So far this year, according to box office mojo, there have been 638 movies released. Disney and Fox have combined for 19 of those movies. That is 2% of the total and hardly market dominance. The fact to which people go to watch the 19 movies vs the other 619 has to do with the content and...

I was thinking about outside the US as Hulu expands, but point well taken.

I think the $1.95 Billion is in debt (therefore total value is $4.15B). I am sure Disney has Endemol Shine signed up with Hulu for long-term streaming rights as well, so this appears to be a great deal for the Mouse-House.

You might be interested in the video starting at about 7 minutes, Bob Iger talks about Tom Holland's involvement in the latest deal between Disney and Sony.... Very interesting

Yes, and with all they can say Grace over with 21CF, I doubt they would want anything but the Spiderverse.

If Men in Black is under a license agreement, like Spider-man, then the same condition (let the contract lapse) could occur. I have not heard anything about that licensing agreement and if it has a termination date. As for Ghostbusters, I now think you are in an acquisition mode, and inviting...
