The Merger That Broke Everything — And the Butterfly Effect of 2018 Prologue: The Warning We Didn't Hear In February 2026, Stuart Ford stood on a stage at the Berlin Film Market and said something that should have been a headline. The independent film veteran, chairman of AGC Studios, was asked about Netflix's potential takeover of Warner Bros. His answer was blunt: "Probably, no."

Jesus, did you?” Or even this: “I’ll have what she’s having.” If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you didn’t just hear these lines—you…

Introduction In the wake of a dismal October box office, AMC CEO Adam Aron has offered a simple diagnosis: The problem is not enough movies.
