To make this super-massive acquisition, Disney spent $ 52.4 billion, and this figure is considered to change the map of Hollywood competition because now Fox - which in fact one of the six giant studios - has "fallen" in the hands of Disney. If the added debt to be paid Disney, the value of this acquisition deal also reached $ 66 billion.
Based on the information, Disney's acquisition includes the 20th Century Fox film and television division, Fox's 22 regional sports channels, the FX entertainment cable channel and the National Geographic program, as well as a number of Fox's international operations, including pay-TV services based in India.
