🌋 Netflix May Trigger a “Seismic Shift”

Analysts at Futuresource Consulting believe that if regulators approve the deal, it could spark a “seismic shift” in the global media landscape.

Experts have long predicted that Netflix would expand into theatrical distribution and digital transactional markets. The merger would give the company access to multi-billion-dollar revenue streams from these sectors — as well as from merchandising, gaming, and theme parks.

The deal would grant Netflix control over properties like Harry Potter, enabling it to grow franchises beyond streaming and monetize content across numerous channels.

According to Futuresource, global consumer spending exceeds $36 billion on theatrical releases and around $8 billion on digital purchases and rentals. Netflix has no intention of missing out on its share of that market.
