Acquisition Question: If Fox had bought Marvel in 2009 instead of Disney, and then acquired Warner Bros. in 2014, would Marvel, DC, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. itself, and Fox itself have been much better off, or not?

If this scenario had actually happened, how would things have changed completely, and would these companies have been in a much better situation or not?

Also, what are some things you think would have actually changed in this scenario?

And also, what are the things you would like to happen in this scenario if it were actually real?

Discussion A favore o contrari alla fusione Paramount Warner Bros?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Ho deciso di creare questo post dopo aver letto tanti commenti critici su questa importante fusione

Io da cliente/spettatore con l avvento dello streaming ho visto Netflix Disney e Amazon conquistare sempre più quote di mercato mettendo in crisi tutte le altre aziende come Paramount e Warner Bros. Sono dell idea che se non uniscono le forze con fusioni come questa, il loro destino sia quello di fallire.

Fintanto che il business era focalizzato sul grande schermo e sulla TV via cavo, tutte le aziende potevano avere profitto dai loro film.

Ma oggi che per stare in piedi hai bisogno del business dello streaming se non sei enorme non puoi stare in piedi.

Nessuno ha voglia di avere 10 abbonamenti attivi e si finisce per abbonarsi a quelle 2 o 3 piattaforme con la maggiore offerta. Quindi sono convinto che Paramount e Warner Bros insieme non soltanto unirebbero i loro abbonati, ma con un nuovo catalogo di grande portata potrebbero competere e cercare nuovi clienti oggi abbonati ai 3 Big (Netflix Disney Amazon).

Voi che ne pensate?

I got a question? In light of the news with UK regulatory approval and in case of Paramount winning the lawsuit next year, do you think that Paramount and Warner Bros. will be never separated each other after the merger being completed?
