Maybe that was just to keep from reusing the same word, but I'm not sure. The article later says that Universal isn't ready to throw in the towel, but maybe they are saying Universal is open to going neutral.

Yes. That is exactly what that are saying.

Neutral today. But probably exclusive by spring or summer.

Either way... once they go Neutral, they are never going back.

Finally Bourne on Blu!!
