Reply to comment by KumagawaUshio in Was the fox buyout worth it for Disney? by CardiologistOwn5612

Yes, and now they have a VAST array of incredibly popular Fox properties to make new content with, and the merchandising that comes with it, for the rest of time.

What incredibly popular 21st Century Fox properties?

Looking at $100+ million domestic grossing 20th Century Fox films since 2008

Disney already bought Star Wars and Marvel.

Independence Day 2 crashed and burned.

The Taken, Die Hard, Alien and Predator franchises have been milked to death.

Blue Sky got shutdown.

Dreamworks animations distribution deal ended, and they got bought by Universal.

The Alvinn and the Chipmunks licence ended and is up for sale (Paramount is the expected buyer).

That leaves Avatar, Planet of the Apes and Night at the Museum.
