Yep thrifty Zaslav is going to penny pinch as expected. {nm} notfabio Feb 24, 07:38

Interesting, he sees WB's content as "shock and owe" as opposed to Disney's "loved across the world" and Netflix's "very broad appeal". {nm} Antibody Feb 24, 07:48

Shock and AWE {nm} Antibody Feb 24, 07:49

Given they shocked talent and then owed them their backend upfront with their stupid project popcorn idea, you were clever with your typo {nm} Moviesnob Feb 24, 09:20

His phrasing is basically oversimplified, in general Disco explains, WB entertains for a full package...but... notfabio Feb 24, 10:36

WB/Disco have volume. Disney has a few select IPs that are massive. Netflix is right between the two {nm} Moviesnob Feb 24, 10:57

(unrelated, congrats on all the great pickups lately. sorry i missed the LA screening but will try to keep my eyes out for the next) {nm} fat bernie Feb 24, 11:02

Thanks! Paying the bills! {nm} Moviesnob Feb 24, 12:17
