Well, you have two major, highly diversified companies trying to engage in a $110 billion merger.
That would be the largest deal of its kind in the history of Hollywood.
And they have been longtime competitors.
And now all of a sudden will be merged into one company.
That will give them negotiating power in specific markets that will extinguish competition and allow them to dictate terms with movie theaters when it comes to two of the markets, distribution of wide release theatrical films and distribution of top grossing theatrical films.
And it will also give them incredible negotiating power when it comes to licensing of basic cable channels to cable companies.
They will have 50 of the most sought after cable channels worldwide.
in the nation, and they will be able to raise prices, dictate terms with cable companies.
That means higher prices for people who have satellite or cable TV, higher prices at movie theaters.
So it is exactly the type of thing that we have seen historically and that you'd expect to see when competition goes away.
