Fox has suspended its shareholder meeting indefinitely as the bids play out. P.S. for actual news, no need to go to movie website/trades people..... Actual journalist will be covering this.

MovieMan89 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 C'mon, it's beyond obvious Disney will get Fox in the end. It's clear they really want them, and the Mouse today gets what they want, plain and simple. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several movies (SM, HP, other Pirates in the high $800s and $900s millions before and after ROTK and movies that had already made $1b and $1.8+b Between TFA and AIW the highest grossing movies WW didn't hit $1.4b. Even after Avatar smashed past the $2b barrior (like Titanic before it and $1b) the highest grossing film (JW:FK) over the next decade other than TFA and AIW was $329m off the mark and the couple below it were almost $500m off the mark (Avengers & FF7). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally the vote was scheduled for July 10 but has now been postponed to an unspecified later date in light of the updated bids - https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/disney-ups-twenty-century-fox-703b-56025223 Comcast has time now to up their bid and there are rumours that they may do so. But at this point signs point to Disney getting the deal done over Comcast. Fox and especially Murdochs have always shown more favour to Disney’s stock+cash deal rather than Comcast’s all cash deal due to tax implications. Not only that but Disney has been preparing for this deal a lot longer than Comcast has and so has advantage in that they are already six months into regulatory review process - https://variety.com/2018/biz/news/bob-iger-disney-fox-comcast-acquistion-1202851921/ There is also rumours that DOJ could approve the deal within 2 weeks - https://thefly.com/landingPageNews.php?id=2748127 if this is true then that is a huge advantage to Disney and a big point of consideration for Fox shareholders as Comcast is likely to run into more hurdles with DOJ than the Disney deal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Disney’s deal now takes on $13B+ of Fox debt...driving the deal up to ~$85B. It’s ridiculous how expensive it’s getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
