ZeeSoh Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 38 minutes ago, terrestrial said: thank you @ZeeSoh , I updated the list ot the remaing countries as far as 'known'. I guess we will hear more in a few weeks, a new year,... might be a typical date for a ruling in this or that country too Of the remaining countries only Mexico might require some concessions for approval. Football is big in Mexico and some people there have raised concerns that a Fox-Disney merger will dominate sports broadcast. So like Brazil and EU, Mexico might require some divestments or concessions to approve the deal. Regardless the deal will happen, it’s too big to be jeopardized by one country. I dont think the other countries will have that much concerns about the deal. I dont know about UK, whether it is counted with EU or not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Just now, terrestrial said: ‘Extra’ Goes Wider On Fox Stations, Leaving Longtime NBC Roost Just now, terrestrial said: Ahead of the sale of two-thirds of 21st Century Fox to Disney, Fox has been aggressively lining up programming, adding major assets like WWE wrestling and NFL football to national prime time. In the syndication realm, the company recently made offers for Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, only to be outbid by Disney-ABC. After the merger closes (likely in the coming weeks), Fox will consist mostly of the broadcast network, Fox News and the station portfolio, which has 28 stations in 17 markets. https://deadline.com/2018/12/extra-goes-wider-on-fox-stations-leaving-longtime-nbc-home-1202521552/ The markets should be about staes within the US I guess, but the time-frame seems a bit earlier than in the past the most articles speculated about - I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu package deal is welcome news. Can't see it being more than $25/month with a no ads package, maybe closer to $20. ESPN+ is a pretty great value for the price and I suspect Disney+ will be similarly priced for the amount of content relative to other streaming services (probably $8-$10/month).

lilmac Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 How is Disney not exposed by any Alita losses. Surely Fox put in for advertising and part of the production budget - right? It wasn't all Cameron..correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this weekend is just its 2nd weekend in a lot of countries, and in its 1st weekend in China and Japan. Plus: often movies that might not click with everyone of the GA, are special in something, do good in HV, as ppl who's spouses or friends were not willing to watch it with them, might buy it later on. The exact accounting details should depend on the specifics of the contracts. Texas tax rebates... https://gov.texas.gov/film/page/overview Huston adds small % supplements to that, btw. There is a lot to look into before we know more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how much Fox paid to finance the movie and advertise the movie, but if it increases its debt, Disney will be responsible for the debt. We’ll have to wait to see how much money Alita loses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Disney+ is unlikely to come to Australia anytime soon. Disney have put all of their content on Stan locally. Stan is a local streaming service. https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/fans-freak-out-over-disneys-massive-australian-news/news-story/1a9775de54a8c60dc2e50fabfcb7e973 Unless Disney buys Channel 9, which owns Stan.

terrestrial Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Disney-Fox Deal Nears Final Approval After Progress In Brazil And Mexico Quote In one of the last steps in the regulatory review of Disney’s $71.3 billion deal to buy most of 21st Century Fox, regulators in Brazil appear to be poised to approve the transaction on Wednesday. ... to now be satisfied after Disney offered some of the concessions they had requested. Once their OK is secured, a final closing period of about 10 days will begin as the final Ts are crossed and Is dotted, a source with knowledge of the regulatory process tells Deadline. That would mean an official closing in mid-March, which is in line with initial forecasts even if it is later than it appeared things would conclude by the last few weeks of 2018. News of the movement with regulators was reported earlier today by Bloomberg, which said a similar agreement with regulators in Mexico had been reached. .... The main sticking point, as in other regions, was Disney’s putative ownership of Fox Sports given the importance of soccer rights. ... Fox’s regional sports networks, with a collective worth of more than $15 billion, are in the process of being shopped to likely a collection of different buyers. As stipulated by a settlement between Disney and the U.S. Department of Justice, those divestitures can continue for a short time beyond the main deal’s projected closing, but are expected to conclude this year. The holdup in Brazil was an unexpected twist, and given the larger stakes Disney CEO Bob Iger opted to fly down to South America two weeks ago to meet with regulators in person. ... https://deadline.com/2019/02/disney-fox-deal-nears-finish-line-progress-in-brazil-mexico-1202565767/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
