Merger Deals

The main concern of the Disney/Fox deal to me is how it will create serious issues for Netflix. I hope it results in better original content instead of more shitty movies being added to the service.

I can see it as a possible concern for Netflix, they are already in the hole. They are spending more money on content then receiving in revenue.

I already paid that on Dec 1st. Plus coming found out, Netflix overcharged me. I was originally charged $12.64, but got a refund and the final bill was $11.96.

I've been disappointed with the selection of movies on Netflix for the last year or two.

With some of Disney and Fox news coming out little by little. Disney Marvel would get the rights to X-Men and the mutant world. But this part sucks and coming to find out some other company owns the property’s production rights to Fantastic Four which is Constantin Films. 20th Century Fox was just teaming up with them.

Crazy. Xerox was the big kid on the block forever. I always think of Fuji for film products first, and forget that they have a ton of electronics in their brand.

I heard about this morning, Sony may be following the same suit what Fox is doing. I saw some article on Facebook about Sony and Disney talking. But if Disney bought the rights to Sony, now Disney would be way too powerful. I rather see the Sony sell their movies and tv rights to another company and Disney Marvel just go after Spider-Man.
