Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Disney couldn't screw up Star Trek more than Paramount/CBS has, so I say give them a crack at it.

I think we're a way off from Disney owning anything WB or DC related. WB is its chief rival as an institution and will continue fighting on for the foreseeable future. I'm not surprised about Fox however. It's kind of receded into almost second tier studio status in the last few years, where most of its big blockbuster flicks were either financial disappointments, or its hits weren't enough to sustain the shortfall in other areas. Essentially, the brand doesn't signify high quality and prestige like it used to, since many of its recent films have been garbage. I think Paramount and Universal are fine for now. But look out for Sony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 This potential sale is especially concerning given the recent story of Disney blacklisting the Los Angeles Times for publishing an unflattering story about their business ties to the City of Anaheim. Any corporation, especially one with as much power and reach as Disney, that behaves that way with a major press outlet, where they had better only publish things that make them look good 'or else' is abhorrent. Quote The annual Holiday Movie Sneaks section published by the Los Angeles Times typically includes features on movies from all major studios, reflecting the diversity of films Hollywood offers during the holidays, one of the busiest box-office periods of the year. This year, Walt Disney Co. studios declined to offer The Times advance screenings, citing what it called unfair coverage of its business ties with Anaheim. The Times will continue to review and cover Disney movies and programs when they are available to the public. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-holiday-movie-preview-2017-times-note-on-disney-1509668978-htmlstory.html The offending story: Is Disney paying its share in Anaheim? The money battle outside the Happiest Place on Earth. It's funny. I bet many executives at Disney would consider themselves anti-Trump yet they behave just as pettily and pathetically when receiving negative press.

Surely this his would affect competition as Disney would own so much of the entertainment industry? I wonder if Apple would be interested. A Netflix style streaming service and their own tv content is in the pipeline. Maybe if Fox start selling stuff off individually rather than wholesale. 34 minutes ago, BloodBoal said: Hopefully, Disney will also get the rights for the LOTR TV series.
