Re: 4-5 Million Today
Fandango stays separate for it's traditional movie ticket selling business and should see no effects from their purchase one way or the other. Except maybe get a few more eyeballs sent their way from Comcast playing them up on the comcast.net web portal.
Fancast.com will be a joint venture designed as another movie download service and will or will not make it based on the content they can sign up and what prices they charge and on DRM issues if any.

Yeah, because someone interested in the latest video is going to stop drooling and boycott the video because it's hosted by a Comcast-owned company...

| Confusing buy-out.
Can someone explain to me the logic behind this purchase?
I'm starting to see a new fad: companies buying others out for absolutely no reason. It's almost at random, if you ask me; the equivalent of a pharmaceutical company buying out an ISP. Huh?
I'm serious -- what do Fandango and Comcast have to do with one another *in any way shape or form*? It's confusing.

Wow, comparing buying out Fandango to curing cancer.
That's a big stretch for even the biggest of Comcast fanboys.

| This is the way Comcast should expand
This continues to show that Comcast can certainly expand its business while the FCC enforces cable system ownership limitations.

Re: Confusing buy-out.
Comcast will use Fancast to tie movie ticket sales to OnDemand (i.e. watch trailer OnDemand, and then order tickets for theatre, downloading content, etc.) It makes pretty good sense. Comcast wants to get more involved in content and programming. That's why they made the joint venture with Sony on the MGM purchase, and why they tried to buy Disney. They are taking small steps to make an even more powerful cable and media company. |

LOL! Comcast will suck up all independent companies. As much as I think this is bad who the hell is this company anyways when I realize this I think "Damn maybe this isn't such a bad thing for the customers of this company"
