Like we we were declaring the death of
voice-verified
the movie theaters and the box office and in-person experiences in general, not that long ago.
voice-verified
And I think you you can trace a lot of these decisions these companies are making kind of back to that.
voice-verified
But the this there is this resurgence in people wanting to have big, exciting, high budget shared experiences right next to this just clear race to the bottom from all of the streaming services.
voice-verified
And it'll be interesting to see if anybody can pick themselves out up of that, which is an accidentally great segue into what is going on with Paramount.
voice-verified
Because one of the so the the thing that's happening right now is Paramount is trying to buy Warner Brothers Discovery, um, in a in an effort to, as Neilai keeps saying, tank the company as everyone does who tries to buy Time Warner or anything like it.
voice-verified
But David Ellison, the the CEO of Paramount, um has been running around to everyone who will listen throughout this whole process saying, My goal is to make bigger, better, more expensive stuff.
voice-verified
We're expanding the slate of movies that we're making.
voice-verified
We're going to not join this race to the bottom where everybody's trying to be TikTok and YouTube, but we are going to
voice-verified
be and save Hollywood all by ourselves.
voice-verified
Um, and overwhelmingly it seems every time any US regulator or judge is confronted with this, they say, No, thank you.
voice-verified
We are not interested in this.
voice-verified
The latest news was uh that basically this this deal has been halted.
voice-verified
It's gonna go to trial over over some of the questions about the the antitrust implications of all of this.
voice-verified
And that trial has been set
voice-verified
to begin next March, which is a long time from now, and it's a particularly long time if you are paramount, and what you agreed to do is start paying what's called a ticking fee,
voice-verified
If the deal doesn't close by September thirtieth, which I will remind you is well before March of twenty twenty seven.
voice-verified
I think it's a good idea.
voice-verified
You should read the quote.
