**ITS OFFICIAL** Walt Disney buys 21st Century FOX

[MartyMcFly]

The downside of all this, industry wise

• Cutting down industry competition severely
  
  
• As reported earlier, over 3000 people will be laid off as part of downsizing
  
  
• It'll be even harder for up and coming film-makers to get their projects greenlit
  
  
• Disney will own over 40% of film revenue. Warner Bros. will be the closest competitor with a relatively measly 18% market share
  
  
• Disney will own 30% of media revenue, attaining a stranglehold on broadcast
  
  
• Disney creates proprietary streaming service with Fox/Disney properties. Less competition for other VOD services, like Netflix (which will lose Marvel and Fox films and shows)

what's the point of making movies now if you're not Disney or WB? A24 getting bought out next year

shyt A24 almost got snatched up by MGM this year lol.

Sony & Paramount on the chopping block. Comcast Universal is probably gonna get one of them then then the other AT&T/Time Warner so we'll only have 3 studios left

but this is where things get tricky..

HULU yesterday: Hulu (stylized as hulu) is an American subscription video on demand service owned by Hulu LLC, a joint venture with The Walt Disney Company (through Disney–ABC Television Group) (30%),[8] 21st Century Fox (through Fox Entertainment Group) (30%), Comcast (through NBCUniversal) (30%),[note 1] and as of August 10, 2016, Time Warner (through Turner Broadcasting System) (10%).[2]

HuLU now Hulu (stylized as hulu) is an American subscription video on demand service owned by Hulu LLC, a joint venture with The Walt Disney Company (through Disney–ABC Television Group) (60%),[Comcast (through NBCUniversal) (30%),[note 1] and as of August 10, 2016, Time Warner (through Turner Broadcasting System) (10%).[2]

will they try to buy out Comcast and rebrand HULU as the Disney service? or pull all Disney/fox content

The government would have to get involved if Comcast and Disney tried to merge.

 

[Lefty Gunz]

No more Apes movies ?

This deal also pushes HBO out of the running. Right now HBO gets the first-run TV rights to Fox, Warner, and Universal films.

Don't know when that's up but when it is up, they'll be behind the Disney, Netflix and possibly Hulu.

 

[Duke Dixon]

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this but Fox had the rights to make Dragonball movies.

If Disney can make Goku, and the rest if the Z fighters, come to the big screen right I'll be happy man

They’re still getting involved here. I’m sure it should be fine since they’re not getting all of Fox and since trump called Murdoch this morning to make sure he wasn’t selling Fox News

 

[mson]

Yeah they’re (fox) having a town hall meeting today to discuss. Lot of people going to lose jobs.

Disney and fox merge, republicans want to cut taxes for the rich and are even flirting with allowing the tax cuts for single people and families who aren’t rich to expire, on and the fcc just got rid of net neutrality. Rich just keep fukking the rest of us

We are in for some shyt in the next few years.

 

[MartyMcFly]

We are in for some shyt in the next few years.

Movies to me are like cars and technology.

A lot of movies that people are saying are trash today.... are like a lot of cars that are old compared to the new model.

The 2000 model Jeep Grand Cherokee was dope back in 2000, but the 2017 model is just waaaaaayyy better due to the updates and upgrades now.

If that makes sense

I BADLY want a Sentry movie! But with X-Men and F4 coming the chances have been drastically decreased.

Sentry is NOT a Superman ripoff and nothing like that alien cac. Sick and tired of people saying that retarded shyt. His writers based him off Miracle Man, Captain Atom and Martian Manhunter. And no SS can not shut down his powers and Sentry was wiping the floor with Thor until Sentry asked to die. Plus Sentry punked Thor again in Uncanny Avengers.

Can the Church say Amen

Damn shame when people speak on a character they know nothing about because they read 1 arc in a crossover event. :Ugh5150:
