Has he said that publicly? I can't find it.Brian Roberts has said he is willing to go as high as $85B.
True. I learned that at fandom conventions. I saw over and over how the buy it now price was cheaper than what it went for at the auctions at the end of the convention. Crazy.Bidding wars can get crazy. I've been to an auction for used printers and seen people bidding more than the cost new.
There goes Jar Jar.Under Construction. No. Planned? Maybe. Supposedly there are quite a few walk around characters planned. I could see a lot of that getting the axe.
To note, Bloomberg is seeming to suggest of the Possibility of Comcast just going after Sony's Film/Television departments, if Comcast fails to acquire 21CF.
With Fox, Comcast CEO Faces Biggest Decision Since NBC Deal - Bloomberg
Sure, but it's peanuts in comparison to Fox. Sony isn't really looking to sell off its film and TV divisions anytime soon.
Did Comcast or Disney try to get Time Warner before AT&T?
TW's CEO was basically shopping TW as a whole company. Apple, Amazon, AT&T, and Verizon were sniffing around before AT&T sealed the deal.Did Comcast or Disney try to get Time Warner before AT&T?
So say Disney gets Fox (and part of Sky). That would put Disney at 60% ownership of Hulu, but Comcast would still own 30%. Do you guys think we could see a Sky for Hulu (and maybe the distribution rights to Hulk?) swap if it turns out that way? It works out well for both companies.
Still think Comcast will make at least one higher bid: probably in the $42-44 range (right around $80 billion).I’m all for Comcast backing off now and just take sky’s 60 percent. This acts as a bargaining chip against your Hulu share. I think the price has gotten a little out of hand let disney have it as they need it more right now. Then you two flush out a deal between sky and Hulu; they take Hulu and have a streaming platform to distribute all content from(they desire) and Comcast takes sky a broadband cable provider(already have experience at). An actual win win. Now with all that money you didn’t have to spend well go get Sony/Columbia Spider-Man, Jumanji, MIB, Ghostbuster, etc rights come with. Some say they may not be looking to sell but at the right price they will. Remember Sony doesn’t need their entertainment division as there money makers are technology so they might be willing to part and at pennies on the dollar next to fox’s price. Or you can make a play at Viacom who will be very likely as their owning company(national amusements) has been trying to merge it with their other cbs corporation but with push back from them. Viacom could be swept up for a ballpark of around 13-15 billion and that gets you a massive channel selection and film rights like mission impossible, transformers(no more licensing), ninja turtles, heh top gun, and the nicholodeon brand/studios. Almost sounds like a bargain and for 60 billion dollars less. Just some food for thought is all
Also debt concerns wold alleviated quite a bit not altogether but 120 billion sounds better than 170-180
........Not really? I mean, Marvel has no plans to make a Hulk solo movie anytime soon, and considering Disney and Universal are working together on Glass, there isn't bad blood between the two studios.I don't know about Sky, but Comcast is in no position to give up the Hulk distribution rights; that would just embolden Disney a lot more if Disney successfully acquired Fox, and would make Comcast look so weak and easily gullible.
Still think Comcast will make at least one higher bid: probably in the $42-44 range (right around $80 billion).
If they add stock and remove cash, then I think they're in it to win it; otherwise if it's still all cash, I think they're just raising the amount Disney will pay (i.e. Disney adds more debt). I really don't think it's realistic for Comcast to aim for $200 billion in debt.
Then we'll see Comcast figure out if it wants to raise the price on Sky. I think for Comcast, even if it doesn't win the assets, if Disney ends up with $140-150 billion in total debt, that's a win for Comcast.
Comcast has no limitations. Fox scrapped their July 10 shareholder vote since they expect further bids.Just out of curiosity, how many more days does Comcast needs to bid? It says five days, but apparently I have forgotten for some time.
