Disney Selling To Apple a Very Real Possibility says Analysts
The recent rumors that Disney might be planning to sell to Apple were dismissed as nonsense by most but Us here at the CBC believe it will happen and now a new report from THR now suggests that Bob Iger may actually be considering it as an option.
Analysts believe that Iger may now be "contemplating a once-unthinkable option," and they wouldn't be surprised if a deal went through "within the next three years." Despite the fact that the idea of a massive and insanely profitable studio like Disney selling off its assets may seem unbelievable, Iger may now be "contemplating a once-unthinkable option." Iger has "never faced more stress," according to the trade's sources, and even though Apple does not appear particularly interested in purchasing a studio right now, that could change very quickly.
“There will end up being three or four platforms and everybody else gets hollowed out and acquired,” says one industry veteran. “There will be Apple, Amazon, Netflix and one other. If you could put NBCUniversal, Warners and Paramount together, you probably have enough to survive.” SOURCE
