I'm surprised how quickly l Ryan Murphy becomes irrelevant after signing mega Netflix deal.
And I'm not talking about how critically panned most of his contents are. Just less and less people care or watch his series.
Although Ratched got big numbers, but it is produces by 20th Studio and distributed by Disney, funny.

Man, ATT are really shit at being a corp, it's the AOL deal all over againInteresting read
Is AT&T Giving Up on HBO Max?
The wireless giant is in talks to spin off the media group that was supposed to be its future, part of $170 billion in failed deals it is unwinding this year.www.bloomberg.com
I look at most corporations like GE in 30 Rock. The only success is purely by accident.
The Zoey finale last night was pretty good. I want the show to come back but I won't be devastated if it doesn't. The setup at the end could bring a lot of fun if there's another season.
This was posted in the other thread but I thought I'd post it here too

How a Discovery-WarnerMedia Merger Would Rattle Hollywood
If AT&T makes a deal to spin off its media assets, sources say it could leave Discovery mogul David Zaslav in the driver's seat along with CNN chief Jeff Zucker — and wouldn't be a promising development for new WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar.

well at least streaming services are starting to combine. They wouldn't keep hbo max and discovery+ separate, right?
If the deal happens probably eventually but I'm guessing it will take a few years.

I think they are little small and their IPs are not big enough.
Disney only purchased top brand like Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars. Disney should pull a surprise move and purchase Viacom lol. Not sure they can muscle that much money after Fox though.
After Disney lost a lot of revenue last year due to the pandemic and the future unknowns related to the coronavirus I wonder if they may hesitate to make any major acquisitions for a little while.
Yeah they are very solid, but after today it's weirdly not enough.
I though since all media moguls try to build their streaming service. After the few years, most of them will fall and start to merge with each others.
But AT&T decides to speedrun the game today. I just check Discovery+ literally just launch in US in January, 4 month later they fold. This happens so suddenly they don't know what to do with their 2 service right now, combine or do add-on like Disney+.
New Viacom is always set up for purchase. Most outlets speculate they and NBC will merge unless there is another bidder.
Things move very fast, Disney may start to do something.
P/S: this is very good news for customers. Maybe in the end of this year there will be 3 streaming services left (not counting Apple TV+), we only need to sub 2 of them to get most of everything lol.
The WarnerMedia and Discovery move is confounding.
I don't know what the hell AT&T is doing, but it seems like they're flailing.

It looks good. But kinda weird because I remember the main character is a adult in the comic, full of violence and sex too.
All sight point to yes from what I read.
They bought Warner for $85B, now they get $43B worth of 71% shares of new company.
So the new joined company only worth $60B much lower than they valued Warner 3 years ago.
But maybe the new company will do great in the future without AT&T management.
Showbuzzdaily is still down. There haven't been any updates from them on Twitter since Friday so hopefully they're still trying to work it out.

Which is not new. It is why for instance they desperately tried to sell Warner Games, which failed.
Well, if the new report is right, WB Games is now getting broken up:
Not sure what comic you're thinking of, but it's not Sweet Tooth.
That said, it looks a little weird just since Lemire's art is so raw while this is so bright and clean.

I'm way behind on Good Fight, my partner and I lost our taste for it after Trump was elected and didn't want the constant reminders. Now he's out of office we might be able to enjoy it again.

The podcast was really good. Judging just by the trailer, this show seems like a pretty weak dramatization of it. But I'll withhold full judgment for when it actually releases.

Yeah I really enjoyed it too. Awesome cliffhanger, I really hope there's a season 3. Jane Levy keeps impressing me, the entire cast is actually.
Only 3 reviews for In Treatment Season 4 so far and they're kinda mixed to positive. I hope it gets great over the course of the season as some previous seasons were like. It's one of my most anticipated series. Mild spoilers in the reviews (that hint at bigger spoilers) BTW.

Disney is fine, they will have $16-17B of DTC revenue and $50B+ media revenue this year (not including parks) they had $4B in DTC revenue and $12.4B in total media revenue in the March quarter so times that by 4 or so.
That is roughly what the combined Warner-Discovery is projecting in 2023 with $15B+ in DTC revnue and $52B in total company revenue.

$9B is a lot that is more than Pixar or alternatively Marvel and Star Wars (Lucasfilm) combined.

It supposed to be last season before the pandemic right?
Disney will always be fine, they own too much big IPs. They are the best of getting results while doing bare minimum.
Disney just missed D+ sub target like 5 millions this quarter. The slow down is insane, you don't just miss your target with millions like that. I think they are quietly delusional if they thought they could get 15m more subs by relying on The Falcon And Winter Soldier alone. I'm fairly confident they never meet their target getting 240-260m D+ sub in the 2024. Disney maybe not need another big purchase, Fox studio is still there. They are neglecting the Fox side too much since acquisition. There are more news about executives exiting than projects being greenlit.
MGM was begging others to buy them for like $5-7B, then today Amazon will likely get them for $9B, massive overpriced. But this is totally a reaction after Warner-Discovery news.
Yeah, if you are a parent with young children, a Star Wars fan, or MCU fan then you probably have a D+ subscription. I doubt Loki, Obi-Wan, or whatever is going to see a large uptick in subscriptions.
Disney didn't miss their target (they are still on track to hit the 230-260m range by end of 2024), they missed wall streets target which was ridiculously high considering the miss that Netflix had on sub numbers and Disney only new territory was Singapore. For instance this slow down quarter they added 8.7m if they average that amount over the next 15 quarters that will take them to 234m subs by year end 2024, but as I said it was a slower quarter due to limited international expansion they still have Malaysia and Thailand in June followed by the Phillipines, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Eastern Europe later this year which should boost things in there short term.
Also MGM is not a reaction to Warner-Discovery it's way too soon after that announcement, this has likely been inn the works for months.
I honestly don't think they will. Let wait the end of the year when the free and discounted subs run out and see.
I think the $9B price is the the reaction, the "talks" just go on for too long. Warner-Discovery deal happened like in 2 days likely on the golf course lol. It was a rumor yesterday, confirmed today.
Free and discounted plans have long run out in there past and had little impact, so I expect the same in the future.
The CEOs of AT&T and Discovery have been discussing the merger since February.
source: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-at-t-discovery-inc-negotiations-idUSKCN2CY2HD
So it literally happened in the golf tournament lol.
This article is like today, who suppose to know what they were talking behind close door lol.
I typically just follow media outlets. This merger took everyone by surprise. Last thing I heard was AT&T wanted to merge Warner with NBCUniversal. The thing with Discovery is there is no build up to it.
Apple is really just not going to do anything about their lack of back catalog?
