Everything but the sports, local, business/news, and broadcast part of Fox would be sold to Disney.

Thoughts?

WSJ is saying the talks have been called off for now. So I'm willing to bet there is already an agreement.

I don't know enough about how monopoly laws work, but it feels like Disney is acquiring half of media.

Well they purposely wouldn't acquire any sports or broadcast due to competition laws.

I don't know enough about how monopoly laws work, but it feels like Disney is acquiring half of media.

It would be a huge move. Disney would reportedly buy up Fox's movie studio and some of its TV assets, but not its news and sports offerings or its broadcast channel. That would conceivably give Disney a variety of valuable content including the "X-Men" franchise and "The Simpsons."

That kind of old content is becoming increasingly valuable for entertainment companies as they fight to counter the growing dominance of Netflix and the entry of other major tech companies into the industry. Disney will soon be removing most of its content from Netflix and developing its own direct-to-consumer approach.

Buying up Fox's entertainment assets would provide Disney with even more intellectual property to develop, much as its done with other franchises including "Star Wars" and the Marvel universe.

The deal, however, would almost inevitably encounter government scrutiny. Disney is already a tremendously powerful media company with a wide variety of assets including ESPN, ABC, and plenty more. Disney would counter that by claiming that companies like Netflix are forcing it to get bigger in order to compete.

Disney's acquisition of Fox assets could also include its stake in Hulu. Disney are Fox currently each own 30 percent of the internet-based platform, meaning Disney could theoretically gain a majority stake in the company. Disney has said it's going to have an online platform, and using Hulu would take out a lot of that leg work.

Media journalists and pundits speculated that Monday's report shows that regardless of whether Disney ends up as the buyer, 21st Century Fox's assets are up for sale. Other media companies could now start looking into a bid.

Those ones felt more like the hard death of Die Hard, although I just checked and they're still making another one so I guess this franchise was never gonna rest regardless of Disney

I wonder if Disney will follow Google and make a holding company to avoid plastering their name on things that may hurt their "childish brand."

Yes X-Men

Do you think we ever would've gotten Legion or Deadpool or Logan is Disney owned the X-Men? Disney doesn't like going outside their comfort zone. Say what you want about Marvel's superhero movies but they take risks

As good as Logan was, I don't think it makes up for the rest of the utter crap that is the Fox X-Men stuff.

That said, I think people panicking don't realize just how much stuff Disney owns that hasn't been Disney-ized.

Disney owns part of Vice Media, for instance, which is what Snoop Dogg and a band called "Fucked Up" have been under.
