xequalsy Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Also: Combining with Disney are 21st Century Fox’s critically acclaimed film production businesses, including Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Fox 2000, which together offer diverse and compelling storytelling businesses and are the homes of Avatar, X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, as well as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Hidden Figures, Gone Girl, The Shape of Water and The Martian—and its storied television creative units, Twentieth Century Fox Television, FX Productions and Fox21, which have brought The Americans, This Is Us, Modern Family, The Simpsons and so many more hit TV series to viewers across the globe. Disney will also acquire FX Networks, National Geographic Partners, Fox Sports Regional Networks, Fox Networks Group International, Star India and Fox’s interests in Hulu, Sky plc, Tata Sky and Endemol Shine Group. Does this mean the deal does include the F4 after all? I thought I read some debate here about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Also it does sound like they're keeping Fox Searchlight around, which is a relief. Disney probably wants increased visibility during awards season, just not under their own label. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Obviously this deal is much bigger than certain franchises but Disney being in control of both the Avatar and Star Wars franchises is just mind boggling. Remember the last non-Disney or Universal $1 Billion film was back in 2014 with Transformers: Age of Extinction. Avatar 2 to me was the most definite one to break that streak but now....

Let's not forget that Disney not only owns all these franchises now, they also create original contents with WDAS, Pixar and Disney Channel. They have no real flaws. As I said earlier I hope they can create studios and massivley invest in videogames, we need ambitious contents with these franchises and for now EA didn't deliver at all with Star Wars.

Disney doesn't need to create anything, they can just buy other studios. They are already the EA of the movie business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney produces quality movies as Rotten Tomatoes regularly shows it while EA is pretty mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YM! Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I hope Disney finds a use for Kingsman, Apes, Alien and Predator without having to dilute them. It’s a shame Fox is done with the X-Men franchise, they were doing something different with the superhero genre. On one hand this’ll prevent superhero fatigue but it also means less creativity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Disney Did X-Men, they would not be making numbers like DOFP on average WW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm guessing Dark Phoenix will mark the end of McAvoy/Fassbender/Lawrence X-Men universe movies (then again that was probably the plan, I was surprised Lawrence decided to come back anyway).

Still, fuck this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
