It’s a uniquely complicated deal, but they should get virtually Paramount assets, including Star Trek, presuming it goes through. - David Apr 9, 08:41 3
- Maybe we will get to see Tom Cruise as a starfleet admiral - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:25 2
  - Not sure that Tom Cruise would want to play an alien... -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 09:34
  - (I thought he was a part owner, or at least a tight collaborator, but perhaps I was misinformed) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:30
if they buy Paramount in it's entirety yeah. but if they just want Paramount + I don't think so. David should know more on this -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:37 8
- who the fuck would pay for just the streamer without rights to the shows? gong show. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 08:38 7
  - right? But most of the deals I've read and hear Kim & co. talk about is that companies that want to buy out want the streamer & not Paramount -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:42 6
    - Nobody wants linear, but corporations won’t sell piecemeal. Otherwise, they’d get stuck with the rotting corpse. -- nm - David Apr 9, 08:44 5
      - I get what you're saying (and I basically agree), but there is still big money in linear for at least two more decades -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:58
      - lol unlike the non-rotting corpse of the streamers that continue to bleed money from their collective aortas - hollywood big shot Apr 9, 08:48 3
        
        Sure, and I've got a good feeling about the return of pagers! -- nm - David Apr 9, 09:55
        
        I dunno. Pluto seems to be viable and they're just a service without owning or producing any content. That's even with Viacom buying them -- nm - JD Apr 9, 08:57 1
        
        Plus, Netflix is wildly profitable. Hulu has had steady profit for a while now. Max just got a year of profitability. -- (edited) - Inigo Apr 9, 09:07
