Here's Why Disney Would Want a Big Piece of Fox
Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) has built its recent success on the back of the intellectual property (IP) it owns. Since the company spent $7.4 billion buying Pixar, and $4 billion each for Marvel and LucasFilm, it has had unparalleled success at the box office. Disney has been able to take the guesswork out of making hit movies.
Disney has shown that content -- at least the right content -- can drive an entire business. It has also shown that in the right hands, good IP can be even more effective and that's why it makes sense that it would want to buy 21st Century Fox's (NASDAQ: FOXA) (NASDAQ: FOX) film and television studios.
