Expect to see a lot more recycled garbage in the next few years.
Warner Brothers is most definitely not worth $72 billion. All the old studios are going down the toilet and will be worth even less 5 years from now than they are now. They are losing value faster than a new car that is driven off the lot.
The streaming evolution is causing change on a scale unthinkable only a few years back. All the old providers are trying mightily to prevail in the new market.
Discovery could not. Organizationally it could not attract enough viewers to survive.
We’re going in the wrong direction. Woke Netflix needs to go under, not grow.
This will likely be rejected by the US, EU, and other authorities. No way it will even pass. It’s part of a pressure by Reed Hastings and the rest of the crew to buy an entire studio, empty its library, and destroy it while pushing new X-rated material not in the cinema but on their service.
This is to raise the stock price of Netflix, but it will not even clear any antitrust offices. This isn’t Biden when he let Bezos take over MGM. You’re dealing with a tougher FTC and FCC.
The whole point is to move movies solely to Netflix on Netflix films on their service, skip the cinema. You dry the library of characters and use it to promote your adult entertainment.
Don’t know if anybody can mess up the DC comic heroes worse, but I’m sure Netflix will give it their best shot.
It’s funny...the consolidation of these companies will end up with a few large operators. Just like the cable industry that was regulated to death in the mid 1990s.
Everything old is new again.
I guess since Netflix is buying up warner bros, I should keep my 300 dvds instead of having to pay $3.99- 9.99 to watch old movies.
