Pollingis showing Americans are feeling very bullish right now on the economy.

Hope you enjoy your large tax return and lower withholdings in your current pay checks.

Polling released yesterday buddy

Iran was bombed a few days ago, all these changes to important markets happened basically overnight, polls released yesterday were likely sampled in February at the earliest

I know not many here are probably as in tune with the entertainment industry market, but this is fucking terrible

I don't understand how Paramount's board OK'd the purchase sidling them with hundreds of billions of debt to acquire a company that has a ton of IP, but not thath much. I'ts not Disney or Nintendo. It's Looney Tunes and DC and that's about it.

Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, LOTR

THey don't own LotR IP. They own the films. The IP is still owned by Tolkien estate which is why Amazon got Rings of Power.

Game of Thrones isn't a massive IP, maybe it gets there. But no one is buying GoT toys and playing GoT Video Games.

WB only has film, game, tv, and merch rights for Harry Potter, not charaacter rights. But JK Controls books and characters.
