With the Barbenheimer-era now behind us, excitement is building for the next big blockbuster. Beyond the on-screen action, the Deadpool & Wolverine movie is a fascinating case study in intellectual property (IP) management and the strategic implications of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). When Disney acquired Twentieth Century Fox in 2019, it gained access to a vast array of IP, including the rights to the iconic character Wolverine. This acquisition allowed Disney to bring this character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, creating new storytelling possibilities and revenue streams. The intricate IP considerations involved in this merger highlight the value of strategic M&A in the entertainment industry. #EntertainmentLaw #IntellectualProperty #Disney #TwentiethCenturyFox #Marvel #Deadpool #Wolverine #FilmIndustry

Studios and exhibitors are horribly unaware of how bad the economy is. Lets be very clear, inflation has caused a recession. In times like these entertainment is the first thing to go in a budget. Whether it’s going to the actual movie theater, or canceling streaming subscriptions. Entertainment is unfortunately the collateral damage in an economic downturn. #film #economy #business #recession

Presently, the credit rate for films, high-end TV and video games stands at 34% (equating to 25.5% in actual relief) for all qualifying projects, regardless of budget but with an 80% cap on qualifying spend. However, with the rise in inward investment in the UK and rising costs across the board making it harder for independent films to get up and running as they battle with the US studios and streamers for UK crew, cast and shoot space, the call for urgent additional support for independent feature making is becoming more insistent. #filmmaking #filmproducer #filmindustry
