The problem with streaming services, let's say I want to watch the 1947 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, and this is what I get, 'this title is no longer available.' This is why we need to pushback against Disney as hard as possible, and keep physical media alive.
Wow! This bit of an interview was many things all at once... Informative, surprising, validating, and sad... among a lot of other things. I appreciate this one a lot, Heath. Thank you.
Same thing happened here at the WB. They gradually have taken away our employee screenings. We have a 600 seat theatre and they used to have multiple screenings on Wednesday , the day before the films were to come out.
That’s a bummer!
Gonna miss that old Fox logo
Why did Disney buy Fox and not maintain the Fox content?
Because they wanted the rights to the IP, not the old catalog
Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox included certain assets but not the Fox channel nor Fox Sports (Detroit Fox Sports or whatever the network was called. Was sold to Sinclair Broadcasting Group). Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Ant think of many properties thriving after being purchased by Disney. The kiss of death
What bothers me about the Disney Fox deal is that Disney now owns an entire studios catalog. They own All About Eve, they own, My Darling Clementine, Oklahoma, The Sand Pebbles, The Shirley Temple movies, The French Connection. They own this stuff, and they are ignoring it. Nothing. Not even on streaming.
A sad day for film fans and the films themselves.
I kinda wonder if we’ll eventually see a streaming equivalent of the Paramount Decree. These studio-owned streamers seem to be both a money pit and anticompetitive. Pushing out the employees with both historical and institutional knowledge is incredibly short sighted, but unsurprising. Makes me dread what’s going to happen to Paramount regardless of who buys it.
I had lots of great experiences with 20th’s Australian physical and digital customer service prior to the merger. Once they were bought, that all vanished. And now Disney has ceased trading physical media here, so you have to import. Those recent Marvel & Star Wars releases are insanely expensive to import (nearly $170AUD for Obi Wan Kenobi) and none of those titles have been released to buy digitally here.
I’m a believer that streaming, digital storefront and physical media can coexist, but the people making the big decisions don’t seem to have much vision regarding how that could work.
Okay employees - please go home and stream our latest project on your tiny phone! Thanks for caring!
Fans rejoiced when Disney acquired Fox. But even now barely featured X-Men and
FF. Monopoly is less jobs for people and less choice for customers. What shame.
You only mention X-Men and F4 when those are the two properties Disney is actively using right now and arguably more than how Fox has been using them in the previous years.
Acquired in 2019. Now is 2024.
I'm a big comic book fan and I love both The X-Men and the Fantastic Four, but Fox is so much more than a few comic book characters. They had one of the oldest, richest legacies in Hollywood, going back to 1935. The studio created so much movie magic, it would be impossible to even list the highlights here. Over 80 years of some of the greatest movies ever made featuring some of the biggest movie stars to have ever appeared on screen. And now so many of those movies have simply vanished.
Yes, it was a rich legacy including Searchlight with quality indy stuff.
Watch the full episode with this interview - it's very informative.
Informative and necessary to hear but just so, so depressing.
So with that Sony/Disney deal, we're not getting Fox's back catalog? Pretty much what I expected.
Since April 2019, I’m not really comfortable with 20th Century Fox being Disney property. I believe Fox Corporation would be a better home for 20th Century Fox (And I’m still believing). What do you think?
Disney shouldn’t have bought Fox from square one
Fox and all of it’s assets and IP are all better off without Disney
the Fox deal was doomed to fail and spelled disaster from square one
What happened to 20th Center Fox?
They were purchased and shut down by Disney.
Disney ruining everything they touch nuff said
Disney should have just let Fox operate as it’s own studio and stay out of creative process. Disney likes to pretend Fox is a separate studio but we all know Fox has to abide by certain rules made by Disney.
Snuffing out Fox was their agenda.
All I can say is that this purchase was a BUST.
