What did they mean by this? >Now it's official. The Walt Disney Co. has agreed to acquire big parts of 21st Century Fox in an all-stock deal worth $52.4 billion, or approximately $66.1 billion when including debt, valuing shares of Fox at around $40 apiece while they had traded Wednesday at $32.75. >In another key news update, Disney said that longtime boss Bob Iger has extended his contract as chairman and CEO through the end of 2021. >The acquisition is expected to yield "at least" $2 billion in cost savings "from efficiencies realized through the combination of businesses, and to be accretive to earnings before the impact of purchase accounting for the second fiscal year after the close of the transaction," Disney said. >Asked about opportunities to boost revenue with the deal, Iger said on a call that "we are not getting specific on that," but said using more intellectual property will be a key focus here. Management said the full financial benefits of the deal would become visible by 2021. >Disney in announcing the deal focused on how "popular entertainment properties" will join the "Disney family," saying: "Combining with Disney are 21st Century Fox’s critically acclaimed film production businesses, including Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Fox 2000, which together offer diverse and compelling storytelling businesses and are the homes of Avatar, X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, as well as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Hidden Figures, Gone Girl, The Shape of Water and The Martian—and its storied television creative units, Twentieth Century Fox Television, FX Productions and Fox21, which have brought The Americans, This Is Us, Modern Family, The Simpsons and so many more hit TV series to viewers across the globe."

DR FUCKING DOOM YES YES YES YES YES
Jackson Bailey
Al Bundy as Nick Fury
Alexander Nelson
he tried to save us all from this
Robert Hughes
This. He will use this warchest to buy out CNN when they are spun off in the ATT/TimeWarner merger.
Hunter Morales
That's not Karl Marx
Sebastian Lopez

Lucas Howard
Bob (((Iger)))
Carson Young
yes citizen kane, the godfather, 2001, goodfellas are just dumb movies
Jason Roberts
they're great films made during an era of actual film-making
Aaron Gray
HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT >Combining with Disney are 21st Century Fox’s critically acclaimed film production businesses, including Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Fox 2000, which together offer diverse and compelling storytelling businesses and are the homes of Avatar, X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, as well as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Hidden Figures, Gone Girl, The Shape of Water and The Martian—and its storied television creative units, Twentieth Century Fox Television, FX Productions and Fox21, which have brought The Americans, This Is Us, Modern Family, The Simpsons and so many more hit TV series to viewers across the globe. Disney will also acquire FX Networks, National Geographic Partners, Fox Sports Regional Networks, Fox Networks Group International, Star India and Fox’s interests in Hulu, Sky plc, Tata Sky and Endemol Shine Group.
Blake Taylor
Now that Disney has Avatar what is the point of the "X days until Avatar" threads?
Landon Cox
I hope Cameron plugs out Avatar from Fox and runs away making his own studio. Can he do it?
Luke Carter
I don't know, how do distribution deals and the like work? They can't just cancel them I'd assume
Jack Bell
Who cares?
Isn't this a monopoly or some shit like that? Wasn't it illegal?
Brody Walker
antitrust when?
Matthew Thompson
Fox does not fully own Avatar, which is the reason why there is so few merchandising
Gavin Hall
>The Boards of Directors of Disney and 21st Century Fox have approved the transaction, which is subject to shareholder approval by 21st Century Fox and Disney shareholders, clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, a number of other non-United States merger and other regulatory reviews, and other customary closing conditions.
>star wars will have the 20th century fox fanfare at the beginning again The only good thing about this deal
Andrew Thompson
I like how Disney shill keep talking about the Fox fanfare as if anybody cared and carefully ingnore the fact that Disney is an evil company that only makes awful reboots of the IP they acquired. Now they're having a quasi monopoly on Hollywood as if Capeshit and nu-wars wasn't bad enough. I bet the Alien vs predator movies will look like art compared to what they're gonna shit every single year.
Angel Howard
I guess having no anti-monopoly laws is still great thing
Kevin Morales
It's nice how you've missed the "only good thing about this deal" part
William Morris
This is before the merger AntiTrust laws are a thing faggot and anti-monopoly laws can't be placed here unless the gubmint wants a piece of the cake. see USA vs Microsoft Public Acquiral of private property is statism at its finest and needs to be discouraged. Oligopolies need to be dismantles and the first thing that needs to go is the FED,
Daniel Hall
So do they own fox channel? if not what happens to fox tv shows?
Connor Sanchez
>Isn't this a monopoly or some shit like that? Wasn't it illegal? Not under Trump. Its more of an oligopoly.
Jeremiah Wilson
trump admin is fighting the at&t time warner merger
Blake Moore
Only because Time Warner owns CNN and Trump doesn't like CNN.
Kayden Hughes
I wasn't talking about your specific ocmment user, but I heard so many fags happy about that fanfare thing, it's like even Disney didn't have anything to hype up ppl about this deal, the fanfare is the only thing that they can present as positive.
Grayson Bell
all reddit trash
Wyatt Walker
Oh God, they're going to make a sequel to The Martian aren't they?
Kayden Phillips
Fuck me,will we ever get rid of fucking capeshit?Jesus the future of movies looks really dark
Liam Cook
The Godfather is a dirty cum rag used as the centerpiece of a circlejerk and nothing more
Nathan Fisher
Fox and FX are Disney now, Fox News, Fox Sports, and Fox Business are what's Fox to my understanding.
Carson Campbell
Oops I meant
Grayson Miller
goodbye, they alone made Fox the best of the major studios
Brandon Martin
And Nat Geo and SKY.
John Kelly
...
Henry Taylor
I don't care about Fox, but I'm sad about the X-men cinematic universe. I want it to stay separate. Marvel is shit, DC is shit, both only work with the same formula. X-Men was always different and made some actual kino unlike those two.
Colton Morris
>Mary Poppins Returns >Returns Are they for real?
Julian Smith
>Nat Geo Interdasting...
Jackson Barnes
Movies will now be cookie cutter until the end of time
Isaiah Morales
That's 21 high-profile movies over three years, and this was BEFORE the merger. Thor - 800mil Coco - 400mil TLJ - 800mil+ easy
They're already at 2Bn+ before the year ends. now they have fox.
rlly make syou think
Landon Richardson
Are we getting a Gone Girl sequel?
I hope there’s plenty of quips and a bland score by Trent Reznor
Aiden Collins
...
Nathaniel Richardson
DCU is fucking dead now, can't wait for Disney to buy Sony too.
One year till the deal takes place, come on Fox quickly greenlight Master and Commander 2, it will be disney's problem when it flops
Leo Williams
Oh, fuck. They have Avatar?
It's over. This is our future.
Jonathan Brooks
A full-feature 2D Wes Anderson flick would be magical.
Connor Gray
Dark navy or charcoal are really the only appropriate colors in a professional setting. Unless you're tech, an actual entertainer, or a woman.
Jeremiah Foster
>Master and Commander 2 Any news or is that wishful thinking?
Julian Flores
Fox sounds like its still a hit maker. While Disney can't help itself from shitting up the properties they gobble up.
Gavin Price
>won't get szechuan sauce until 2019
Chase Morris
>boss Bob Iger has extended his contract as chairman and CEO through the end of 2021 ?????????????
Jack Hall
The netflick Marvel shows are more adult and dark than Logan.
I don't see the logic here.
John Sanchez
They're also all uniformly shit except for DDS1 And logan is shit, too
Nathaniel Russell
Piece of shit Disney. We need to destroy this evil company of shit!!
Aaron Anderson
>FX Productions >Disney is going to replace Nick Fury with archer You have one job Disney!
Elijah Green
Disney execs deserve to be lined up and shot
Samuel Sullivan
They will probably just pay the bullets a few million to turn around.
Jordan Young
I fucking hate disney.
Elijah Richardson
...
Ethan Peterson
I am now concerned this will be cancelled
Jose Davis
>cancelling shows, especially sci-fi
That was more Fox's bag.
Austin Jones
How much more PC will films be from now on?
Mason Sanders
Fuck I forgot about Almost Human. Although Fox loves MacFarlane so I assumed they'd give Orville more leeway than most scifi shows. It took them 4 seasons to cancel the Cleveland show. I'm now concerned MacFarlane won't jive with family friendly Disney
Luis King
The first thing that needs to go is copyright laws
Parker Fisher
Yeah, there are a couple of FX shows that may not make the cut (e.g. Always Sunny, Louie, The Mick, etc.). Hopefully they give the channels/studios some independence.
Benjamin Howard
heh
Liam Davis
I thought Louis was already on the way out because he liked making women watch him masturbate
Grayson Morales
Basically, navy is a colour that looks good on most guys and doesn't draw too much attention.
David Jenkins
>This time we lost Matt Damon >ON THE SUN
Henry Flores
>do you want to see my penis? I doubt it will even be a thing in about four months. It's not like Weinstein or Cosby. They're deservedly fucked forever.
Nathan Thomas
What kind of absolute fucking retard gives a shit about any of these?
Adam Lewis
Isn't it becoming kind of monopoly corporation?
Mason Garcia
Who cares about monopoly over entertainment? It's not s a utility company, it produces movies for brainlets
The barriers to entry for movie-making are monetary only, and the service provided is in no way essential
Who gives a fuck
Jayden Lewis
So netflix is fucked
Luke Richardson
there is no hope anymore
i hate disney i hate them so goddman much
there goes my Legion FX show and Gotham, the only tv capeshit I ever tried and somewhat liked
and the rest of FOX will be raped
Hudson Reed
So that's perma Sky Cinema Disney confirmed then.
>When Disney is your ISP
Alexander Roberts
Rupert Murdoch will come out richer in the long run,” Vogel said. “He’ll have a percentage of a Disney that’s a much stronger company with these Fox assets and he’ll grow his net worth faster if he owns them through Disney than if owns them himself. That’s why he’s so smart.”
Caleb Cook
I WONDER WHO COULD BE BEHIND THIS POST??
Colton Sullivan
>MY GABEGINO IS RUINED FUG DERSNEE
Kayden Perez
>Who gives a fuck Anti-monopoly laws and a chance to fuck up Disney.
Julian Evans
they own so much it influences other people's work monkey see monkey do for the race for cheap cash
see the fucking DCEU - BvS, JL etc failed because they wanted to emulate Marvel to get the same sweet cash and also jump straight to an Avengers scenario - and look at how it repaid the fans with any semblance of quality
Jonathan Cox
Based Murdoch
Best part is that his faggy children will get nada
You people think that Disney will fuck up your franchises but Murdoch's sons are commie-tier, it was inevitable either way
Tyler Morris
Oh god no, a company that puts out trash was bought by a company that puts out trash
who the fuck cares
Cooper Carter
cool shitpost, I told you I somewhat liked them you illiterate projecting retard. also to say Legion wasn't decent is just straight out lying, it wasn't even capeshit in the sense of other material, it was all psychological for most of the part and a half cinematography jerkoff to try and capture the pilot atmosphere for the rest of the series episodes when it got funded
Michael Thomas
>they own so much it influences other people's work
That's not what anti-trust law is about nor is that a genuine critique of a monopoly. Who gives a fuck if people are "influenced" artistically
>see the fucking DCEU - BvS, JL etc failed because they wanted to emulate Marvel to get the same sweet cash and also jump straight to an Avengers scenario - and look at how it repaid the fans with any semblance of quality
I do not give a single solitary shit about your cape movies.
Chase Anderson
Murdoch is clearly done with all this shit now. He just seems to be selling up. Won't be surprised if he just ends up with his newspapers as a little vanity project. They were always his only real passion.
