The deal for Disney to acquire most of Fox assets leaves
open the question whether 20th Century Fox, with its triumphant
fanfare, will continue to be a visible company in Hollywood, at least as a
production entity.
There’s the Wall Street Journal Story today.
Would Fox Searchlight survive? Several companies (largely Warner Brothers
and Paramount) seem to have stopped labeling their “independent” movies
separately.
Remember in 1953, with “The Robe”, there would follow, “A Cinemascope
picture”.
Update Dec. 14
Disney has announced its acquisition of 21st Century Fox, story by Yahoo. Disney will start its own streaming service in 2019 to compete with Netflix, which means many films won't be available on both. That sounds like a studio's answer to no net neutrality?
