Will they continue release them as FOX COMPANY just under Disney like MCU and PIXAR All of those are aging shows that have been on for a while. AHS will end once Ryan Murphy decides he's officially bored of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 39 minutes ago, EmpireCity said: It has to go through review, but it will be allowed since it isn't a monopoly but is simply a giant chunk. You are correct that this sets them up to rule the box office, especially key dates. They will choke the competition out of key Holiday releases and other prime spots. Not sure if you'd have any insight on this but this was brought up in the Deadpool 2 thread. Do you think Disney would have Fox move Deadpool 2 or Disney move Han Solo so it's not three Disney (I know Deadpool 2 is still Fox) movies being released one after another with Han Solo, Deadpool 2, and Incredibles? Im only asking because you brought up an interesting point in how Disney can pretty much control the box office by picking the best/most optimal release dates for all their franchises.

YM! Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 A major problem with the deal is who much less films under Fox. I imagine they’ll be limited to like 6 a year (3 from Searchlight and 3 from 2000). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 They're only choking the competition because the other studios haven't been putting out product worthy of those prime spots on as consistent a basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Searchlight typically only releases 5-8 movies per year; this year is an anomaly (though a strong anomaly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us will survive the first. As for the second, I have a hunch this is something that could be tied up legalese for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
