Yep. Said before, she doesn't need to remember that there ever was another universe, we just need Wade to comment on it.
Zazie should be set <3
For some reason I thought a big reason Disney was doing this was for the regional sports networks. Surprised they are willing to let that go considering how much cash they are dropping into this.
We can blame that on Comcast as well for forcing Disney to raise bid
no, but thankfully it wont help them either
they are not a part of this deal
Serwer: "Here's what Comcast is saying now: 'Come join us and help us overpay dramatically for this asset that won't be approved by the regulators in Washington and fight against Rupert Murdoch and Bob Iger together', does that sound like a compelling offer to you? It's not gonna happen."
SAVAGE.
SAVAGE.
Not really cuz that would be separated from the other Fox assets I believe.
Dont really care about Disney getting xmen anymore. I already got Logan. Dont see mcu ever topping that (or even x2 for their xmen offerings tbh) but they can make xmen movies that are more in line with what a lot of the fans want so good for them
I just hope fox searchlight or Fox's more adult drama offerings aren't cut short by Disney acquiring them
Comcast owning Hulu is even scarier than Disney having it tbh, so the better one won

Iger isn't going to mess with searchlight as long as it keeps on doing what it does best, make compelling adult fare
As a layman, this reads to me like: "we don't know what's going to go down, so lets give it a few more weeks and see what happens".
Well, you know it used to be called 20th Century Picture (before the merger with Fox Film Corporation to become 20th Century-Fox (the hyphen was dropped later)), but did you know the classic fanfare always belonged to 20th Century Pictures? So, if they revert to 20th Century Pictures, it would not be out of place to retain the fanfare!
Now, the question remains: For nostalgic purposes, should Disney use their new studio to co-distribute Star Wars with LucasFilm? I mean Disney owns both, so it would just be a fun nod to the fans.
I still expect Comcast to come back with a counter offer with some impressive additional measures. Something where they offer $41+ per share with a significantly increased regulatory breakup fee, and indication to Fox shareholders that they will divest any assets that the DOJ objects to. They will argue that this puts them only slightly behind Disney with a high level of assurance and a value premium.
I hope I'm wrong as a MCU fan, but I think Comcast has too much pride to give up just yet.

I thought comcast only had 3 days to counter? Thr way i understand it disney will always get a chance to counter because they initiated the deal.so even if comcast bid again disney can always counter so really its a no win situation.
I honestly doubt it. I think I'm getting why it's taking so long for Disney or Fox to bid again for Sky. Basically, Comcast secured a shitload of money and will try to buy something. People saying that will be Sony if 21 CF doesn't works don't get that what is mostly holding Comcast back is that it's already WAY TOO BIG domestically as it is. They want international assets, so basically if Comcast raises its bid for 21CF, it reflects on Sky once again.
They are assessing with tech giants the possibility of them teaming up and getting the domestic assets, tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google. The thing is that all these players know better than that, Fox to them would be an overpriced asset, for Disney it would not, and of course that this goes beyond Marvel and Disney IP, but it'd be naive to think that's not a big factor here. What's more, Comcast is hated AS FUCK as an ISP and a company. Amazon, Apple, Google and etc. even if they screw up, they aren't hated like Comcast is. The "people" want Fox with Disney because of Marvel and make no mistake, that's something that factors here as well when it comes to Comcast finding partners to buy 21CF with. Basically, what I'm saying is that no one wants to be Comcast: neither for paying 21 CF which is overpriced as fuck asset with the likely possiblity of getting denied by the DOJ, neither because Comcast is hated as fuck.
Comcast right now is willing to let the domestic assets and only go for the international ones. I don't see any tech giant partnering with them for that, because like Serwer said on Yahoo Finance, they are baiting for partners without having an actual hook. Iger won, and even CMCSA analysts are coming to terms with that.
They are not getting 21CF OR Sony Pictures, even if they bid again. Neither any of the big studios, for that matter.
Yes, in the Louvre. Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre.
Brian Roberts is probably disgusted that he's probably gonna lose to Disney & Bob Iger. A company you almost acquired in 2004 is the healthier asset now, that gotta hurt his ego for sure.
Fans would go absolutely insane if the 20th Fanfare and Logo appeared before episode 9.
This is why i expect one last bid from Brian probably 90 billion which disney will counter at 95-98. And that will be the end of it. Comcast has been played like a fool. Used to drive up Disneys bid. They never intended to sell to anyone but Disney. They are too far along with Disney to take any comcast bid seriously.
They don't have cash flow for this to happen, I doubt a company would be willing to help when the deal is already approved by the DOJ. Comcast fucked themselves with that debt & Sky bid.
I don't think Matthew is 100% right, mind you. I think he might be on to something when saying that Comcast might get some of the RSNs.
Everyone is talking about X Men in Marvel while I'm just here wondering about Alien and Predator franchises.
It would be far cheaper and truthfully Not that bad of a decision.
They would get the world's largest TV and production company through SPTV (or second - they keep switching with Warner Bros.), and Sony has a decent presence in India that NBCUniversal could use to build out to rival Disney's acquisition of Star.
And then Sony Pictures' content library as well.
No. I think they would be made part of Comcast's NBC-branded regional sports networks (Previously known as Comcast Sports Network). I think they're agnostic when it comes to television providers.
Right now, NBC Sports Regional Networks are featured in SF Bay Area (SF/Oakland), California (statewide), Chicago, Washington, Boston, New York, Northwest (Seattle), and Philadelphia. I think some of the newly acquired networks will cover duplicate cities, but those may feature teams the current NBC networks don't cover.
