Hollywood Torrent: So About Relativity’s $1.1 Billion Bid for Maker Studios… (Video)

Relativity’s CEO questioned Disney’s deal for Maker even though he wanted to buy the company

One week, Relativity wants to buy Maker Studios. The next week, the company’s CEO says Maker has a problem.

If Ryan Kavanaugh fears that a lot of talent will leave Maker’s massive online video network in the wake of Disney’s purchase, then why bid on it in the first place?

Here’s what Relativity had to say:

“Both Relativity and Maker share a commitment to challenging the status quo, breaking down old models that don’t work and inventing new ones that do.  We will continue to aggressively explore future opportunities that align with our strategy to accelerate digital content creation and distribution.”
