    Where is the expansion to Marvel Super Hero Island that insiders said was coming? And when is Storm ride reopening?

    Reading through this thread: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/disney-and-universal-working-on-marvel-deal-for-florida.898650/ I saw a lot of posts from some - I believe - known insiders saying Universal was working on expansion, new rides, etc for Marvel Super Hero Island at IOA that were...

    The Integration of Fox into the Disney Corporate Family: Parks, Movies, IPs, Studios

    I will post this here since I know some people care about the Hulk movie rights with Universal. If this is too OT let me know and I'll ask a mod to remove the post. I was searching for Fox's agreement with Universal on theme park rights for the Simpsons and may have bumped into the Marvel...

    Disney stock...

    If, and this is a big if, Hulu, ESPN+, and especially Disney+ has had a surge this past quarter similar to Netflix then expect a jump on DIS stock like NFLX is having today.

    The Muppet Show on Disney+ Starting Feb 19, 2021

    I didn't think they had the distribution rights to that show.

    Disney's Streaming Services: Disney+ (and Hulu, ESPN+, Star, & hotstar)

    I don't think they ever said each episode would be 1 hour long. It's for the best IMO. Shows historically had a specific runtime due to TV commercials. In the age of streaming that is no longer necessary. Mandalorian has been great with each episode having just the required runtime that the...

    Disney's Next Acquisition Speculation / Discussion

    Sure, with incentives anything is possible. Allow Disney to release Disney+ in China without having to go through a 3rd party, or mainly controlling it, then they'll build a resort wherever the Chinese government wants. India would be major, but land in the desirable metropolitan areas in India...

    Disney's Next Acquisition Speculation / Discussion

    I'm skeptical of your source because I don't know your record. Furthermore anyone can say what you just said lol. "Wait until official announcement" then something happens and one can go like, "that's what I was hinting at!" and if never gets announced one can say that it's still in the works or...

    Disney's Next Acquisition Speculation / Discussion

    1) Sony wouldn't go for that trade 2) MGM is not the sole owner of the Bond franchise, so whoever buys them will still have to deal with EON and Danjaq 3) Buying MGM is a worse acquisition target than SPE

    Sony & MARVEL are friends again; Spider-Man is back in the MCU

    I certainly can and hence why I replied that there would be better targets. As you stated, you agree with that. The comparison is not a good one and when CMCSA made a counterbid to buy FOX that was actually brought up multiple times on why CMCSA could have a worse leverage than DIS. It's...

    Sony & MARVEL are friends again; Spider-Man is back in the MCU

    I am not trying to debate you, I'm replying to your assertion that - and I'm paraphrasing here - "maybe in the next couple of years they'd be in a better position to make a run at buying SPE". You can compare whatever you want btw, but it's not an apt comparison to compare telecom company's...

    Sony & MARVEL are friends again; Spider-Man is back in the MCU

    CMCSA and T having current bad leverages and high debt has nothing to do with the debate at hand, so not sure what that has to do with anything. Furthermore comparing debt to equity ratio of IP providers to media companies is not really apples to apples. If and when Disney gets back to...

    Sony & MARVEL are friends again; Spider-Man is back in the MCU

    We have already disagreed on if the rights revert, so no need to revisit that topic. The other poster mentioned Disney gaining franchises such as Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Uncharted, TLOU, et.al. which are under SIE, not SPE, which would imply a full acquisition of SNE. Regardless I also...

    Sony & MARVEL are friends again; Spider-Man is back in the MCU

    That would be a horrible idea, actually. While some franchises have some real good potential long term, others do not. Resident Evil also is owned by Capcom and Sony cannot mine it for merchandise and licensing. Same with Smurfs and Cloudy, both of which are owned by 3rd parties. Sony also is in...

    Disney' market cap hits 300 billion

    Speaking of that if Disney can hit their numbers (230 to 260MM for Disney+) plus ESPN+ and Hulu then it stands to reason that the market value for Disney+ alone would be worth something similar to what NFLX would be at that time. Add to that Disney's other businesses that are bound to have a...
