I don't think it will be that bad. Everyone freaked out whenever Disney bought anything and it worked out just fine.

I am concerned about one good friend who works at Warner Bros, but otherwise, we're entering a period where the industry needs this kind of change in order to move forward and survive. Better Netflix than Paramount since Warner Bros offers Netflix things it doesn't have, while Paramount/Warners would just be one massive theatrical conglomerate with nothing being offered than even further IP.

Netflix news "really" sucks. Agreed. My take... (nside) VictorY Dec 06, 13:34

Yep. I can't believe the degree of not caring about your own legacy, or the history of it at all. It's sickening. But hey, it's capitalism. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 06, 14:22

Don't blame capitalism. Hollywood would not exist without it. {nm} THXER Dec 07, 10:49

Hmm I'm not sure I'd call losing an entire slate from another major studio (Fox) "fine"... {nm} wolfiemozart Dec 06, 16:33

What did they lose? Still releasing Avatar movies, keeping the Alien and Predator franchises alive and doing better than ever. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 17:20

THEY didn't lose. WE did. Tallwonder Dec 07, 00:11

In 2017, Disney released 12 movies. Fox (and Searchlight) released 30. In 2024, Disney released 14 & Fox/Searchlight released...10 {nm} Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:21

Searchlight mostly becoming a content provider for Hulu has particularly devastated the arthouse market Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:23

(BREAKING) Trump Administration regulator : WBD is far more likely to collect its $5.8 billion breakup fee (from Netflix) Peterlee Dec 06, 16:58

In short, Trump will try his best to kill the Netflix/Warners deal Peterlee Dec 06, 17:00

I received an email from Netflix already confirming its done sneak Dec 06, 20:03

All Netflix subscribers got that Email... TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 20:26

I get that sneak Dec 07, 00:20

Gotcha. Netflix should just get their lawyers suing Trump early... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 07, 05:24

Until the cheque for the donation to his presidential library clears. Assuming that would be less than 5.8bn. {nm} RufusS Dec 07, 06:29

Thats what people forget, is that other than being racist & sexist, Trump is not an idealogue. He's for sale {nm} Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:03

Netflix quietly does some great things (e.g. with Jane Campion & the next generation - waveintheocean.nz), which the likes of WB never did. {nm} Qix Dec 06, 20:25

Netflix has made and acquired a ton of high quality films and given lots of filmmakers a blank check to make their dream projects Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:33

For sure, although I assume Sarandos will have factored the cost of Nolan's day-n-date... Qix Dec 07, 11:49
