Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money?

They reacquired a significant amount of critical Marvel IP, they completed ownership of Star Wars (the first film was owned by Fox), they acquired a huge portfolio of lucrative IP (one of things you are complaining about), but most importantly they acquired Star… a huge media presence outside the US, especially in Asia.
Also, don’t forget that the merger only completed in 2019, right before a particular major global event that we only just started coming out of… and which continues to impact the film industry in particular in some very wild ways.

Also Fox Sports International and FX. People seem to forget that Disney isn’t just a production studio, it’s a media empire, they make a shit ton of money from their linear TV networks, especially the sports channels. Also their parks and merch departments make more money than they make directly from movies.
