WBD is seriously systemically retarded. They keep deleting finished movies (completely deleting them) before release so they can write it off as a complete loss while releasing shit that would obviously never do well and losing money on it. I'm convinced executives in certain companies are starting to reach late-stage Habsburg levels of imbred retardatiom.

It depends how much longer the papa Khan is willing to bankroll a deficit. AEW isn't necessarily amazing on its own just because of the costs of running the show, but some mid-tier channel on a network people actually get would still be more than happy to air them if they keep up operations. Or more likely they stay on WBD but with a worse contract.

There is nearly no realistic chance they go on a lower contract, the ratings they're doing while people are saying they're slumping are far in excess of the initial expectation. AEW's first contract was less than dirt, and it got upgraded quickly into dirt.

Has streaming ever even been profitable? It seems like companies were trying to build the consumer-base first and then worry about monetizing it later. Streaming would be good for something like youtube where the users make the content, but having to pay for rights (or produce the shows yourself) and having to pay the fees to broadcast that over the internet is pretty brutal.

They're canceling movies because they think the amount of money they could make from releasing it is less than the money they could save by writing off taxes. This is the objectively correct business move. Dumbasses who couldn't manage a lemonade stand think they could manage a gigantic corporation better than the businessman who is running it, and has been cutting debt significantly. Max is also a profitable streaming service which most of them aren't.

Zaslav knows how to run a business. You do not.

The idea of streaming at first was decent, when every Tom, Dick and Harry decided to jump into it is what fucked it. Streaming was the alternative to paying $100+ on a cable/satellite bill every month. Now to watch this, that or the other you have to be signed up to 4-5 different platforms and there's a chance what you're looking for still isn't on them.

How sustainable is it though? Imagine locking yourself into a five year contract only to find out papa Khan isn't buying anymore toys. You'd watch the production value decline to bingo-hall levels before your eyes, and you'd be stuck paying 800k viewer rates on a show getting 400k. If you're a larger network that has alternatives, it's worth keeping the inherent risk in airing an unprofitable show in mind when choosing who gets prime-time TV space.

This isn't how taxes work. You can write off expenses no matter what. Not collecting revenues just means you're missing out on money that would come in, and a small portion of that would go to taxes. The amount of expenses you'd deduct from taxable income is exactly the same.

This is not true. Netflix is profitable. Max is profitable. Disney and Hulu were profitable in the last quarter, although Disney's streaming was a loss overall because ESPN+ dragged the department down. Peacock and Paramount+ are expected to be profitable next year. Prime Video is a different thing because it's mostly used as an extra incentive to get people to subscribe to Prime, and then spend more money on Amazon, although they've recently starting showing ads in a way to make some more money from that service.

Naw. We want them dead and the independent circuit to come back. At least on the indys, wrestlers work to get better at their craft, they fight for every dollar. In AEW, they become self entitled and lazy.

I still think there's gas left in the tank for some of the AEW guys, but spending 5+ years in AEW is killing their careers. Some people are in it for the money, but the ones who last? They're in it for the grind.
