And I've heard some interesting theories about what would happen if Disney found a way to save ESPN this year:Disney is having a remarkable year, on course for a record setting $7.6 Billion in global box office. One major Key to this success has been acquiring other companies with valuable IP and maximizing the growth and revenue potentials. Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm all came into the Disney corporate fold and all signs point toward the advisability of a couple of new big moves by Disney to further expand their holdings, build a bigger catalogue of new properties to exploit, have their own streaming content with the largest possible audience as directly as possible and finding a way to Rescue ESPN from a slide that continues to be the one small drag on the company's stock and performance overall. The solution to all  of these needs is simple but immense: Disney should buy Netflix, Paramount and Sony. Tall Order? You bet it is, And I'm not saying it would be cheap or easy to accomplish, or that I think it's destined to transpire. But IF any company is positioned to pull if off in order to reap the enormous benefits, it's Disney. It's funny how life works sometimes.

Just one year later, and we know that... 1) Disney is NOT buying Netflix, but starting it's own streaming service 2) Also NOT buying Sony or Paramount, but bought freaking FOX (!!!) 3) Meanwhile Sony got not a bad year themselves, thanks to the success of Homecoming & Jumanji 4) Venom movie is actually coming out this year, so no, he won't be a villain in a Spidey movie
