That makes sense and moves me into the concerned categoryThis has been a rumor going on like 10 years now. Granted, with Apple having gotten into the streaming business, it makes sense to buy a studio for content like Amazon with MGM but I think they would buy someone smaller than Disney. I can't imagine they would want the parks business and would spin that off but the parks would instantly lose a ton of value with no connection to Disney studio.
Hmmm, I'm confused. Which Apple are you talking about? Obviously not the company that won the Oscar for Best Picture last year. Or the company that won the Emmy for Best Comedy Series last year. Or the company that just got 51 more Emmy nominations today. Which Apple is the company that knows zilch about entertainment?Disney is an entertainment company something Apple has 0 experience with.
This would be insanity for all except Apple. The parks would go under within 5 years.I could see Apple buying TWDC, keep the studios for content, and then spin off the theme parks. Potentially, a foreign buyer like Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. Apple has already invested with Saudi-backed funds and the PIF has partnered with Foxconn (which assembles Apple products). There is some history there.
I didn't say it was a good idea or something I want to happen. I just wouldn't be surprised that something like this could happen or would happen. Seems possible, sadly.This would be insanity for all except Apple. The parks would go under within 5 years.
I do see a huge value add to the parks from the tech side of Apple. Something they've been sorely missing for decades.
This rumor comes and goes. It seems to be on the rise again like it was 10 years ago but that too fizzled out.
Being a long time fan and stockholder of TWDC, how would I feel if it happened?........one word..........SAD
