Perhaps facing reality head on is the most honest way to try to escape it.

    2. Luckily, WB only has a license for the movies. They have to listen to the Tolkien estate.

  5. End of an era.
    feels like the end of real cinema. A whole legacy built on storytelling, craft, and bold filmmaking is giving way to a more commercial, Sad to witness such a beautiful chapter close.

    1. Remark: they have no one to blame but themselves. No film company actually embraces their fandom anymore.

      Delete
    2. agree. They stopped listening to the very people who kept them alive. As someone once said, “real cinema dies the moment the market starts choosing the stories.”
      And it feels like we’re watching that play out in real time.

      Delete
    3. Statement: it is crazy that the fix is so simple but their own huberous of thinking they know better killed them. They are so very stupid and it's pathetic.

  8. Wild outcome, especially after these three wild what-ifs before Netflix IPO’d in 2002:

    ▫️Bezos offered $12m to buy it
    ▫️Bernard Arnault saved it with a $30m check
    ▫️Blockbuster laughed off a $50m chance to by the DVD deliver service

    1. RIP blockbuster

    2. Bezos started his own lol. Doesn't slap nearly as hard and you have to pay for everything. I like how Netflix doesn't have paid movies. Shits such a scam, on top of your sub fee. Lmao.

      Delete
    3. It's poetic: The aggressive content-hoarding that was meant to dethrone Netflix helped weaken the traditional studios financially, forcing consolidation on terms that favor the disruptor they tried to disrupt. Hollywood really shot themselves in the foot with their greed! 🤣

    11. Those people have mad money!!! Streaming services pays really good

      Delete
    12. They could have used some debt leverage backing it up with their business plans and potential revenue stream for the acquisition. Netflix Financials has shown a decline in revenue for some years now but customers prefer the stream giants to other movie distributors. This acquisition would expand their revenue stream and increase their subscriber counts as well as add to their employee talent pool. It is a good business decision.

    15. I understand you but the financing of the deal is not like Netflix will carry that money from the account finance the acquisition

      You can check the details below: it’s an easy acquisition if the company is structured well.

    59. Barely 10 years ago, they were fighting to stay afloat due to not making enough profit. This acquisition is wild.

      Delete
    60. They make 6B dollars every month from their subscriptions… per year it’s like 72B… they are richer than Apple.

      What they do requires much less spending than Apple.

    66. Bro, and thereby acquiring Warner Bros. Sub-companies HBO Max too.
      That’s like double acquisition. That’s proper money!
      No wonder they spent in billions.
      WB has been here since the ‘90s, when did Netflix come?

      Delete
    67. You're right bro deffs but the year was 1923 that's how long they've been been around

      Delete
    68. Warner is undervalued. Their properties individually are worth more than the whole. The problem is bad management and stupid cost cutting measures

      Delete
    69. Use your google and be surprised. They've been there, they weren't just popular... If you're asking about when did they become popular, then it's okay

      Delete
    70. They’re collecting $20 a month from 300,000 million people.. do the math

      Delete
    71. 300 million not 300 thousand.

      Delete
    72. Because where are you getting 82 billion dallaarrrssssss from???????

      Delete
    73. Last I checked, Netflix can gross like $2 Billion per month off of subscriptions, that was a while ago, price increases definitely bumped that money up, also they spent like $18 Billion on Productions this year... Ad revenue as well...All the hype made them qualify.

      Delete
    74. Stranger things and Squid game alone are more famous than some $

      Delete
    75. Fame Yess... Monitary? This is where streaming is challenging...They pay a handsome fee, but keep all the rights from Merch and other liscenceing deals... They wanna restructure this though.

      Delete
    76. Remember Box office or TV was great, I mean ad space was valuable so that could pay people more, box office, movie breaks well above even and everybody gets royalties and bonuses... Netflix though... I mean all tied into a Subscription fee for all content, not just one show.

      Delete
    77. So even if your show got a bigger budget it can still be out performed by a lower budget show in terms of views... Shows were paid differently of course. So what model can they use?

      Delete
    78. Same here. Didn't know Netflix has the capacity to buy Warner bros. I thought it was the reverse.

      Delete
    79. By faith 🙏🏻😂

      Delete
    80. Netflix has over 300 million subscribers worldwide. Also no revenue lost or spent on amusement parks, cable TV channels, other networks, cruise ships, retail stores, music publishing, etc. Just streaming and streaming only.

      Delete
    81. Now Netflix owns multiple theme parks around the world thanks to Warner. I wonder if the Bedfordshire theme park due to open in 2031 will still go ahead 🤔

    85. Not just money money, Netflix won the bidding with a cash offer to Warner bros 🤣

      That’s some crazy stuff

      Delete
    86. Netflix market cap is $425 Billion. That’s more than twice the market cap of the entire Walt Disney company, and Netflix doesn’t own any theme parks, tv networks, or sports teams. It’s an unbelievably wealthy company.

      Delete
    87. Take am play fess

      Delete
    88. Even if they do have that kind of money do you even think they’ll buy Warner bros with their money they have access to huge amounts of loan so they don’t necessarily need to use their money

      Delete
    89. They didn't buy the whole warner bros oh. They bought Warner bros discovery. It is more like a branch of Warner bros. But Netflix has money Sha.

      Delete
    90. They wrote off 200 crores rs for a Bahubali sequel as sunk cost

      Delete
    91. Major shares I think

      Delete
    92. Netflix: Nooooo you don't understand, we need to raise the price of the service, put ads and forbid password sharing in order to keep producing content.

      Also Netflix: lemme just spend a small country's GDP to aquire WB lol.

      Delete
    93. Netflix is flexing its financial muscle 💪 $83 billion dollar to buy Warner Bros

      Serious brass in their pocket!!!

      Elon’s PR stunt to hurt Netflix backfired.

      Delete
    94. Or it worked , so they had to buy warnerbros as collateral

      Delete
    95. Clearly you don't understand how big businesses work. They don't just buy it like you go to the market and buy groceries. There would be heavy taxing on that huge sum of money. They work their way around it, like loaning money to buy it. You can't tax loaned money

      Delete
    96. I mean they’ve been netting multi billions a year for the last 6 years…. Not that much of a shocker fr + they didn’t pay all 89 at once lolzzzz

      Delete
    97. how did you know they had money?

      Delete
    98. We tend to overlook those small details in sales

      Person wey dey make pure water & clock in steady 75K per truck can take out a loan & have solid repayment plan cos of their stable production & sales

      Same as Netflix, the steady subscriptions revenues pile up on the long run

      Delete
    99. It’s insane, but hey we’re gonna be having some pretty good movies on the app. I just hope they don’t increase the charges

      Delete
    100. You dey whine streaming money!? 😂🤌🏾

      Delete
    101. Well the concept of money is flawed. Think of how Elon bought Twitter. Not with his actual money. Read the fine prints of this particular Netflix deal: Three banks provided 59 Billion Dollars.

    102. we about getting extorted

    103. They’re worth 440 billion, what do you expect??

  15. How can the giant Warner Bros. be bought by a company that doesn't even understand movies? It's always the same.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Netflix sucks.
    Compared to traditional film studios, they have an insanely high ratio of putting out garbage.

    That said, it sounds like WB will be bought out by someone just like MGM was and it's pretty sad to imagine.
