The Hot Seat

MemberPraetorianAugust 09, 20174351 Views24 RepliesAccording to a previous topic, ’Alien Covenant (is) in the Hot Seat’ suggesting that Fox is facing financial problems due to the movie’s box office. So let’s try to find the balance again!
Original titles and lines from the articles in question:
’Fox Earnings Beat Expectations Despite $22-Million Loss in Film and Tv Division’
’The media conglomerate reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations while recording a loss at its filmed entertainment division due in part to lower revenue at its storied movie studio.’
’Fox is still awaiting British approval for its $14-billion bid to take control of Europe’s largest pay-TV company, Sky.’
‘21st Century Fox Earnings Beat Expectations, Revenues Miss’
’The company said its gains were attributable to profits in its cable operations, which helped offset weaker results in its film and broadcast television arms.’
’The emergence of digital MVPD services from Hulu, YouTube, and DirecTV Now, along with other skinny bundle services, has added 2 million-plus subscribers to 21st Century Fox’s cable networks.’
Let’s face the fake news agencies together! :)

“Fingers crossed for a Good Home Video Return..”
Personally, this is where I think the big money is now. I just hope I’m right on this one. I think too much focus has been spent on looking just at box office returns as a performance marker. I think that until the home video return comes in, any comments on AC’s success or failure have been premature. If I’m right about the home video returns being good, then I would say AC has actually been a success.
As you say, fingers crossed.
