I don't see DIS scooping up WBD due to the debt load. It would almost double their long term debt and not generate enough of a return to justify it. I can see AAPL or AMZN doing it though. They can pay cash straight away to retire all of the debt without blinking.

It definitely feels like Zaslav has a vision for what is quality streaming, TV and film entertainment. And rather than letting things ride from the former leadership, he's tearing the Band-Aid off while cleaning house and cutting costs to meet investor acquisition commitments.

But man, is it going to be a painful first few years to get there. Though with the dual DC partnership they may clearly branch off from any other releases and do their roadmap.

I believe its inevitable. Eventually, the moviegoing public will grow tired of the superhero genre.... (seen any good westerns or Mafia movies lately?).   Thats when the studios will join forces to milk the last few drops of their properties.  

We must be at or very close to 'peak superhero' by now!

One every couple of years is a big difference from the ultra saturation I’m talking about.  Also I’m talking about the Italian Mafia genre, not just criminal / hitman / heist movies.

I’ll add Hell or Highwater to this list. Great modern western from the creator of Yellowstone.

Probably not. Marvel's heroes are nerfed heavy on film. Every JL character would outclass every Disney character, and they wouldn't like that.

It would make 5 billion dollars worldwide if it happened!
