Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money?
chickenwing@lemmy.film 1 year agoSure they got a lot of stuff in the Fox archive I’m just not sure it was 70 billion worth. Amazon bought MGM for much less. Disney also sold their Mirimax catalog years ago for less than a billion. Having a big back catalog is nice but not if it comes with an insane amount of debt. They could have made a deal with Fox for their catalog and their IPs for less money but they bought all their studios too and then fired a bunch of people. Only movie Searchlight put out this year was a flaming hot Cheeto movie.

You’re also not part of the team that decided how much the deal was worth.
