Disney was wrong. That’s what a jury decided today finally ending a years long $250 million “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” lawsuit brought against Disney by the show’s creator, Celador International.
The jury found that Celador was wronged by a string of slippery inside deals by Disney, ABC, Buena Vista Television and Valleycrest Productions that left the “Millionaire” creators short hundreds of millions in expected revenues when the hit show came to America in 1999.
Immediately, the Walt Disney Company issued this statement: “We believe this verdict is fundamentally wrong and will aggressively seek to have it reversed.”
