This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]540929[/split]
Oh, I most certainly think they care about theme park rights. Those theme parks are mountains of money for each company and new rides bring people in droves. Open a new Spider-Man ride in Disney, people from all over the world will book vacations yesterday.
Anything in Disney will get people going to visit them. They don't need Marvel in Orlando, but they certainly would want. They are just not gonna overpay for it. As Willie said this would be a thrown in to the bigger fish in the acquisition.
It's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. They care but it's not that big a deal. And they can have Marvel lands everywhere in the world outside of Orlando.
At this point, I just want this to be over. I hope Disney and Comcast come to some sort of agreement. Which would benefit us
Looks like Comcast is trying to ruin Disney's plans of getting X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool movie rights back from Fox https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...-to-buy-21st-century-fox-and-control-of-hulu/

I don't think Disney will budge. They won't be bullied off the deal after an agreement has been made.
If someone outbids you by a large enough amount then not budging means you lose (unless the regulators save you).
I mean they aren't just going to take their ball and go home. They'll dig in. I'm sure they've already got multiple strategies in place for the Comcast bid.
Disney won't ever give up Hulu since they still have Marvel characters which aren't family friendly like Ghost Rider, Blade and Moon Knight.
Disney also have R-rated films like Pretty Woman and Con Air. They won't let Comcast outbid them.
Will a bidding war slow down the process even if Disney wins?

Fox would love Disney's stock because Disney's stock bids is tax-free.
Comcast's cash offer would be regulatory taxed by the government.
In other words, Comcast's $60 billion cash offer compared to Disney's $52 billion stocks isn't as much as you would think it is.
Fox already declined Comcast's higher offer back in December. This is more on Comcast now putting out a front not to get embarrassed like they did when their stocks fell in December, at least trying to show the world they have the money and can buy Fox.
And we haven't even talked about how much harder it would be for a Comcast-Fox deal would be passed by Congress.
