Someone mentioned Edgar Wright, he would be a bonus if added. -- nm - budice Jan 30, 19:29 1
- he can finally do his ant man movie, only with the atom. -- nm - mafic Jan 30, 19:45
Great! Nobody tell him that WBD gets sold or merged in 2024! -- nm - David Jan 30, 19:12 27
- if you (or the other David) seriously believe Biden's DOJ will approve another WB sale, you should read up more on their antitrust moves -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 19:17 26
  - But what if it's purchased by something outside of media? Wouldn't that in theory increase competition? - JD Jan 30, 19:43 22
    - who outside of media would want to own Zaslav's mess? - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 19:44 21
      - Marvel vs DC Crossovers -- nm - budice Jan 30, 19:57 1
        
        Warner Brothes tried to license out DC Comics a few years ago..Marvel & a couple of others had meetings. All walked because... - Remlik Jan 30, 20:11
      - Something who sees Zaslav's actions as a good start -- nm - JD Jan 30, 19:54 3
        
        the CFO is on the record in the press as saying consumers need to pay a lot more for streaming. that's like exhibit A in DOJ's injunction complaint -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 19:56 2
        
        Wouldn't necessarily stop a divesture of WB? I mean if the studio is unburdened from all the Discovery streaming stuff - JD Jan 30, 20:10 1
        
        HBO Max without WB is just Discovery+, which defeats the whole purpose of buying WB in the first place (to have a home when cable goes bye bye) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 20:15
      - Yes, who would want to own Batman? -- nm - David Jan 30, 19:48 6
        
        AT&T thought exactly that four years ago. how'd that work out for them? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 19:55
        
        The Joker. -- nm - Todd Manning Jan 30, 19:54
        
        Oh yeah, I forgot that DC could be sold as straight IP -- nm - JD Jan 30, 19:53 3
        
        no way they sell DC. The merch money for the characters alone is hundreds of millions per quarter. -- nm - Remlik Jan 30, 20:03 2
        
        The truth lies somewhere between your and pixie's fanboy and rageboy positions. -- nm - David Jan 30, 20:12
        
        But if it's not Discovery and cheap to make content, it sucks -- nm - JD Jan 30, 20:11
      - Saudis. -- nm - Remlik Jan 30, 19:46 5
        
        never in life. oil money only goes for prestige or ROI. -- nm - mafic Jan 30, 19:49 4
        
        they're looking to wash their image. I think anything and everything is up for grabs for them -- nm - Remlik Jan 30, 19:51 3
        
        prestige or return. WB ain't prestige, and for return they'd have to buy it for almost nothing. -- nm - mafic Jan 30, 20:57
        
        and Japan was going to buy Hollywood in the 80s . . . everyone thinks its a great idea at the time, then end up naked and bleeding after the biz - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 19:58 1
        
        you're probably right -- nm - Remlik Jan 30, 19:59
      - Elon Musk -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 19:45 1
        
        Am considering taking WBD private at $69.69. Funding secured. -- nm - mafic Jan 30, 19:47
  - Mmmhmm -- nm - David Jan 30, 19:37 2
    - if they were willing to go to the mattresses against a couple of book publishers (and win) they'll have an even easier case against Zaslav the Butcher -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 19:39 1
      - I'm sure the Writer's Guild will send another sternly worded letter, too. -- nm - David Jan 30, 19:41
show me detective chimp! - mafic Jan 30, 19:02 1
- I'd watch Hit Monkey Vs Detective Chimp -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 19:30
