FOX Buys ROKU, The Ramifications for Hollywood


Listen Later

Nothing like a $22B deal to start a week, as FOX was revealed as the mystery buyer for the ROKU business -- furthering its diversification from being heavily based in the linear TV ecosystem, to one with strong tentacles in the digital and streaming space.

Business Insider columnist and Channels podcast host Peter Kafka joins The Wakeup's Sean McNulty to dive into the strategy, what this means for Hollywood streamers and more.

Plus, The Ankler's Christopher Rosen joins Sean for a Monday Box Office conversation about the ... mixed opening for Spielberg's Disclosure Day and what lies ahead, as well as the big drops from opening weekend for Masters of the Universe and Scary Movie -- two pictures with vastly different fates at the box office.

And, why Universal will still likely win the summer despite the cloudy outlook for 'Disclosure Day' and more.
