Post acquisitions, a greater percentage of Disney’s assets will be


based in the movie and television industry, at a time when the
industry is facing various challenges.
By this deal, Disney will gain control over Hulu, which is currently
not making any profits and has a significant burn rate.
Due to this being a horizontal merger, a lot of HR redundancies are
expected. An estimated 4000 employees might face layoffs due to
the deal.
Considering the size and scale of both Disney and Fox, the deal had
the potential to be scrutinized by various anti-trust regulatory
bodies.
