gagzus 25,306 Posted yesterday at 03:15 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:15 PM (edited) Their quota post merge is they must collectively make 30+ movies a YEAR which is insanity. There’s no way all those movies will be good. Edited yesterday at 03:16 PM by gagzus Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering who is gonna be running them post-merge I can see them having more content that’s… not as universal shall we say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenWonder 4,785 Posted yesterday at 03:42 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:42 PM I think people who work in all the various jobs in the entertainment industry will be thrilled for more guaranteed work, but I have no doubt Ellison will find a way around the 30 movie quota. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 25,306 Posted yesterday at 04:31 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 04:31 PM Apparently Gavin Newsom is the reason it was allowed to go ahead. They were going to stop it through litigation and delay. He pushed hard behind the scenes claiming they were being too anti-trustworthy of corporations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way all those movies will be good. Oh no! The person closely tied to OpenAI who has invested billions into building data centers has also agreed to a 30+ movies a year? However will they do it. This has been expected since the start of the year and it's pathetic how little the industry in their country fought against it. It's gonna be a dumpster fire before it implodes. Guess we're going back to regional movies.
