But Netflix is taking over Warner Brothers $87 billion. It means a lot for movies. It means a lot for streaming. John, it means a lot for sports. So Netflix goes from a giant basically to a Titan streaming universe, break it down for us. What does it mean for the future? Yeah, well, this deal sort of turns the whole TV world upside down. You got to think back a little bit. Netflix once upon a time said they'd never run commercials, and now they do. They said they weren't interested in buying sports right. And now they have the NFL games on Christmas Day, and they just closed a big deal with Major League Baseball. They've been running shows like Quarterback, Receiver, and Formula One, Drive to Survive. So clearly they think sports is important now. They also said they'd never make a big deal like this, and here they go, putting their money where their mouth is and buying the studio responsible for Superman, Dirty Harry, Casablanca, not to mention HBO with The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, and of course, Hard Knocks. So, whatever they said yesterday, it's hard to predict, but clearly they're being very, very aggressive and they're trying to conquer the TV world, and I don't think he could conquer the TV world without taking a big chunk out of sports. There's some, uh, you know, reporting online it seems like John that some of the big movie theaters, you know, are, are very concerned here that they end up losing a lot of their revenue because a lot of what we see in theaters has moved over to streaming do you think that a lot more of that will happen as well? Well, as part of their goal to try to make this deal happen, they've sort of promised that they would put movies in theaters again, but that hasn't been the way that they've done it mostly with their own movies. They've, the movies that they have promised, the directors that they work with that will go into the theaters have gone to the theater for a very, very short window, and theater owners don't like having a movie for just two weeks. They've got to turn it over, it screws up all their marketing. It's not, hasn't been good. So the, basically the, the, the, the studio, the Theater owners are not big fans of Netflix and Netflix is gonna have to try to win them over if they want to stay in the movie business.
