Who should buy DC?
>>156256839The daily wire please I wanna laugh more in the upcoming years
Me
>>156256839Netflix I guess.
>>156256839Elon Musk
>Warner Bros sells DCOk who the fuck would they even have left then. Harry Potter rights?They have great animation but that is very niche as is
>>156256839Image
>>156256839>Enty>the guy who made shit uphttps://www.vulture.com/article/enty-lawyer-crazy-days-and-nights-john-nelson.htmlYou may as well listen to Doomcock or Cosmic Book News instead
Universal/ComcastNot even because of the film potential. But because the theme park potential from an IP they would own is so lucrative.They'd also want to pick up Looney Tunes for this
>>156258781Unfortunately Looney Tunes theme park rights are stuck with Six Flags until....the fifties of this century. So Universal wouldn't gain that.
>>156256839You sent that "blind item" to him, didn't you, OP.
>>156258804Only in places where six flags has parks, so not florida. But yes hollywood.
>>156256839Saudi Arabia
>>156256839Universal, final answer.
>>156256839TencentI don't know much about them other than they buy stuff
>>156258835When you realize /tv/ has been sending fake blinds to Enty it gets funnier when the Enty/CDAN followers fall for it every time
>>156256839Someone send this thread to Rich Johnston and see if he'll talk about it
>>156256839Wasn't it just reported that nobody at DC was fired because the comics are making a lot of money now and doing better than other WB departments?
>>156258702Warner Bros is going under slowly but surely. It's inevitable that DC gets sold.
>>156256839Marvel
>>156259358See>>156258716>>156259270Entylawyer on twitter is a guy who makes shit up and gets fooled by blinds sent by people from /tv/Like I would believe Doomcock before I would believe this guy
>the Boomer Truth Regime is collapsingWow, Occulturation was right!
>>156256839Should piece it out until Fawcett, Charleton, and Wildstorm are all independent companies again.
>>156258781Imagine Universal just redresses Marvel Island, they don't make any new attractions, they just replace all the Marvel pictures for DC ones.
>>156259358It’s a rumour
>>156256839they'll free debt from laying off staff and outsourcing to angel studios or daily wire lmao
>>156259358The Ellisions are ideological, they don't care if it tanks as long as right wing stooges are in it. The people in DC will be fired
>>156256839>$100B debt>Selling DC ComicsIt's worth $100M at most.It's the movie and merchandising licenses that are valuable.
>>156256839Marvel, just to finish the cycle in complete irony.Then both should die.
>>156260000>QuadsThe interest on 100B is 5B+/year nowAdd salaries and production costs on that to break even
>>156260011>Believing a rumor from a guy who makes up rumors or believes fake ones sent from /tv/I think you may be a smoothbrain
>>156260037You can see what they did with CBS, they fired all of the centrist employees just to place a right wing DEI hire who allows ai generated hoaxes as editor. They don't really care for quality and ratings.
>>156260061Skydance will fuck up and in the worst-case scenario maybe end up Skydead as a company but the idea of them trying to sell off a section of the company that gets them money in ways other than film/TV right now is ridiculous. If they need to sell DC they'd have to sell everything else off of Paramount and WB in the process.
>>156256839Would Disney be allowed to buy DC? Or would it be better for Disney to simply take DC's characters when they are public domain?
>>156260198They’re not going to do it immediately but their debt is so massive and the worth of Skydance is something like less than half of what WBD/Paramount was so the likelihood of a firesale type of deal of certain assets in the next decade is high. If DC movies don’t make bank (and why would they? The brand has struggled for a decade and Ellisons are not winning people over) then there will come a time when it makes more sense to sell than trying to make profit from something that’s not working
>>156256839Disney.
>>156260248Under Trump? Yes. Under another neoliberal administration? Maybe. I think if democrats are in power, you could see more Lena Khan types taking over the regulatory system and be against the type of anti-competitive, constant consolidation that’s been rampant since Reagan. People are sick of things getting shittier as competition becomes nonexistent and people keep getting laid off in droves just because one big corporation decided to buy its competition and now cuts labour costs to the bone
>>156260252In the next decade seems a little more plausible, but again Skydance as a whole has a shitload more stuff to sell off before they sell off DC. The alleged rumor from a guy known for making shit up is trying to sound like "they fired Gunn and Safran so they can sell off DC soon" which is not how this works
>>156260258Scary thing is Democrats won so they would support Disney buying DC. I would be happy with Disney because it would help them die as they don't know how to handle a brand like Batman.
>>156256839Universal>>156256928They can't afford it.
>>156258781>>156258804And by then, the iconic characters and their designs would all be public domain anyway.
>>156260277Obviously they’re going to sell other things too if it comes to it. I was talking more from the perspective that selling DC makes sense because the DC movie IPs aren’t that big of a profit generator currently and consistently haven’t been that outside of handful of exceptions outside of Batman movies for decades now. So when/if their new reboot/softboot/whatever fails, they are not going to treat DC as some major asset they can’t sell. Financially it’s a drain with flops so the potential that’s there wouldn’t stop selling if Skydance desperately need to sell parts of themselves in order to pay their debts
>>156256839Netflix
>>156256839>Who should buy DC? Me. I should.
>>156260011Good. Those same people about to be fired made it an ideological battle in the first place
>>156258781>>156258804They don't have rights in Florida for either DC or Looney Tunes IIRCEven then they might buy out the rights totally from Six Flags who has heavy debt
>>156256839>batman goes into public domain in 2034honestly what would even be the point when the biggest cash cow will be copied by everyone not even 10 years from now (and joker will join him, by 2036)>>156260258only realistic answer imo, that would legitimize them to reboot everything from zero and hopefully doing it in a competent way like they did with marvel>>156260012I assume it's all included, how the fuck could you sell the comics rights but not the movies'?
>>156260258>DC characters in Rivals>DCU running parallel with MCU culminating in the Secret Crisis
>>156260258This.
>>156257005>>156258683GOD NO
>>156256839>/co/ is so stupid that it falls for obvious fake news.
>>156263192Musk would be a great option if he actually poured money into the ip and got some passionate people to help him out
>>156263450musk is a narcissistic midwit who doesn't actually care about anything fun and would turn the entire IP into another marketing campaign to get people to like himi hate DC so i hope he buys it
>>156263450Musk would make AI Batman like he did with the Odyssey
>>156256839Wouldn't it be funny if Disney buys it?
>>156263211It's probably Enty himself trying to draw attention to his own tweet, he has a group of gullible followers always there to respond
>>156263465>musk is a narcissistic midwit who doesn't actually care about anything fun and would turn the entire IP into another marketing campaign to get people to like himso just like gunn then
>>156263465>>156263540And it will still be better than what Gunn and woketards have done with capeshit
>>156264058That's what you said about Musk's Odyssey compared to Nolan's Odyssey
>>156264089You must have me confused with somebody else. I'm suggesting he actually invest money into a real production
>>156256839Hopefully Elon Musk so he de-wokefies DC, just look at twitter nowadays. It used to be tumblr refugee camp up until Elon bought it and fired all the Karens and now you see threads from 2016-2020 /pol/
>>156264217this must be AI
>>156258781Are theme park rights really more lucrative than global film rights? Seems like the opposite would be true.
Even if the rumor is true, i don't think Sundance would make bank. Maybe 6 billion, 9b tops.
>>156264267They would be. Disney makes more money from their theme parks than they would from international box office.
