And an absolute ton more.

Plus between them all kinds of Sports and News. They have an absolutely huge library between them, probably bigger and much more impressive then Netflix honestly. It's even enough to challenge Disney.

Combined Revenue of 72 billion, combined debt 60 billion.

For comparison Disney's revenue was 88 billion, but 32.5 billion of that was from the parks, leaving about 56 Billion from everything else. Debt of about 46 billion.

Netflix's revenue is 31 billion to debt of 15 billion.ut do they have anything new coming out that can keep a subscribing audience? They have a lot of old s

Some of the stuff I listed is new or will have new additions.

In addition to the older DC stuff, there is the Gunnverse coming starting with Superman Legacy and the Green Latern series and Creature Commandos, Halo gets new seasons, more new Star Trek seasons/series/movies coming, another mission Impossible movie, another King Kong movie next year, new D&D live action series, Attack On Titan I think is a live action adaption I think of the anime, etc..., so piles of new stuff coming as well .

I don't see anything that is mus watch or must subscribe to watch. And Attack on Titan live action? That might drive subscribers away. I can't see that turning out well.

Paramount is also making #1 best selling Children of Blood and Bone.

Sonic the Hedge Hog 3.

I don't know what you consider must watch, but that is alot of popular stuff and is a fraction of what is being made.

I've never heard of it, so I'm going to go with not must watch for me.

Sonic the Hedge Hog 3.

Wait, there was a 2?

I guess it would be something that people want to see bad enough to subscribe to a service to watch it.

You need to think beyond your own tastes to think about other parts of the market. You combine Paramount+ and Max and you've got the second biggest streamer.

Out of curiosity, what do you watch on Max?

You combine Paramount+ and Max and you've got the second biggest streamer.

Sure, they might be the second largest streamer, but are they going to stream content that gets new subscribers and keeps subscribers?

I don't have either Max or Paramount+, but if they combined it might be worth it.

Only time will tell when it comes to the ability to keep and gain subscribers.
