Interesting development.
Maybe mods could rename the thread to āTakeovers and Mergersā.
Anyways, Comcast goes big on Sky in the UK.

Fox must now be aiming to keep Sky out of the Disney purchase (their 34% share was announced by Disney to be past of their purchase), why else would they be wanting to pursue aquiring it?
Universal Pictures (NBC Universal owned by Comcast) has the largest Hollywood/film market share.
Umm, no? In 2017, Disney is first with a 21% box office share, followed by Warner Brothers and then Universal.
Check your facts before posting please.

I was actually talking about the size of Universalās library (not box office sales) and that being a potential factor for Comcast.
Size isnāt everything.

You literally said market share. What does market share mean if not box office sales? Once again youāre just changing your argument after being caught out.
Universal might have more hours of content, but every hour of Universal content might be worth a fraction of what Disney content could demand.
