Sony Stock Soars Amid Investor Speculation That Film, TV Business Might Wind Up On The Block

Wall Street observers say the stock movement is a sign of investor speculation that this changing of the guard might open the door to a sale of Sony’s entertainment assets.

Unlike Fox, I don't really care what happens to Sony.

Sony usually ****s up. They have some decent films, but that wouldn't help.

Let Disney buy 'em out. It'd do wonders for future Marvel movies.

I don't think it would matter either way. If Sony sells themselves to another company, the Spider-Man film rights will automatically expire anyway.

Let me explain to you why this can’t and will never happen at any point in the future:

Universal can’t buy Sony’s assets, people. Universal is owned by Comcast, the biggest media company in the world. Bigger than Disney. They have their own cable and internet services. It would fall into intense anti-trust concerns and would be blocked immediately.

Time Warner (WB) is undergoing a buyout as we speak, provided it hasn’t been officially blocked yet.

Viacom (Paramount) is already considering merging CBS with Lionsgate. Priorities.

Disney can’t do this. If the Fox merger takes place, that’s it for them. The DoJ will not let something like this happen again.

Other companies, such as Verizon, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, etc could potentially take it provided they do sell but who the heck is saying they’re that interested?

So quit posting rumours and speculations and learn the verisimilitude.

Rumor. Disney buys them all. Puts them all behind a pay wall.
