Disney Promises to Double Fox Asset Sales to Win Antitrust Approval
Walt Disney Co. is prepared to sell off businesses generating as much as $1 billion in cash flow to win regulatory approval of its $71 billion bid to buy 21st Century Fox Inc.’s entertainment assets, it said in a filing Thursday. The promise, made as part of Disney’s improved offer for the assets, is double the $500 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization it initially offered to divest as part of the deal in December. The $1 billion in divestitures could include Fox’s regional sports networks, if the U.S. Department of Justice orders their sale.

Media Stocks: Debt, Deal Hopes, and Undead All Take a Toll
Disney's (DIS) sweetened takeover bid for 21st Century Fox (FOXA) has soured ratings agency Moody's Investor Service on the media giant's debt. Moody's placed Disney on review for a downgrade late yesterday, citing the company's major debt load, should it be successful in buying Fox and European satellite TV provider Sky: Moody's pegs the company's debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ratio around four times if the deal closes, 3.5 times without Sky. Of course, that figure could go higher if Comcast (CMCSA) ratchets up its own $65 billion offer for Fox and Disney decides to escalate again. Moody's expects that should a ratings downgrade occur, it will be limited to one notch." Needham's Laura Martin expects that Disney will win the day, given that Fox's controlling Murdoch family will vote its 17% economic interest for the deal, which means that only 40% of remaining shareholders need to agree, where as 60% of non-Murdoch shareholders have to vote for the Comcast deal.

Box Office: 'Incredibles 2' Will Pass 'Incredibles' Today
Walt Disney and Pixar's Incredibles 2 earned around $19.748 million on its sixth day of domestic release. Barring a massive downturn, it should pass the unadjusted $262 million gross, from 2004, of the original The Incredibles sometime today. If it can earn more than $91m, it'll have the biggest non-chart-topping weekend gross of all time, ahead of the $90m opening weekend of Pixar's Inside Out (which still placed second to Jurassic World's $106m second weekend).

Blaster flashes: Disney prop patent may generate more realistic in-park Star Wars battles
The Walt Disney Co.'s latest patent push is trying to make daytime shows even more realistic — possibly at its biggest theme park expansion yet. The Burbank, Calif.-based entertainment giant (NYSE: DIS), parent company to Orlando's Walt Disney World, filed a patent for a "theatrical prop for providing repeatable, daylight-viewable muzzle flashes," described as a display with special effects that can be seen in an outdoor entertainment or theatrical setting. Disney is pursuing this concept to overcome an ongoing challenge it faces in outdoor parades and shows in its theme parks, where it's difficult to achieve "lighting-based special effects" during daylight hours, according to the patent document.

Telecom M&A Poses No Near-Term Threat To Netflix, Says Bullish Pivotal Research
Wlodarczak expects to see another strong result with Netflix's second-quarter report, expected expected July 16 after hours, with the drivers being strong content launches and aggressive marketing. The AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T)–Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) deal could be an opportunity for Netflix to scoop up some talent from the latter, and HBO will likely be weakened as AT&T struggles to blend its vastly different operating cultures, Wlodarczak said.

Why 'Solo' Box Office Failure May Have Saved 'Star Wars'
Collider broke a big exclusive yesterday afternoon (minutes after I left the house to catch up with the delightful Hearts Beat Loud at my local arthouse), claiming that Lucasfilm is putting the brakes on any additional Star Wars Story spinoffs, including James Mangold's Boba Fett flick and Stephen Daldry's Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, after Solo: A Star Wars Story. The ill-advised young Han Solo prequel is a Death Star-sized miss. As much as I wouldn’t want any company panicking and doing a 180 after one flop following three straight $1 billion hits, this is good news for the Star Wars brand.
Reuters•15 hours agoInvestor Odey says Sky could be worth as much as 50 billion pounds
Top-20 Sky (SKYB.L) investor Crispin Odey said he expects the bidding war for the media company to carry on over the summer and that the European broadcaster could be worth as much as 50 billion pounds ($65.5 billion). The pay-TV operator is the subject of rival bids from U.S. peer Comcast Corp (CMCSA.O) and Rupert Murdoch-majority owned Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA.O), which currently owns a 39 percent stake in Sky but wants to buy it outright. Fox's long standing 10.75 pounds per share offer was trumped by a 12.50 pound per share bid from Comcast in April, valuing Sky at $31 billion.
