairman of Universal's Filmed Entertainment Group, during a Bank of America Merrill Lynch Investor Conference in September. There is probably a longer lead time in making a theme park attraction." Shell went on to say the two divisions now work together more often on major projects and how they can translate into more opportunities for both films and theme parks.
