Sony Pictures has been losing a lot of money recently. How could they afford to expand? It would make more sense to sell Sony Pictures to Disney than to try and buy Fox.

Spider-Man with Deadpool, Wolverine and X-Men? {nm} Antibody Nov 17, 11:03

Its weird to me that most people's reaction to this is what this could do with their favorite superheroes {nm} Moviesnob Nov 17, 11:18

Since they bought Marvel and Lucasfilm, Disney is making more money with less releases Moviesnob Nov 17, 11:26

consolidation likely means less studio movies. That will have an enormous effect on the theatrical industry {nm} Moviesnob Nov 17, 11:27

Exhibition oversaturated with megaplexes everywhere and allowed movies to be played in theaters mere miles apart. Newer builds have lower Catzan Nov 17, 12:13

if demand is there, you can't build enough supply slipping jimmy Nov 17, 12:29

thats really all the studios are anymore tho - superhero factories. islndr Nov 17, 11:27

(1) only by choice, man; and (2) nothing lasts forever, not even comic book franchises {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 17, 11:31

Probably Will take 5 more years and then superhero - movies ( skyscrapers mayhem ) are passé. {nm} JMT-NL Nov 17, 12:34

thats unsustainable imo. I love them as well but theres going to be a saturation point. Especially with the varied quality between brands {nm} Moviesnob Nov 17, 11:32

all true. my post more in repsonse to yours that you find it weird people talk about what could do to superheroes... islndr Nov 17, 11:37

That is why it looks and feels like Marvel is about to pivot {nm} RazorHawk Nov 17, 11:46

Disney too. They are trying to become Netflix before Netflix can become Disney {nm} Moviesnob Nov 17, 12:03

If you were into comics you'd understand. Fans were ALWAYS comparing, loved team-ups, friendly rivalry and Baron_Darcon2017 Nov 17, 13:30
