On Friday, Disney movie studio boss Rich Ross stepped down, AP reported.

His resignation comes after a two-year-row over high-budgeted bombs for Disney. Last year it was "Mars Needs Moms," which lost $70 million. This year, it was "John Carter," a sci-fi action movie set on Mars that resulted in a $200 million loss for Disney.

Ross, 50, said in a memo to staff that he no longer believed his role as chairman of Walt Disney Studios was "the right professional fit."

Ross's resignation is effective immediately. Disney did not name a successor.

据美联社报道，迪斯尼电影公司老板里奇·罗斯辞职。

他辞职前，迪斯尼连续两年备受超支赔钱影片的打击。去年，《火星救母记》赔了7000万美元。今年，迪斯尼因火星科幻动作影片《异星战场》损失2亿美元。

50岁的罗斯在发给员工的备忘录中说，他认为他不再“适合担任”华特迪斯尼电影公司主席一职。

罗斯的辞职立即生效。迪斯尼还没决定继任者。
