Reuters reports Disney and Comcast are now in talks to hire an investment bank that will independently value Hulu.

The difference between the two valuations is about $12B. So, even using the highest valuation, Disney would be on the hook for paying Comcast another $3B. It could also mean nothing more if the third valuation was at the minimum.

And remember, it is not valued as of today but as of the date they made the agreement. It already appears for all the smoke that Hastings was blowing, the value is not going to that much higher -- whatever value is decided Comcast gets one third minus of course whatever they already were paid. So on the high end it could be 3B, Hastings was making noises back in a day they could be getting 10+ billion more. Looks like he was drawing to an inside straight and we gamblers all know what happens in that case LOL.

Yeah, but they killed their film division to turn a slight profit (on paper). They robbed Peter to make sure Paul was barely not-starving.

This could be Disney's make or break moment.

They have failed so tremendously over the past 5 to 10 years while Universal has gained ground and is building incredible excitement over what they're doing. Disney on the other hand is bleeding loyalty and customers. Their movies are now predicted to almost universally flop, with a few exceptions, whereas just several years ago it was a near guarantee that any main line Disney movie/pixar, etc would gross near 1 billion. They've ruined the Marvel movies, which are on a steep decline. They've nearly killed the Star Wars franchise, a brand which is also on a somewhat mind-boggling descent into irrelevance.

If one didn't know better, it would seem as though they've purposely tried to destroy their own company and image.

They're also extremely lucky that they have not had a legal action brought against them by shareholders...yet.
