Will Disney’s Epic Buyout Of Fox Mark The End Of The Everything-Bubble

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-23/will-disneys-epic-buyout-fox-mark-end-everything-bubble

For those that do not know, several months ago, Disney made a bid of $52 Billion dollars to buy 21st Century Fox. The reason was obvious. Disney’s major cash cow is the Marvel Cinematic Universe films and franchise. The problem is that while Disney owns Marvel, it does not own the film rights to the X-men, Fantastic Four, Blade, and a few other Marvel properties. 21st Century Fox owns those rights.

On a side know, Universal Studios owns the rights for solo Hulk movies, but not team movies. And Sony owns the film rights to Spider-man.

With the Star Wars franchise in the tank, Disney is more desperate for the Marvel film rights.

Comcast knows this and upped the ante with a counter offer of $65 Billion dollar bid a month ago.

Disney has not upped their offer to $71 Billion.

Before Comcast’s bid, it was leaked that Disney $52 Billion dollar bid would be paid over the course of ten years. Meaning, they do not have the cash on hand to outright pay their offer up front.

Upping the bid to $71 Billion is Disney likely betting their house they can make back that money within ten years. If the deals goes through and Disney does not make that money back, it becomes interesting. This is basically a loan mortgage situation where Disney has to pay the bill in full, or they may lose the deal and the money the sunk into this. This is how companies go bankrupt.

If Comcast is the winner of the offer they may lease the Marvel film rights they gain to Disney for a fee.

This is an interesting situation to watch.

They killed Star Wars they will kill off superheroes now too, not that the superhero thing hasn’t been milked to death already.

Definitely true. Once the current crop of characters start phasing out in the near future I’m fully expecting the Marvel franchise to go down hill hard. My guts just telling me Captain Marvel is going to usher in an era of girl power/SJW to the extreme in the Marvel movie universe, just like what they ruined Star Wars with.

I find it hilarious if you click on any Solo article and go to the comments…a huge majority of the comments are saying something along the lines of “SOLO FLOPPED BECAUSE TLJ SUCKED SO BAD PEOPLE LOST INTEREST IN THE FRANCHISE.” Meanwhile everything Disney has to say refuses to acknowledge the obvious. Its like Disney actually wants to lose money on this franchise. I read Solo was a net loss of 50-80 million for Disney after taking production costs and marketing into account…something tells me episode 9 is going to eclipse that figure as Disney would rather s~~~ on the fans and rub it in than just admit they f~~~ed up and do what they can to salvage it.

Disney is acting like a broke feminist who is trying to buying an expensive house.

There’s a LOT more to the story that what you or the article are aware of. ESPN is a part of Disney and Disney is purchasing virtually all of the Fox Sports regional sports assets in order to merge them with ESPN. That way ESPN will have a national AND regional footprint across the entire United States. THAT is the BIGGEST part of the acquisition. Yes there are other parts too, however the expansion of ESPN is what’s behind most of this. You can look for the movie studio deals too. Something for you to remember is that ESPN is the ONLY division of Disney that loses money every year. With the Fox Sports regional assets coming on board it will likely break even or even make money in the next decade. That’s assuming market conditions remain somewhat the same and/or the internet wave stays on the current estimated trend.

That is interesting.

Though, the dirty little secret is the ESPN is not turning a profit from willing subscribers, and instead money is taking from all subscribers to pay for ESPN broadcast fees. Even if the subscribers does not officially pay for ESPN, nor get ESPN, the subscriber is still paying ESPN every month.

Dirty little secret? It’s an openly know fact. Why do you think Disney is doing this? Mostly to help ESPN have a wider base and much larger cash flow. Fox Sports Southwest will become ESPN Southwest. etc. etc. ESPN literally overpays for everything. Bear that in mind.

That is one way to look at the situation.

I see it as ESPN cannot really pay for itself with only willing subscribers, and if even one major satellite or cable company drops ESPN from their service, ESPN will go into a financial death spiral.

This really confused me at first. I think you meant “now.”

With Disney killing off what it touches with leftist liberalism, this is going to be something to watch.
