Yeah same, there has to be some type of anti-Monopoly law against it. Just take Fantastic Four and be happy Disney.

I agree. I also have to question the legality of it.

Yeah am not sure if this is good for the movie business. Sure I like seeing Fantastic Four back at Marvel, but I rather they just only get the rights to that.

There are, but this deal does not apply since there would still be many other studios producing movies.

Paramount's market value is so low (I read something like 4-5 billion...Viacom paid 8.2 billion in 1994 dollars) that it's only a matter of time before someone snatches them up. Apple, Netflix, Amazon, etc. have that much money in their sofa cushions.

Yeah but you don't wish you were autistic after reading them. He could have just said 68 billion, and here is a link. I was expecting what Fox properties had to offer, and then I got ads for Viagra, Worst SW deaths, and Kim Kardashian just woke and said "THIS"

I should know better

Marks posts are always the equivalent of a drunk uncle you haven't seen in 5 years, and you're like "All right I'll take a chance"

Why is this in Cinemania? This has box office implications all over...

Think Marvel, Blue Sky, Avatar, Fox Searchlight and so on...

Was Blue Sky mentioned in the press release? I didn’t see it and assume that means it’s fate has yet to be decided.
